CBRS Open Spectrum, 5G, and IoT | Let's Connect! E008 | Federated Wireless's Kurt Schaubach

CBRS is an exciting new entrant in the long-running debate between open spectrum IoT connectivity and closed, private networks. Although each strategy has its place, the discussion rages on, especially for those thinking about security and data protection.
In episode 08 of the Let's Connect! Podcast, Kurt Schaubach, CTO of Federated Wireless, joins host Ken Briodagh to talk about CBRS Open Spectrum, 5G, security and privacy, and connectivity for the growth of IoT.
Kurt and Ken dig into IoT connectivity, focusing on open spectrum and CBRS (don’t know what that is? Click play.) We also dig into Industrial IoT (IIoT) connectivity, the costs of private 5G networks, shared spectrum, wi-fi and a cool U.S. Department of Defense Smart Warehouse Case study.
