The OnGo Alliance, an industry consortium dedicated to accelerating the adoption of LTE and 5G solutions in the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band, has announced strides in CBRS deployment across various industries. This progress was showcased at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Las Vegas 2024 and the OnGo Alliance Fall Member Meeting in Dallas, titled “OnGo Forward: CBRS, 5G, and Beyond.”
“The success stories and innovations shared at both MWC Las Vegas and our Fall Member Meeting make it clear that CBRS is no longer just a promising technology—it’s a reality across multiple sectors,” said Alan Ewing, the executive director of the OnGo Alliance. “CBRS is unlocking new possibilities in wireless connectivity, efficiency and innovation across industries including airports, universities, smart cities, and industrial IoT.”
Industry adoption highlighted at MWC Las Vegas
At MWC Las Vegas, the OnGo Alliance demonstrated CBRS’s potential through a dedicated pavilion with member pods and participation in summits and panel tracks, underscoring CBRS’s benefits for private networks. A pivotal moment came at the Connected Aviation Summit, where multiple airport CIOs shared their active deployments of CBRS private networks, underscoring that CBRS is moving from pilot projects to scaled, production-level deployments for real-world applications.
The Private Networks Bootcamp for system integrators was especially well-attended, reflecting CBRS’s rising interest. Oren Binder, the director of marketing for the OnGo Alliance, presented diverse CBRS deployments across industries, sparking insights into how CBRS-based private cellular networks can address operational challenges for enterprise clients.
MWC Las Vegas also marked the announcement that over 400,000 CBRS devices (CBSDs) have now been deployed – which is signaling CBRS’s adoption and its growing impact on transforming wireless connectivity in sectors nationwide.
