What this episode covers

Greg Dial, EVP for Product and Marketing Strategy at JMA Wireless, explains Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) as a lightly licensed 150 MHz midband spectrum band that enables private LTE networks for enterprises. He contrasts CBRS with Wi-Fi, highlighting its superior security, channel management, and ability to support low-latency applications like augmented reality and edge computing in high-density venues like stadiums. Dial details JMA Wireless's evolution from connectors to software-defined radio platforms like X-Ram and Cusp, and discusses the industry's shift toward private wireless ownership and the upcoming Priority Access License (PAL) auctions.
