CBRS Provides New Model for Repurposing Licensed Spectrum

Spectrum clearing and reallocation used to be the only way to shift capacity from one set of licensed users to others. It always is expensive and time-consuming. But new methods are coming to commercial reality.

Spectrum sharing now allows more-effective use of existing licensed spectrum that is underused, not by moving licensees, but allowing new users access on a shared basis. 

The Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) is a prime example. CBRS creates a three-tier access system where primary licensees are protected, but licensed secondary users have access when the primary user has fallow spectrum. Also, tertiary users can have "best effort" access, on the Wi-Fi model, when neither primary nor secondary users need all the available spectrum. 

Neville Meijers, VP Business Development, and Patrik Lundqvist, Director Technical Marketing, Qualcomm Technologies, talk about use models for CBRS.
