The transformative power of shared spectrum in private wireless

Private wireless is a disruptive technology that is changing the way that businesses build enterprise networks. It harnesses a ubiquitous resource called shared spectrum, also known as CBRS – an innovative technology that delivers the best attributes of traditional wireless and Wi-Fi, with lower fixed cost, higher quality, and greater efficiency and scale.

As the first to market with a Spectrum Access System ("SAS"), Federated Wireless is the nationwide leader in enabling, commercializing, and driving adoption of shared spectrum. The company has played a pivotal role in building the ecosystem and infrastructure to support mainstream adoption of shared spectrum and private wireless solutions. It has made it possible for businesses to deliver innovations that defy imagination in the categories of IoT, virtual and augmented reality, digital twinning, telemedicine, drones, robotic agriculture, artificial intelligence and more.

Federated Wireless was advised on the transaction by Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as placement agent on the transaction.
