SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruckus
Networks, an ARRIS company, today announced it is the first
technology provider to achieve FCC certification for Citizens
Broadband Radio Service (CBRS). This certification covers Ruckus'
entire portfolio of 3.5 GHz access points under its OpenG™ brand.
This is another huge step towards commercial deployments on the
CBRS band for enterprise-driven private LTE networks and service
provider network augmentation.
Applications utilizing CBRS technologies include wide-area
surveillance cameras, mobile point-of-sale, remote data transfer to
critical communications and private LTE networks. CBRS improves the
wireless coverage and capacity on a large scale, making it ideal
for in-building, public space and industrial IoT wireless
requirements in a world where spectrum is limited but data demand
is not.
"With over 20 CBRS technology trials and as the first company
with FCC-certified CBRS APs, Ruckus is clearly a leader in this
space," said Chris DePuy, Technology
Analyst, 650 Group. "This technology will open up new use cases for
connectivity, automation, and indoor and outdoor cellular coverage
using the CBRS spectrum for the enterprise and service providers.
Congratulations to the team!"
CBRS is 150MHz of the 3.5GHz band (3550MHz to 3700MHz) made
available by the FCC for commercial use through an innovative
spectrum-sharing framework. This will make spectrum available for
the delivery of LTE services without requiring a license. Customers
want to take advantage of this opportunity to drive experiences in
in-building cellular, security, safety, automation and
analytics.
"This major milestone is one of the final stages before CBRS
commercial deployments are made possible," said Ian Whiting, President of Ruckus Networks. "As a
leading network provider, we are enabling organizations to deploy
and manage a private LTE network, as easily as deploying a Wi-Fi
network. Our OpenG LTE portfolio enables customers across a variety
of different verticals to take advantage of this spectrum."
