Google, CommScope, Federated and Sony get SAS certified for CBRS

Wireless Future Project director Michael Calabrese is quoted in FierceWireless praising the FCC's move towards full commercial operations in the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band.

Michael Calabrese, director of the Wireless Future Program at New America, said the FCC's announcement on Monday is huge news because it represents the first time a telecom regulator has implemented truly dynamic spectrum sharing.

"CBRS should have even more impact because the incumbent service is U.S. Navy radar. If the U.S. military is now comfortable with dynamic sharing, successful implementation of CBRS should accelerate the opening of additional underutilized bands for shared access both here and globally in the years to come," he said in a statement. "We believe CBRS will be as consequential as the FCC’s innovative authorization of unlicensed spectrum and Wi-Fi two decades ago. After demonstrating success, the rest of the world followed suit.”
