CommScope, Ericsson Say Their CBRS Equipment Is Proven Interoperable

CommScope and Ericsson said tests they ran show their equipment designed for the 3.5 GHz citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) band is interoperable. The two said this was one of the first successful interoperability tests using the Wireless Innovation Forum’s release 1.2 specifications. Tests showed CommScope’s spectrum access system and Ericsson’s radio infrastructure with CBRS spectrum support can work together. “Ericsson offers a comprehensive portfolio of CBRS network solutions that will help operators of all sizes deploy in this spectrum quickly and successfully,” said Paul Challoner, Ericsson vice president-network product solutions. “Additional milestones need to be reached for CBRS to become a reality, but we are pleased to complete interoperability testing with CommScope as part of the developmental process.”
