DALLAS, Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The OnGo Alliance, the industry consortium driving the development and adoption of LTE and 5G solutions for the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), is excited to announce its upcoming Fall Meeting, "OnGo Forward: CBRS, 5G, and Beyond," taking place from September 17-19, 2024, in Dallas, Texas. This event promises to be a landmark gathering, particularly following the transformative launch of CBRS 2.0.

The recent launch of CBRS 2.0 marks a dramatic leap in shared spectrum technology. With features like smaller protection zones, extended device heartbeats, and an advanced GAA coexistence mechanism, the stage is set to further enhance network reliability and performance.

These improvements are not just theoretical – early data analysis reveals their significant real-world impact. An impressive 85% reduction in grant suspensions due to incumbent activity has been observed across all areas and CBRS channels. This dramatic improvement not only enhances the reliability of CBRS spectrum but also maximizes its utility for a wide range of applications. In some areas, the impact has been even more profound, with complete elimination of grant suspensions observed. This clearly demonstrates the transformative potential of the new rules introduced by CBRS 2.0. By ensuring even more consistent and reliable access to CBRS spectrum, the new framework paves the way for enhanced performance and expanded use cases across various industries.

The 2024 OnGo Fall Meeting will bring together an exceptional roster of industry leaders, innovators, and experts to discuss the latest advancements in CBRS technology, real-world deployment of CBRS networks, and its growing ecosystem. The event will feature an impressive lineup of speakers, including:

Al Sinopoli, P.E., Distinguished Engineer, RF Networks, Chevron
Andrew Clegg, Spectrum Engineering Lead, Google
Cornelius Honour, Jr., AVP, IT Infrastructure & Operations at DFW
