Release notes
Release v0.17.0 July 23, 2026
Welcome to the refreshed Key Bridge CBRS Public Resources site—our open window into CBRS market data, spectrum tools, and installer training. This release modernizes the experience and deepens the insights you can take away without a portal login.
A cleaner, faster public experience
We rebuilt the public site on our latest application shell: clearer navigation, a consistent two-column layout, and a lighter visual design that keeps charts, maps, and commentary easy to scan.
Why it matters: you spend less time hunting for the right tool and more time answering questions about deployments, spectrum, and market direction.
- Unified sidebar for Home, Deployment Map, Spectrum Search, CPI Training, and the full Market Metrics suite
- Improved content layout so KPIs, charts, and written analysis stay aligned
- Public-focused packaging—tools and data that are meant to be shared, explored, and downloaded
Market Metrics: sharper charts, fresher analysis
Our Market Metrics pages remain the place to track how CBRS is growing and how spectrum is used nationwide—from county-level maps to multi-year grant and device trends.
What’s new in this release
- Updated market review across Overview, Market Trends, PAL Adoption, Grant Assignments, Grant Preferences, Radio Profiles, and U.S. Distribution—aligned to current archive data (through mid-July 2026)
- Narrative “updates since last review” sections so you can see what changed, what held steady, and where earlier readings were refined
- Clearer storylines for growth, GAA/PAL mix, channel preference, and geographic concentration—useful for planning, investment, and competitive context
Why it matters: metrics without interpretation are hard to act on. This release pairs live series with readable commentary so operators, vendors, and policymakers can brief stakeholders faster.
Radio Profiles: height is part of the picture
Radio Profiles already showed how the installed base splits by Category A vs B and indoor vs outdoor. That view is now complete with above vs below 6 m AGL counts in both the interactive charts and the downloadable dataset.
Why it matters: outdoor Category B dominance (~96%) does not mean every site is high on a tower. Height data shows a more balanced elevated vs low-mount mix (~56% / ~44%), which matters for coverage planning, interference expectations, and how you describe typical CBRS deployments.
Downloadable market data
Every major metrics view supports data download so you can take the same series into your own models, decks, and notebooks.
Why it matters: public charts are great for exploration; CSV exports are better for analysis you own. Files are clearly dated and dedicated for reuse.
Spectrum Search
Click the map, choose CBSD category, and see how much CBRS spectrum is available at a location—without signing into the full SAS portal.
Why it matters: early site screening is faster when you can test coordinates publicly before committing engineering time.
Deployment Map
Explore CBRS deployments across the United States on a navigable map—useful context for where networks are densifying and how coverage concentrates by region.
Why it matters: a national picture of real deployments complements tabular metrics and helps ground market discussions in geography.
CPI Training
Access Certified Professional Installer training pathways from the public site at no cost—so installers and partners can get qualified without friction.
Why it matters: certified installers are a hard requirement for many CBRS deployments; lowering the barrier helps networks go live correctly the first time.
What’s next
We will keep refreshing market narratives as archive data advances, and continue polishing the public shell around the tools people use most. If there is a report or dataset you want to see, contact us.
