FCC Approve Spectrum Access System Administrator Key Bridge Wireless for Full Scale Commercial Deployment in the 3.5 GHz Band

The Federal Communications Commission's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and the Office of Engineering and Technology certify Key Bridge Wireless LLC as a Spectrum Access System (SAS) Administrator in the 3.55-3.7 GHz band (3.5 GHz band). The FCC, in consultation with the Department of Defense and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), reviewed Key Bridge’s Initial Commercial Deployment report, and attested that Key Bridge has met the requirements in Part 96 of the FCC’s rules and is authorized to make its SAS available for commercial use for a five-year term. “It is exciting to see the rapid rise of the FCC’s Citizens Broadband Radio Service," said Acting Chairwoman Rosenworcel. “We are making history with this innovative band. The growing CBRS ecosystem is now supported by six competitive spectrum access database administrators. This is exciting for consumers, providers, and the future of spectrum policy.”
