“It’s a very economical way to add capacity outdoors,” he said, adding that Verizon likely would employ carrier aggregation technology in the 3.5 GHz band in order to provide additional capacity to customers. Carrier aggregation technology allows wireless network operators to essentially “glue” together disparate spectrum bands in order to provide faster services, much like adding additional lanes of traffic to a freeway.Verizon isn’t the only company promising to immediately take advantage of 3.5 GHz spectrum. “We know we’re ready. We’ve done 50-plus trials,” said Kurt Schaubach, CTO of Federated Wireless, one of the companies that is selling database technology that will manage sharing among users in the 3.5 GHz band.And network construction company Extenet Systems is also ready to deploy CBRS systems. Extenet’s Jeff Alexander said that the company is testing 3.5 GHz systems in several sports stadiums and, if the company received approval to do so, he said Extenet “could be ready on several stadiums easily by the end of the year.”Verizon of course isn’t alone in its plans to deploy services in 3.5 GHz. AT&T last month announced that it selected Samsung and CommScope to supply its first 5G-ready CBRS network solution; the operator has said it plans to initially use 3.5 GHz spectrum for its ongoing fixed wireless service buildout. -- ???????? | |||
