Federated Wireless Supporting Indoor Shared Spectrum Antenna Systems

Using the Citizens Broadband Radio Service band, the system is designed to connect large venues without taking up capacity on mobile carrier networks.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15, 2026 – Federated Wireless is launching a new system that will allow mobile carriers to provide indoor connectivity on Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum.

Mobile connectivity in large venues like sports arenas is provided with antenna systems throughout the building. Those typically have to use the carriers’ licensed spectrum, taking capacity from the surrounding outdoor area, Federated CTO Kurt Schaubach said.

The idea is that by supporting CBRS, spectrum that can be accessed for free, the system would free up licensed spectrum capacity carriers currently use for that indoor connectivity.
