As part of its 5G FAST plan, the FCC’s Auction 105 for CBRS band Priority Access Licenses (PALs) was met with unanticipated success. Auction 105 made available the highest number of spectrum licenses ever in a single auction. It raised $4,543,232,339 in net bids, with 228 bidders winning 20,625 licenses out of 22,631. The sale of these 70-MHz spectrum licenses is expected to further 5G deployment, IoT and other advanced spectrum-based services in the U.S.

In this webinar, our panel of experts and analysts will examine winners, plans and outlooks for the band’s application. CBRS is the first large-scale experiment on the concept of spectrum sharing and one being watched with great interest after the auction’s unexpected results. Join us to learn more about this and understand the impact CBRS may have on enterprise markets.
