The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently approved the launch of Citizens Broadband Radio Services (CBRS), an innovative framework for the shared access to 150 MHz of new wireless spectrum in the 3.55 - 3.70 GHz band. CBRS will provide a significant source of new spectrum to meet the demand for mobile connectivity and next generation applications and services. Through the CBRS Alliance (a consortium of commercial organizations supporting CBRS), the industry has formally adopted the application of LTE technology to CBRS. CBRS is a paradigm shift in the networking model for property owners and network operators. For the first time, universities will have the option to deploy private cellular networks providing all of the advantages of LTE without having to acquire expensive FCC licenses. In a campus setting, it is possible to see a future world of ubiquitous indoor and outdoor coverage delivered over a single radio network infrastructure that can support multiple services and service providers.
