Industry Leaders Launch Alliance to Drive Deployment of LTE-based Solutions for the US .5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service
24/08/2016
CBRS Alliance launches initiatives with participation from Access Technologies (Alphabet), Federated Wireless, Intel, Nokia, Qualcomm and Ruckus Wireless and appoints Chairman
SUNNYVALE - August 23, 2016 - Six wireless technology leaders today announced the launch of the CBRS Alliance to develop, market and promote LTE-based solutions utilizing the shared spectrum of the U.S. 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band. The six companies -Access Technologies (Alphabet),Federated Wireless, Intel, Nokia, Qualcomm and Ruckus Wireless (now part of Brocade)-believe that access to spectrum in the 3.5 GHz frequency band will be critical to meet rapidly expanding wireless data demands.
In February, the companies announced their commitment to build an ecosystem of industry participants and make LTE-based solutions in the CBRS band widely available. This followed the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruling for CBRS, which opened 150 MHz of spectrum (3550-3700 MHz) for commercial use. The Alliance also actively supports the Wireless Innovation Forums efforts to develop and drive the adoption of standards around the unique aspects of operation in the CBRS band, which include providing standardized radio interfaces to the spectrum access system (SAS), interfaces between SASs, protection of federal and incumbent use operations, and managing the coexistence among those sharing the band.
With the impending allocations of 3400-3600 MHz for IMT in several countries, there is increased demand for LTE solutions worldwide, creating economies of scale. The Alliance believes that LTE-based solutions in the CBRS band, utilizing shared spectrum, can enable both in-building and outdoor coverage and capacity expansion at massive scale. In order to maximize CBRSs full potential, the CBRS Alliance aims to enable a robust ecosystem towards making LTE CBRS solutions available.
There is ever-growing demand for LTE-based solutions in 3.5 GHz bands and expansion of the wireless footprint, said Neville Meijers, vice president of small cells for Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and chairman of the board for the CBRS Alliance. Working together, the CBRS Alliance aims to enable the entire industry to address demand by expanding the capacity of new technologies.
The Alliance will work towards LTE CBRS field trials in the second half of this year and is developing an official certification process towards successful deployments of CBRS infrastructure.
With 80 percent of the data consumed indoors and 95 percent of the radio access network (RAN) Capex allocated to the outdoors, new solutions that produce negligible interference with legacy macro and Wi-Fi systems and are inherently designed to support multiple operators will likely play an essential role to normalize the location asymmetry between data consumption and mobile infrastructure investment, said Stefan Pongratz, senior director, carrier economics and mobile RAN market research at DellOro Group.
