CBRS makes it possible to take an under-utilized public resource – 150 MHz of low-band spectrum in the 3.5 GHz band – and close the digital divide for more than 24 million Americans who do not have access to fixed terrestrial broadband at the FCC’s benchmark speed.
Healthcare facilities face many challenges as the number of connected devices increase, while the imperative to secure patient data stays at an all-time high. Clinics and hospitals experience interference with existing wireless connectivity systems, such as Wi-Fi, and may experience “dead spots” that impact both staff and caregivers’ ability to access wireless services. This also creates a separate environment for caregivers and visitors to ensure patient safety by pushing non-critical usage to Wi-Fi while maintaining patient data over Private LTE.
