Regulatory Assurance

CBRS Compliance

Spectrum Access System (SAS) integration, FCC compliance validation, and ongoing regulatory support for CBRS deployments. We ensure your Private 5G network operates legally and efficiently.

Why It Matters

CBRS non-compliance can shut down your entire network.

The Risk

The FCC can issue shutdown orders for non-compliant CBRS deployments. One violation could mean network downtime, legal penalties, and expensive retrofits.

  • Forced network shutdowns by FCC enforcement
  • Fines up to $10,000 per day for violations
  • Loss of CBRS operating license

Our Solution

We handle every aspect of CBRS compliance—from SAS registration to ongoing monitoring—ensuring your network remains in full regulatory compliance at all times.

  • Complete SAS integration and configuration
  • FCC compliance validation and certification
  • Ongoing regulatory monitoring and updates

Background

Understanding CBRS and SAS.

The Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) is a 150 MHz-wide broadcast band (3.5 GHz) managed by the FCC. Unlike traditional licensed spectrum, CBRS uses a three-tiered sharing model coordinated by Spectrum Access Systems (SAS).

Three-Tier Priority System

TIER 1: Incumbent Users

Military radars and fixed satellite services have first priority. All other users must protect these incumbents.

TIER 2: Priority Access License (PAL)

Licensed users with exclusive access to specific frequencies in specific geographic areas.

TIER 3: General Authorized Access (GAA)

Unlicensed users sharing spectrum on a first-come, first-served basis.

The SAS is the "traffic cop" that manages spectrum assignments, protects incumbents, and ensures all CBRS devices comply with FCC rules. Every CBRS radio must register with an FCC-approved SAS before transmitting.

Our Services

Complete CBRS compliance management.

SAS Registration & Integration

We register your CBRS devices with FCC-approved SAS providers (Google, CommScope, Federated Wireless) and configure automatic spectrum coordination.

  • Device registration and FCC ID certification
  • SAS domain proxy configuration
  • Automated grant request and spectrum assignment

Compliance Validation

Comprehensive audit of your CBRS deployment to ensure compliance with FCC Part 96 rules, including power levels, interference protection, and incumbent detection.

  • FCC Part 96 compliance audit
  • Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC) verification
  • Grant suspension and relinquishment testing

Ongoing Monitoring & Support

Continuous monitoring of SAS grants, spectrum availability, and regulatory changes. We alert you to potential compliance issues before they become violations.

  • 24/7 SAS heartbeat monitoring
  • Grant suspension alerts and remediation
  • Regulatory update notifications
