Citizens Broadband Radio Service Radio frequency band between 3.5 GHz and 3.7 GHz that can be used for 5G, 4G or LTE communication. The FCC has recently opened these band to general use. Learn more about CBRS

CDMA

CUPS

Control Plane User Plane Separation – Facilitates cellular operators to reduce data-center costs by hosting the control plane and the user plane in different geographic locations and to save transmission costs. The control system tells the data where to go, and the user plane/data plane/forwarding plane actually moves the data.
