The CBRS Alliance held an event this week to celebrate the start of initial commercial deployments for Citizens Broadband Radio Services (CBRS). An analyst from New Street Research attended the event and handily summarized the three key uses cases for CBRS.

First, the spectrum will be used for wireless capacity deployments over small cells in dense urban markets, and this will result in the biggest impact from CBRS, writes New Street Research analyst Spencer Kurn.

He noted that Verizon plans to use CBRS solely for additional wireless capacity in dense markets, primarily outdoor.
