The FCC has recently adopted new rules for CBRS.  What do they mean?  Can you still access a PAL?  What are the implications on CBRS and WISP uses?  What's next?  When will the spectrum be commercially available?  Can I use GAA this year and if so, what will need to be done to start using the Band?  If I have Part 90 equipment, how can I transition it to CBRS equipment?  When will the FCC auction PAL spectrum?  What will the auction rules look like?  What do I need to do to make my network “CBRS ready?”  Get answers to these questions and others during this important Webinar.

WISPA is looking for members to join one of several committees or become a state coordinator to support our growing advocacy and educational efforts. If you can contribute your insights and a relatively small amount of time, it can have a huge impact on our industry and very likely your own professional satisfaction. If interested, please contact the committee chair listed herein.
