Spectrum Access System (SAS)

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) using CBRS band allows internet service providers to build out high-speed broadband networks quickly and cost-effectively. SAS combines licensed and general access CBRS spectrum effectively between base stations to Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) links, ensuring optimal data throughput for end users.

CBRS-based private 5G/LTE networks deliver improved coverage and security for business-critical applications not available with Wi-Fi. CBRS is also well suited for enterprises, public sector, and education customers who want to create local private cellular networks. SAS helps efficiently manage CBRS spectrum for private networks used by PAL and GAA users while avoiding interference.

Mobile network operators can use CBRS spectrum to expand 5G network coverage across the country, complementing their existing 5G deployments in other bands. This allows them to accelerate their time to market for innovative mobility, broadband, and enterprise solutions. SAS coordinates the CBRS spectrum across GAA and PAL channels, ensuring that there is a high level of spectrum availability.
