CBRS, once an experimental shared spectrum framework, has now become America’s fourth-largest wireless network ecosystem, serving an estimated 14 million subscribers. The technology has experienced a remarkable adoption with over 40% growth annually for the last 4 years, making it the fastest-growing wireless solution in the United States. But is CBRS the victim of its own success? With the concerns that the successful CBRS band could be targeted for repurposing, we must ask: how would disrupting this successful framework impact American wireless leadership and innovation? Let’s find out.
Our guest for today’s podcast is Masoud Olfat, President of OnGo Alliance. Masoud has extensive experience in wireless technology and spectrum management, having played a key role in advancing CBRS deployment and the broader shared spectrum ecosystem.
In our discussion today, we will uncover a few things, such as:
· The diverse ecosystem of applications enabled by shared spectrum
· The remarkable growth trajectory of CBRS from experiment to mainstream success
· The technical innovations behind CBRS 2.0 and its impact on spectrum availability
· Future opportunities for spectrum sharing and US leadership in wireless innovation
So, let us welcome Masoud Olfat.
