Spectrum Access System Unveils New Feature to Enhance CBRS Spectrum Availability Near the Coast
Google SAS is excited to announce support of CBRS 2.0, a set of changes to interference protection to Federal incumbents that significantly improves the availability of Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum near the coast. With this feature, Google SAS will be able to authorize service to approximately 72 million more people (for a total of approximately 240 million) nationwide without periodic service interruptions to protect federal operations, while also providing greater spectrum access within DPA neighborhoods due to fewer and less frequent grant suspensions.
Support for CBRS 2.0 will begin after CPAS on 07/26/2024. Check the CBRS overlays in SAS Portal to see the new DPA neighborhoods. You will also notice a number of CBSD grants are no longer in movelists.
These changes are a major breakthrough for SAS users, as it will open up a significant amount of new spectrum for use. This will benefit a wide range of applications, including fixed wireless broadband, public safety communications, and private networks.
The Google SAS team is committed to providing our users with the best possible experience, and we believe that CBRS 2.0 will be a valuable addition to our platform. We are excited to see how our users will use this new feature to innovate and create new solutions.
