Five WInnForum members earn FCC approval to begin operation in CBRS band
The Wireless Innovation Forum (WInnForum) announced that members Amdocs , CommScope, Federated Wireless, Google and Sony have received FCC Spectrum Access Systems (SAS) approval to begin Initial Commercial Deployment (ICD) in the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band. This watershed event, which signifies that each organization has met lab testing requirements, marks the beginning of commercial operations within the band.
