Wireless Join Federated Wireless on the CBRS Alliance to Develop
and Promote Shared Spectrum Solutions
Federated Wireless, Inc., a developer of cloud-based wireless
infrastructure solutions to extend the access of wireless cellular
networks, today announced that its agreement with Google, Intel,
Nokia, Qualcomm and Ruckus Wireless to develop, market and promote
solutions using the 3.5 GHZ Citizens Radio Broadband Service (CBRS)
band has been formalized with the official incorporation of the
CBRS Alliance. Sarosh Vesuna, senior vice president, corporate
development and strategic alliances for Federated Wireless, is on
the Board of Directors and is treasurer/officer of the CBRS
Alliance.
“Federated Wireless has been instrumental in leading the
creation of the shared spectrum ecosystem that will enable carriers
and enterprises to seamlessly and cost effectively alleviate the
challenges of sharing and managing spectrum while improving the
performance and capacity of wireless networks for their customers,”
said Iyad Tarazi, CEO of Federated Wireless. “The CBRS Alliance can
be a critical driver to the success of the shared spectrum
deployment in the CBRS band, which we believe has great potential
to drive innovation, support new business models and spur economic
growth.”
Last April, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted
rules for CBRS, which opens 150 MHz of spectrum (3550-3700 MHz) for
commercial use. Because spectrum access is actively coordinated
based on priority and granular location, it becomes possible for
regulators to make previously allocated spectrum available to new
entrants and services while providing necessary protections for
incumbent users of the band.
The CBRS Alliance aims to further build a robust group of
industry participants and make shared spectrum solutions as widely
available as possible. For example, private enterprises, venues and
fixed operators could autonomously deploy high-quality in-building
LTE networks into which all mobile network subscribers can roam.
Operators will benefit from a greatly expanded footprint and
capacity of the new spectrum, while subscribers will enjoy a
consistent wireless broadband experience, particularly in
challenging high user density indoor locations such as,
universities, schools, airports, stadiums and corporate
campuses.
The CBRS Alliance has already made progress in paving the path
to enable adoption of shared spectrum. The participating companies
have supported the Wireless Innovation Forum’s efforts to develop
standards around the unique aspects of operation in the CBRS band.
The companies are also working towards LTE-based field trials in
the second half of this year and a few showcased 3.5 GHz-ready
technologies at Mobile World Congress in February 2016.
Furthermore, noteworthy progress has been made towards the
commercialization of the 3.5 GHz CBRS band in the last month.
Federated Wireless has signed several commercial incumbents to
trial agreements and partnerships to use the CINQ XP platform,
which includes it’s Spectrum Access System (SAS) and Environmental
Sensing Capability (ESC), currently under review for final
certification and interoperability verification with the FCC. In
the meantime, Federated Wireless will be piloting its solution with
other providers in the CBRS band.
