What makes it different is once you've been allocated spectrum, which for in-building use is almost guaranteed, no one else can use that spectrum, so it's guaranteed. Unlike Wifi, where any device can transmit in those frequencies.

If it's in premise would that really matter much? I mean if I tried to set up an AP in an Amazon warehouse I assume they wouldn't be too happy about that.

        For the 3rd tier I assume that works pretty much like wifi
        spectrum, right? It seems to be at about 3.5Ghz so that would
        be pretty short distance. Other than handoff what other
        advantages does it have over wifi (can wifi do seamless l2
        handoff these days?)

            Why would somebody want this over wifi? And what
            spectrum are they
            using? They can't just camp on allocated spectrum, right?
