Federated Wireless, which develops technologies to maximize the
utilization of spectrum resources, announced today that Kurt
Schaubach, former Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at
National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative (NRTC), is joining
the company as Chief Technology Officer.
Schaubach brings more than 20 years of experience in spectrum
development, management and policy. He will play a key role in
developing technologies and new business strategies for Federated
Wireless as the company works to create the next-generation
architecture of broadband wireless.
“The addition of Kurt to Federated Wireless’ world-class
technology team reinforces our belief that the company is poised to
be a leader in the growth of mobile broadband and the development
of 5G cellular communications,” said Iyad Tarazi, Chief Executive
Officer of Federated Wireless. “His breadth and depth of experience
will strengthen our team and the overall company.”
At NRTC, Schaubach was responsible for the company’s technology
strategy and product development in wholesale mobile wireless,
rural broadband wireless access, satellite broadband, microwave
backhaul, land mobile radio, and SCADA. He developed an innovative
partnership with a national mobile network operator (MNO) that
enabled rural exchange carriers to build and operate 4G networks;
managed a portfolio of VHF spectrum assets; and developed
distribution automation and demand response utility grid
technologies that leveraged spectrum assets.
Prior to NRTC, Schaubach led the acquisition of spectrum, and
managed the spectrum portfolio, at NextWave Wireless. He worked
closely with counsel at the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
on regulatory compliance matters and led an industry-wide coalition
to bring new technical rules and regulatory reform to the 2.3 GHz
WCS band.
"The wireless industry is in a period of explosive growth, and
the ability to unlock spectrum bands and increase spectrum sharing
is critical," said Schaubach. "Federated Wireless is developing a
truly disruptive technology. I'm excited to join the company at a
pivotal stage in its development - and at an exciting period of
transformation for the industry as a whole."
Schaubach was also a founding member of a publicly traded
wireless broadband and multimedia software company, and led the
acquisition and integration of two wireless infrastructure
companies. Schaubach was appointed by the U.S. Secretary of
Commerce to serve on the Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory
Committee (CSMAC), which advises the National Telecommunications
and Information Administration (NTIA) on a broad range of spectrum
policy issues. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the
Enterprise Wireless Association.
Federated Wireless is building a proprietary Spectrum Access
System (SAS) that leverages advanced cognitive radio techniques to
provide secure, dynamic and efficient sharing of spectrum
resources. The company’s innovations aim to address a growing
deficiency in spectrum, made scarce by an explosion in the use of
wireless communications and in particular, video content delivery.
Federal users as well as commercial carriers are seeking ways to
efficiently utilize and manage scarce spectrum resources, as there
is little available for growth of mobile broadband and the
development of 5G (fifth generation) cellular communications.
