CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) Shared Spectrum
This dataset provides granular records of spectrum assignments in the CBRS 3.5GHz band, detailing the three-tier access model (Incumbent, PAL, GAA), frequency blocks, locations, SAS operator coordination, and assignment status. It enables analysis of dynamic spectrum allocation, regulatory compliance, and operational insights for wireless network planning and management.

Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 140 rows came out of a blueprint — 20 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.
Rules it was built with
- CBSD (Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device) identifier
- Frequency assignment: 10MHz channel allocated by SAS within 3550-3700MHz
- Tier assignment: Incumbent (priority 1), PAL (priority 2), GAA (priority 3)
- PAL license: geographic license area (counties), 10-year term
- SAS (Spectrum Access System) coordination for interference avoidance
- Dynamic frequency assignment based on incumbent activity (military radar)
- Transmit power limits and EIRP calculations
- Use cases: mobile operator capacity, private enterprise networks, rural broadband
