Wireless Innovation Forum issues next-generation CBRS standard
The Wireless Innovation Forum (WInnForum) announced the approval of a new Release 2 specification defining enhancements to the baseline CBRS Operational and Functional Requirements. It defines optional features and functionality that can be incorporated at any time, with special focus on supporting specific vertical markets and their deployments. The specification was prepared by the WInnForum’s Spectrum Sharing Committee CBRS Functional and Operational Requirements Working Group, chaired by Andrew Clegg of Google.
