TL;DR

• Google is exiting the CBRS SAS administration business.
• CBRS customers using Google’s SAS must move to a different provider by June 10, 2027.
• The change affects organizations that rely on Google to manage access to CBRS spectrum.

Google is ending its role as a Spectrum Access System (SAS), the database and coordination system that manages shared access to Citizens Broadband Radio Service spectrum in the United States. The company told customers they need to transition their CBRS deployments to another SAS administrator.

The deadline Google gave customers is June 10, 2027. After that date, customers using Google’s SAS service will need to have completed migration to a new SAS provider to continue operating under CBRS spectrum coordination rules.

The report states that Google is shutting down its SAS business rather than continuing to administer CBRS spectrum access. The announcement concerns the United States CBRS framework, which uses approved SAS operators to coordinate spectrum use among different users.
