On 19 November, a company called Chrome Enterprises sought permission to test up to 450 prototype devices using Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), a new technology that aims to deliver ultrafast wireless broadband over shared radio frequencies.In particular, CBRS opens access to a radio frequency band (3.5 gigahertz) that the FCC had previously set aside for military use, and makes it so that the military can share that band with anyone who buys a router or phone that supports the service, or has a cellphone plan with a carrier that has paid for a sliver of the band.

What do you want to know, been operating in this space for years, have maybe 12,000 operating radios.

There are a number of carriers that have invested in what was the 3.65GHz band. The FCC is cancelling those licenses and expanding the band by 70 or 80 MHz and renaming it. They are going to auction off big parts of it to large wireless carriers, allow those carriers to also use the portions of the band that are not being auctioned on an as-available basis, and leave the technology pioneers in the band to do the best we can mostly working around the 800lb gorillas. To coordinate such they created a new shared access regime for the spectrum, it’s unproven in operation but will certainly increase costs. We think we can make it work, but make no mistake, this is about getting spectrum to ATT and VZ for their urban mobile 5G networks.

The ability of the band to support fiber-like speeds is overstated. I believe that we’ve tested up to 160meg, but that’s with just a few radios. Load it up and you fall back to 25meg to 100meg depending on other factors.
