WASHINGTON, Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Wireless Innovation Forum (WInnForum) announced today approval of Compliance Certification Services as a WInnForum approved CBRS CBSD certification test lab. The list with such approval now stands at more than 15 organizations from around the world.

To become FCC certified to operate in the CBRS Band, an equipment manufacturer is required to show that their Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device (CBSD) can communicate with a Spectrum Access System (SAS) and follow its directives per FCC Part 96. WInnForum developed the baseline standards supporting SAS to CBSD communication (WINNF-TS-0016). In addition, WInnForum CBRS Test and Certification Task Group developed a test specification (WINNF-TS-0122) and finalized a test harness supporting that standard.

WInnForum facilitates CBSD certification testing, as requested by its members, for all organizations, both member and non-member, against this test specification by accrediting FCC approved test labs to run the WInnForum CBSD tests. The entire list of WInnForum approved CBSD Test and Certification Labs can be found here: https://cbrs.wirelessinnovation.org/cbsd-certification-program.
