Federated Wireless Announces Upcoming Pilot Program for the Commercialization of 3.5GHz Spectrum

Federated Wireless, Inc., a subsidiary of Boston-based Allied
Minds (LSE: ALM), today announced plans for a pilot program with
several U.S. government agencies that aims to standardize and
certify the dynamic sharing of 3.5GHz spectrum.
The program will begin in July and will be the first of several
to take place at multiple locations throughout the United States.
The goal of the program is to accelerate the standardization and
certification of dynamic three-tier spectrum sharing, ultimately
resulting in commercialization of the band. The program will expand
over the summer to include commercial operators and several
third-party application providers.
Spectrum sharing aims to create a balance between the low cost
and versatility of unlicensed spectrum and the quality and
predictability of licensed spectrum. Unlocking the 3.5GHz spectrum,
nicknamed the “innovation band” by Federal Communications
Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler, is expected to provide
opportunities for innovating the way spectrum is licensed and
accessed by a variety of users — and meet accelerating demand for
broadband usage.
The recently issued FCC Report and Order for the 3.5GHz spectrum
put into place a three-tiered sharing system that the agency
expects to be enabled by a Spectrum Access System. Federated
Wireless, which was an early advocate of a three-tiered system, is
launching its own Dynamic Spectrum Access System that is designed
to leverage a dedicated network of sensors, manage interference,
optimize usage of spectrum resources, and provide an essential
level of security for incumbent users of spectrum.
“This pilot program is designed to provide the shortest path to
standardization and certification,” said Chief Executive Officer
Iyad Tarazi. “We see significant momentum and common interest among
all stakeholders to define, demonstrate, and implement spectrum
sharing technology and we are committed to providing the technical
leadership and support required.”
