Spectrum Access System admin says spectrum controller is an industry first
Federated Wireless, one of the Spectrum Access System administrators for the 3.5 GHz ecosystem, says it is bringing spectrum sharing closer to reality with the commercial availability of its cloud-based spectrum controller to enable...
This paper addresses LTE radio performance in the 3.5 GHz band and how it compares with TDD band 40 (2300-2400 MHz). Experiments have been carried out for throughput Range versus Rate, CQI variation, MCS distribution, and SINR on different path loss. Based on these...
Nokia product launches focus on digital transformation for the enterprise
Cellular connectivity is essential for an always-on enterprise whether it's supporting a global sales team or internet of things-type deployments in a smart factory. As operators look to better support enterprises, private networks built on...
Spectrum sharing looks beyond exclusive-license models for spectrum use
Spectrum is a finite resource, and regulators and the wireless industry are always looking for ways to open up additional bands for wireless service use in order to address capacity issues. However, the general consensus is...
The CBRS test used four-channel carrier aggregation
Verizon and Ericsson today announced a joint test of a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) small cell using four-channel carrier aggregation combining licensed spectrum with two 20 megahertz channels in the 3.5 GHz CBRS band. Qualcomm provided an...
Neutral host provider ExteNet Systems is looking to incorporate CBRS technology into its distributed network approach. Integration of spectrum support for the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service is, as currently envisioned, based on a three-tiered priority approach, which could potentially allow new entrants...
Shared access to the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadcast Radio Service (CBRS) band is getting a lot of attention lately with Nokia asking the Federal Communications Commission for permission to demo CBRS small cells in Philadelphia for Comcast, and, now Verizon asking the FCC to...
In April cable and media powerhouse Comcast launched a branded wireless service to customers under the moniker Xfinity Mobile, a mobile telecom service delivered on the Verizon Wireless network under the terms of a mobile virtual network operator agreement struck as part of a...
For the enterprise, small cell or hybrid DAS/small cell makes more business sense, Johnson says
Nick Johnson founded ip.access in 1999, and is now the chief technology officer of one of the few remaining companies that solely focuses on small cell technology. Major infrastructure players...
Integration of shared CBRS spectrum into neutral host model opens up new use cases
Based on a recent filing with the U.S. Federal Communications Systems, neutral host provider ExteNet Systems is looking to incorporate CBRS technology into its distributed network approach. Integration of spectrum support...
Small-cell-as-a-service offering embraced by Chelsea Football Club
This week Ericsson announced decreasing sales across all business units including its managed services division, but Patrik Jakobson, head of network-as-a-service, a subset of the managed services unit, expects small-cell-as-a-service (ScaaS) to gain momentum in not only the...
The Internet of Things has delivered on its promises perhaps faster than any buzzword in recent memory: by 2014, we hit a milestone of more connected devices than people in the world, and we’ve shown no sign of slowing down. By 2020, we’re likely...
In recent weeks CTIA and T-Mobile US have both asked the Federal Communications Commission to change the way the agency plans to allocate the Citizens Broadband Radio Spectrum. If adopted, the proposed changes will help U.S. mobile network operators deploy spectrum in the 3.5...
The CBRS 3.5 GHz framework in the US is an innovative take on spectrum sharing. Regulators and the rest of the wireless industry worldwide are watching the adoption of CBRS in the US because it has the potential to increase spectrum utilization and to...
A question often raised about CBRS concerns options in the unlicensed bands – namely Wi-Fi, LTE in unlicensed bands and MulteFire. Does CBRS compete with them, and if so, which one will win?
With the increase in traffic and the widening of applications that use...
Spectrum access and usage is evolving with 5G, industry leaders say, noting the importance of CBRS as proof that sharing works
Wireless and networking executives, gathered at the recent Wireless Infrastructure Show in Orlando, Fla., agreed that the spectrum needs of 5G will require innovative...
With the recent confluence of new spectrum sharing innovations and the genesis of “Industry 4.0”—the digital transformation of industrial processes and the fourth industrial revolution—the potential for private IoT networks is substantial. New technologies, such as MulteFire and LTE-based CBRS, makes it possible to...
