FCC Authorizes Key Bridge for CBRS PAL Spectrum Manager Leasing
McLean, VA – Key Bridge Wireless LLC today announced that the Federal Communications Commission has authorized the company, along with other certified Spectrum Access System (SAS) administrators, to support Spectrum Manager Leasing of Priority Access Licenses (PALs) in the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band.
The approval, issued on July 12, 2022, under GN Docket No. 15-319, enables dynamic leasing arrangements that allow PAL holders to lease portions of their licensed spectrum to third parties through automated SAS-managed processes. This new capability increases spectrum efficiency and provides greater flexibility for users seeking targeted access to mid-band spectrum.
As a neutral, FCC-certified SAS administrator and Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC) operator, Key Bridge is well-positioned to facilitate these leasing transactions while ensuring continued protection of federal incumbents.
“This authorization marks another important evolution in the CBRS framework,” said Jesse Caulfield, CEO of Key Bridge Wireless. “Spectrum Manager Leasing aligns perfectly with the OnGo Alliance’s efforts to drive commercialization, making it easier for enterprises, carriers, and service providers to access and utilize valuable 3.5 GHz spectrum for private networks and innovative applications.”
Key Bridge remains committed to supporting the growth of the CBRS ecosystem through reliable, standards-based solutions.
