Samsung helps enterprises and service providers to deploy private networks and bring greater intelligence to businesses with its CBRS network solutions
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that its latest Citizen Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) solutions have been awarded the OnGo® Certification from the OnGo Alliance¹.
OnGo® Certification ensures its members’ solutions meet the highest level of quality standards for reliable and quality service. A CBRS product must go through various testing to be validated for its quality, interoperability and security before obtaining the certification. With the certification, enterprises and service providers are assured that Samsung’s CBRS solutions satisfy the organization’s stringent standards.
CBRS offers an efficient way to build private networks for enterprises, opening up new business opportunities using mid-band frequency. It can also provide high-quality wireless services for underserved or hard-to-reach rural areas with a more cost-effective and time-saving approach than cable or fiber-based solutions. Samsung CBRS solutions are currently in use across multiple rural U.S. markets, and are commercially available to all service providers and enterprises.
“We are glad to have the OnGo® Certification on our CBRS solutions that will play a pivotal role in driving more private networks and bridging the local digital divide,” said Yong Chang, Vice President, and Head of Enterprise Business, Networks Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung looks forward to contributing to CBRS-driven digital connectivity, leveraging our leadership in wireless industry and extensive end-to-end private network solutions from radio to core and services.”
