In case you missed it – Spectrum for the Future’s Policy Director, Dave Wright, and OnGo Alliance Board Member and Senior Principal Architect at John Deere, Jason Wallin, recently spoke with Fierce Network’s Monica Alleven to reflect on 2025 and discuss the opportunities still ahead to protect and grow the diverse ecosystem of Citizens Broadband Radio Service users. After a tumultuous year for the proven band, both Wallin and Wright remain positive about the future of CBRS, even amid a push by mobile companies for higher power levels that would fundamentally alter the shared band.

“It’s literally everybody else against mobile. It’s mobile who wants the higher power, which isn’t surprising, given that they have high power exclusion licenses on either side of CBRS,” said Wright.

John Deere is one of more than 1,000 CBRS operators who are using the sharing framework, launched during the first Trump administration, to make their businesses more efficient.

“I’m not sure I anticipated ten years ago the amount of video that was going to be used over CBRS. It’s cameras on factory floors capturing nuts being screwed into equipment and making sure that it’s aligning to the right place,” said Wright.

There are more than 422,000 active CBRS base stations deployed nationwide, benefiting everything from manufacturing to schools to agriculture to airports. Spectrum for the Future will continue advocating for this crucial band in the new year.
