This article provides a review of the Citizen Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) and its characteristics. It also describes the Spectrum Access System, which allows the bands not used by primary users to be intelligently occupied by secondary users to optimize this resource. As a rule, CBRS operates between 3550 MHz and 3700 MHz to allow users’ connectivity from different operators in high-traffic locations. Using Neutral Hosts minimizes the installation and operation costs of the Advanced Mobile Service’s operators. CBRS also functions as a private LTE network with several advantages over other wireless network technologies. This innovative proposal marks a milestone in shifting from fixed allocation of the radio spectrum to dynamic controlled access, enabling connectivity to a wide range of wireless devices.
