Federated Wireless Introduces System for Networks Using 3.5 GHz Shared Spectrum

Federated Wireless has introduced its  “CINQ XP” network for planning, configuring and managing networks on shared spectrum, such as the coming 3.5 GHz “Citizen’s Broadband Radio Service” that will allow U.S commercial users to share spectrum licensed to U.S. government agencies.

Federated Wireless has been working on developing the ecosystem and standards for the 3.5 GHz band since the Federal Communications Commission introduced rules for CBRS in April 2015.

Key Benefits of CINQ XP  are said to include:

• Access to a new model of shared spectrum that combines the quality and predictability of licensed spectrum with the low cost and versatility of unlicensed spectrum
• An extension of networks indoors utilizing cloud economics, reducing the high cost of Wi-Fi infrastructure
• The ability to plan and optimize networks in real time in the cloud, reducing the cost and time needed for field engineering
• New market opportunities that will help to facilitate the smart home and mobile enterprise
• On-demand analytics to allow for the dynamic management of networks
• Compatibility that allows for integration with existing tools and services
• Identification of secondary markets

The solution allows customers to

• Access a full list of FCC-certified devices
• License users through Priority or General Access
• Plan an extension of their existing network with spectrum sharing
• Provide and manage access points without field engineering

“Federated Wireless has long been developing technology and intellectual property in conjunction with the Federal Government and other stakeholders of the wireless ecosystem to enable our proprietary technology for the 3.5 GHz band,” said Federated Wireless Chief Executive Officer Iyad Tarazi.
