Fixed wireless service providers lead the way in adoption of premium CBRS
ARLINGTON, Va., March 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Federated Wireless, the market leader in spectrum management and shared spectrum services, today announced the launch of its cutting-edge Premium Enterprise Grade Spectrum (PEGS) solutions. Catering to a rapidly expanding CBRS ecosystem which boasts over 402,000 CBRS-enabled devices, Federated Wireless currently manages 45% of total enabled devices.
Servicing over 600 customers and accounts, Federated Wireless continues to introduce algorithmic improvements to its cloud-based Spectrum Access System (SAS), enhancing performance across the CBRS ecosystem. The company also recently launched the Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) service, extending its platform to the 6 GHz band, underlining its commitment to unparalleled customer support and the development of new spectrum bands.
Investments in expansion of its Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC), which ensures five-nines of SAS reliability, led to Federated Wireless’s completion of deployments across all 50 states, with recent efforts finalizing in Hawaii. Territories including Guam, Saipan, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands are now fully operational. The company also elevated DPA redundancy through tactical site adjustments and additions. Pioneering a novel enclosure that delivers 10-12 days of uninterrupted power during outages and implementing dual-active radios with multi-SIM capability, Federated Wireless ensures seamless transitions across cellular networks, fortifying backhaul connectivity.
Tyson Curtis, CEO of Resound Networks, stated, “The increased reliability and service quality we’ve experienced since migrating our devices to Federated Wireless are critical to meeting our operational needs. Their advanced technical support sets a new standard for CBRS SAS connectivity, allowing us to focus on building our networks to meet increasing customer demands.”
Kent Winrich, CTO of Open Broadband, remarked, “Our collaboration with Federated Wireless has been pivotal. Their agility and responsiveness in transitioning our devices to their service were remarkable. Thanks to Federated Wireless, we’ve achieved a more reliable and robust service, ensuring our customers are always connected.”
Guadalupe Valley Electric Cooperative (GVEC) CEO Darren Schauer said, “GVEC looks forward to the continued partnership with Federated Wireless, the pioneer in shared spectrum technology. Their support and performance have elevated our capabilities, delivering unmatched reliability and support for our 3GHz licensed fixed wireless operations.”
