Spawned from the FCC ruling in 2012, shared wireless with 150Mhz of spectrum is making inroads into everyday life via the Carriers, enterprise companies and cloud companies taking advantage of the Citizens Broadband Initiative.

The 2012 FCC initiative is discussed by Federated Wireless CEO Iyad Tarazi with Don Witt of The Channel Daily News. This Initiative takes previously exclusive military spectrum and allows the sharing with: •    Government •    Telecommunications carriers •    Enterprise •    Average user The shared spectrum can be said to be positioned in between WiFi and the licensed spectrum providing the shared components of WiFi with the performance and predictability of licensed spectrum. In this model, a user can get assigned a certain range of spectrum, for the time that they need it, the place that they need it and it is protected allowing them to build networks on it without having to acquire a license. Federated Wireless continues to work on the definition of the spectrum with several organizations, however, there are a few models in test now: •    In the home •    In the office •    Hot spot deployments in outdoor malls •    Hospitals •    Universities When included in a laptop, private 4G networks can be established and managed by the enterprise customer. This is another means to provide more control at the local level and offload the internet of some of the heavy lifting.
