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.

OnGo for Higher Education
With the recent announcement for the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
who authorized full commercialization of OnGo
services using the 3.5GHz CBRS band. The
Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) and
Private LTE offers a new opportunity to the higher
education industry to integrate mobile broadband
access within operations and to benefit students,
faculty and staff at University and other Campus
