A Brief History of CBRS

• Spectrum sharing is codified under FCC “Part 96” (Code of Federal Regulation, Title 47, Chapter 1, Volume 5, Part 96)

• Wireless Innovation Forum (WInnForum) and CBRS Alliance work cooperatively to develop testing and certification schemes to support CBRS Band deployments


Industry Organizations with a Primary Focus on CBRS

– Standards development organization– Radio technology neutral– Functionality and architecture for SAS and

ESC– Requirements, processes, and methods for

protection of incumbent users– Interoperability requirements and protocol

definition– Common framework for FCC testing and

certification

– Industry alliance– Evangelize LTE and 5G-based CBRS

technology, use cases and business opportunities

– Develop technical requirements for CBRS use cases

– Establish an effective product certification program for LTE equipment in the 3.5 GHz band ensuring multi-vendor interoperability


CBRS 3-tiered spectrum sharing in the US

Opens up 150 MHz spectrum for new commercial use without impacting incumbents

Incumbents are protected from interference from PAL and GAA

PAL has priority over GAA, licensed via auction, 10 MHz blocks, up to 7 licenses

GAA can use any spectrum not used, yields to PAL and incumbents

Unprecedented Government/Industry Collaboration

“NTIA’s groundbreaking engineering work and close collaboration with the FCC, DOD and industry played a critical role in opening up the 3.5 GHz CBRS band for next-generation wireless services. New 5G and 4G operations in the band will create tremendous value for our nation – both in terms of their contributions to GDP and further strengthening U.S. leadership in wireless technologies. We look forward to seeing the new licensed services in the band, which provides an optimal balance of capacity and coverage and will facilitate rollout of 5G.”– Douglas Kinkoph, NTIA Associate Administrator, Jan. 27, 2020 speaking about CBRS FCD

“The FCC has made it a priority to free up mid-band spectrum for advanced wireless services like 5G. And today, I’m pleased to announce the latest step to achieve that priority: the approval of four systems that will enable the 3.5 GHz band to be put to use for the benefit of American consumers and businesses.”—Chairman Ajit Pai, Federal Communications Commission, Jan. 27, 2020


Learning the Lingo

• Use “OnGo”• When describing the use of shared spectrum technology. In the 3.5 GHz band: “OnGo enables connectivity without compromise.”

• To describe the official CBRS Alliance OnGo Certification Program: “Radios will be OnGo-Certified.”

• Use ”CBRS Alliance”• When referencing the organization behind the OnGo brand: “The CBRS Alliance is an industry organization focused on driving the

development, commercialization, and adoption of OnGo™ shared spectrum solutions.”

• Use “CBRS”• To describe the band and/or the FCC ruling: OnGo will enable expanded business opportunities in the CBRS* band.

• Suggested use of “3.5 GHz” or “Band 48” as the preferred terminology, whenever possible.


Connectivity Challenges in Industrial


James JacobellisVP of Partners and Business Development, Geoverse



Industrial Connectivity Challenges

1. Coverage and capacityPublic cellular coverage remains inconsistent in many industrial facilities.

02. Security & Predictability of Wi-FiWi-Fi, security is limited not able to cover an entire site and is not reliable enough for mission critical equipment and data collection.

03. Wired Solutions Fiber and Ethernet are costly, time consuming and not appropriate for the dynamic nature of today’s factory floor.

04. Data Privacy and OwnershipWhen connectivity is provided by a public mobile operator - your data must be routed through the operator’s backend before reaching the end server or application platform. This results in lack of ownership and effects governance, security, and privacy.

ConnectivityChallenges

OnGo Use Case: Oil & Gas

• Company: PK Companies• Use Case: Worker safety at large refineries• Solution: OnGo Private LTE network using CBRS• Contents:

– Overview of PK Companies and their innovative service for oil & gas refineries– Requirements for a reliable network to connect IoT devices and wearables– Challenges for reliable network connectivity using WiFi or public LTE networks– Solution overview using OnGo Private LTE to create a reliable network– Customer quotations– Benefits of the solution


PK Companies

Overview– Provides Industrial Specialty Services to the oil,

gas, petrochemical, heavy industrial & manufacturing industries

– Works in and/or ships to all 50 states and 5 countries

– Four divisions:• PK Solutions• PK Safety• PK Industrial• PK Technology


Service Overview

PK Solutions– A division of PK Companies– Provides workforce and data management technology

to support refinery inspection & repair services.– Safety-focused IoT wearables and devices to track

worker biometric and gas-related data– The service requires setting up a temporary workforce

and data network at an oil and gas job site– Goal is to complete the services safely, reliably and

quickly to minimize refinery downtime– Solution sold directly to refinery or used by other

PK divisions for turnkey services


Requirements

Components of the Solution– Software on tablets for Digital Inspection and Workforce Optimization– Devices: gas monitors, biometric monitors, wearable devices, tablets – Network connectivity for all devices

Safety requires Pervasive Connectivity– Must reach all workers and devices located at the site– Must cover the inside of tanks (after they are drained) – Tanks can be hundreds of feet tall– Tanks can be either ground-based or vessel based– Devices track worker vital signs and environmental readings– Video cameras inside the tank for safety officers to monitor workers– Can’t have any fluctuations in Quality of Service


Challenges

Key Challenges – Coverage, Reliability, QoS– Refineries cover very large locations– Lots of metal structures with odd shapes– Need coverage inside of tanks

Tried to use WiFi – Didn’t provide the required pervasive coverage– Wasn’t stable or robust enough to meet demands

Tried to use Public LTE– Coverage not always pervasive in industrial locations– Lower-priority traffic created network congestion – IoT devices were competing with regular cellphone users– Couldn’t provide QoS to life-critical

IoT devices & wearables


Private Wireless Solution

Highlights– Secure and dedicated wireless network– Full capacity for onsite workers– Controls which workers have access to

the network– Ensures that they get the right level of

priority and performance.

Details– Leverages OnGo CBRS network– Cradlepoint for the routers– Nokia for the small cells & EPC– Available as for temporary or

permanent deployment– Visit: Weavix.com/WeLTE
