Transferring to Key Bridge

Transferring your CBRS service to Key Bridge is easy and seamless with our Transfer Wizard.

Once the transfer is complete, you gain immediate access to the Key Bridge Spectrum Access System (SAS) with full administrator control over your licenses, radios, and all granted spectrum assignments.

To make the migration even smoother, we provide a dedicated Transfer Wizard directly in the Key Bridge CBRS portal:

This wizard supports seamless, hitless transfers from other SAS providers. You can move your operations without any service outage or disruption to your customers. The process is designed for maximum convenience, giving you full control over timing and pace.

Choose the on-boarding path below that matches your current CBRS deployment.

Important Billing Impact

No charge until completion.

We do not count transferred radios against your billing volume until you have finished configuring the radios and the CBSD has successfully contacted our SAS. You have up to 30 days to complete this step (extensions are available upon request).

This policy gives you the flexibility to pre-authorize your radios through the wizard first, then execute the actual cutover whenever it best fits your schedule — delivering maximum stability and zero impact on your end users.

Transferring Priority Access Radios

Import radios currently operating under your CBRS Priority Access License (PAL) authority.

Before you start:

• Verify your FCC Registration Number (FRN)

If your PAL-licensed radios are already registered with another SAS, we recommend using the PAL Transfer utility available inside the Transfer Wizard.

This method transfers your existing PAL registrations intact, preserving all current grants and assignments without the need for re-registration. You receive a full month (extendable on request) to complete configuration while maintaining uninterrupted service. It is the preferred, lowest-risk path for PAL holders who value continuity.

Transferring General Authorized Radios

Import radios currently operating under CBRS General Authorized Access (GAA) rules.

Before you start:

• Collect your radio information

You will need to identify all of your radios in a spreadsheet. We provide a simple template for download.

For GAA radios, the Transfer Wizard allows you to import any number of devices in a single bulk operation using a straightforward spreadsheet template. Each radio must be entered on its own row with the required fields completed accurately.

Spreadsheet Column Specifications

Example Spreadsheet Entry

Each radio must appear on its own line. At minimum, the first four fields are required. Here are two valid examples:

FCCID1234,6PQ5SYP6MG2,39.123456,-83.654321,customerX.jobY.radioZ
FCCID1234,6PQ5SYP6MX3,38.987654,-84.123456

The first line includes an optional display name; the second demonstrates the minimum required data.

Field Formats and Matching Strategy

• FCC ID — Exact match, case-insensitive.
• Serial Number — Exact match (case-sensitive).
• Latitude / Longitude — Matched using six significant digits of precision.
• display_name — Must not contain any comma (,) characters.

How We Verify Ownership

Securely transferring radio registrations requires reliable proof of ownership. We only need four pieces of information per radio — functioning as a username, password, and secondary verification combined. These four data points are sufficient to grant you full administrative control:

• The FCC ID serves as a publicly discoverable identifier.
• The Serial Number acts as a protected shared secret (not available in public databases).
• The combination of Latitude and Longitude provides strong two-factor geographic authentication, since the precise installation location is not public information.

This approach allows us to confidently confirm legitimate ownership while keeping the process simple and efficient for you.

After Transfer: Configure Your Devices

Once your radios have been transferred or pre-authorized through the wizard, the final step is to direct your CBRS devices and domain proxies to the Key Bridge SAS. This is a simple configuration update on each device.

Key Bridge SAS Endpoint

https://sas.cbrs.keybridgewireless.com/v1.2

Use this exact URL in your device or domain proxy configuration.

Important benefit for transfers: When moving from another SAS provider, CPI re-registration is not required. We automatically import your existing device configurations, including active Grants and PPAs. You only need to update the SAS URL field, save, and apply the change.

Vendor-Specific Configuration Locations

Locate the appropriate setting for your equipment using the table below:

After updating the URL:

1. Save the new configuration.
2. Reboot the radio, or click Apply & Re-register.

Your device will automatically connect to the Key Bridge SAS and receive a grant within 1–2 minutes.
