CBRS: Bob Plaschke outlines promising options to leverage 3.5 GHz spectrum

Bob Plaschke, a longtime advocate of wireless broadband technologies and former CEO of Sonim Technologies, describes potential use cases and capabilities for the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum at 3.5 GHz to support enterprises’ private LTE systems delivering connectivity for a host of applications, from general Internet access to Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives. Enterprises can access CBRS airwaves through the Priority Access License (PAL) tier–the subject of an FCC auction that is scheduled to begin in July–or through the General Authorized Access (GAA) tier, which does not require a financial commitment.
