FCC’s Public Notice of Approval for Initial
Commercial Deployment (ICD) of CBRS will Help Airports, Stadiums
and Other Large Venues Power Connectivity in the 5G Era
Boingo Wireless (NASDAQ: WIFI), the leading distributed antenna
system (DAS), small cells and Wi-Fi provider that serves carriers,
consumers, property owners and advertisers worldwide, will launch
initial commercial deployment (ICD) of the 3.5 GHz Citizens
Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band following the FCC’s public
notice of approval. Boingo’s neutral host CBRS network expands
wireless coverage and capacity at large venues to accommodate
mobile demands and deliver a seamless and secure connected
experience.
“The FCC has done a tremendous job opening more spectrum for the
wireless community, spurring new innovation opportunities for the
5G era,” said Boingo CEO Mike Finley. “The ICD approval of CBRS is
an exciting milestone that enables Boingo to deploy private LTE and
IoT networks, and facilitate carrier offloading to the 3.5 GHz
band.”
A CBRS pioneer, Boingo deployed the first known CBRS network at
a major airport when it launched a private LTE cellular network on
the 3.5 GHz band at Dallas Love Field Airport, which services more
than 15 million passengers annually. CBRS is part of Boingo’s
wireless convergence portfolio that leverages licensed, unlicensed
and shared spectrum. Boingo partners with airports, stadiums,
office buildings, military bases, multifamily communities and other
commercial properties to power networks that meet connectivity
demands of today, and can scale to support content consumption in
the 5G era.
“Since joining the Alliance, Boingo has been one of the
strongest advocates for CBRS and OnGo™,” said Alan Ewing, executive
director of the CBRS Alliance. “With the newly-announced commercial
availability of OnGo services on the CBRS band, businesses can
explore a variety of deployment options to support their
connectivity needs, including neutral host leveraging private LTE.
We at the Alliance applaud Boingo’s active support and continued
commitment in helping to realize the potential of OnGo.”
OnGo is the brand name for CBRS-based technology.
