Federated Wireless’s Adaptive Network Planner Aims to Ease BEAD Deployments

The Adaptive Network Planner—announced by Federated Wireless—aims to help fixed wireless access (FWA) and private networks efficiently and effectively leverage Citizens Band Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum for Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) projects. Federated Wireless says that the CBRS is better suited for BEAD deployments than 5 GHz, 6 GHz or satellite approaches. However, its use requires advanced dynamic planning and related capabilities. Federated Wireless attempts to provide them with the ANP. The ANP provides live RF channel planning and coverage analysis using real-time shared spectrum data. The data is enhanced by AI-powered propagation modeling.
