Google to shut down CBRS SAS business by June 10, 2027

Google said it will shut down its Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) Spectrum Access System (SAS) business, and customers must migrate to another SAS provider by June 10, 2027.

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.
