Spectrum and CBRS

Access to spectrum is needed

for wireless services

FCC controls access in USA

To access spectrum FCC mandates

operator use a certified SAS

(Spectrum Administration Service)

Private & Public Services

licensed

Exclusive use per operator

many bands globally for LTE, 5G

managed & shared

Shared use – interference protection - 3.5Ghz in USA

unmanaged & shared

Shared use – best efforts

Wi-Fi 2.4, 5GHz, 11GHz

Spectrum Types Citizens Broadband Radio Service

Tiered structure to prioritize spectrum use by incumbents:

Navy, Federal satellite stations and GWPS etc.

Spectrum Sharing beyond CBRS

Specification released

Requires CPI Installation?

No, unless CBSD geolocation cannot be

determined and is 6 meters above HAAT

Yes

May be used indoors

Yes No

May be used outdoors

Yes, but only below certain height limit.

Yes, no limit on height

Used on moving object? (e.g cars, trains, plane etc)

No No

Must register and communicate with SAS

Yes Yes

• They can be physically installing.

• They can be signing off on physical

installation perform by others, but

they are 100% liable for installation

and site parameters sent to the SAS.

• CPI certification are held by the CPI,

not the employer.
