CBRS: America’s Most Widely Utilized Mid-Band Spectrum Asset

The Citizens Broadband Radio Service spectrum band is increasingly delivering many of the most important innovations, competitive pressures, and consumer benefits in the wireless marketplace. By enabling new entrants to deploy localized wireless infrastructure and offload traffic onto privately managed spectrum, CBRS is creating new forms of competition that were previously impossible without billions of dollars in auction spending. To support the wireless data needs of U.S. manufacturers and other leading industries, it is imperative that policymakers understand that CBRS is the mid-band spectrum truly powering private 5G deployments and American innovation, productivity, and global wireless leadership.
