The mid-band CBRS spectrum has been an extraordinary boon to private networks and digital innovation in the US. Enterprises across verticals are investing in automation, taking advantage of the security of private LTE networks and the control of the quality of service. Some verticals like manufacturing have entered the adoption stage, and others like utilities have overcome the initial barriers to adoption. As the usage of shared spectrum bands booms, will we soon see mass commercialization of CBRS-based networks, or is it still early days? Let’s find out.
