T-Mobile has changed tack on its support for multi-operator core network (MOCN) neutral-host 4G and 5G enterprise systems in CBRS spectrum in the US. Without withdrawing support completely, it has directed its neutral-host vendor partners – notably, Celona, InfiniG, and IONX – to “prioritize” its licensed mid-band spectrum, mostly at 2.5 GHz, plus at 1.9 GHz, for new shared infrastructure projects. Otherwise, it will continue to offer some selective support for CBRS deployments, it said.

It reiterated the line about the superiority of carrier-licensed spectrum, versus shared frequency bands like CBRS, on the grounds of better network performance, and suggested rising 5G traffic makes it the best way to deliver reliable and performant cellular connectivity. “We continue to support CBRS-bas
