FCC Certifies Key Bridge as 6th SAS Administrator for CBRS Commercial Deployment
McLean, VA – Key Bridge Wireless LLC announced today that the Federal Communications Commission has granted full certification and approval for its Spectrum Access System (SAS) to operate commercially in the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band, under GN Docket No. 15-319.
With this certification, announced via Public Notice on March 9, 2021, Key Bridge becomes the sixth approved SAS administrator, joining a select group that includes Google, Federated Wireless, Sony, Amdocs, and Nokia. The approval follows rigorous testing of Key Bridge’s SAS for security, interoperability, and incumbent protection capabilities.
Key Bridge’s SAS dynamically manages spectrum access for Priority Access License (PAL) holders and General Authorized Access (GAA) users while coordinating with certified Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC) networks—including its own—to protect federal incumbents. The system adheres to protocols developed by the Wireless Innovation Forum (WInnForum), ensuring seamless multi-vendor interoperability.
“This certification is a testament to years of collaboration across the CBRS ecosystem,” said Jesse Caulfield, CEO of Key Bridge Wireless. “As a neutral SAS provider, we’re committed to delivering reliable, cost-effective spectrum management that empowers enterprises, carriers, and innovators to build the next generation of private and shared wireless networks.”
Key Bridge Wireless is now fully operational for commercial CBRS deployments nationwide.
