Hub Wars: MWC, 5G, CBRS, IoT home integration, Arris' Ruckus makes a ruckus
Sequans and VZW get an early start, and Ruckus confirms the strategy before MWC.

Recall our general disappointment with the new VZW SmartHub using Sequans for LTE-A when it included WiFi, Bluetooth and Z-Wave/NEST but not CBRS.
I posted the question about a software upgrade unlocking the 3.5Ghz band since the Sequans chip is already certified on 3.5Ghz - all it needed was the hardware antenna capability or an external port to plug in the needed antenna as so many other modems and routers also have external antenna ports.

Today in the lead into MWC, Ruckus makes a ruckus about its own hub strategy using CBRS.

Ruckus Revels in IoT & CBRS at MWC MARI SILBEY, Senior Editor, Cable/Video 2/21/2018 This is a big year for Ruckus at Mobile World Congress. Not only is it the first time the subsidiary company is appearing at the show since being acquired by Arris, but Ruckus is also making major product announcements in two important emerging areas of wireless technology: industrial IoT and Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS)... The company's new solution set includes IoT modules that can be attached to select Ruckus WiFi access points... Ruckus's IoT strategy is similar to what drives IoT hub use cases in a smart home... Supporting the 3.5GHz CBRS band, these access points are paired with Ruckus cloud services and designed to make deploying LTE more like implementing a WiFi network ...

Now we need to hear from VZW about that software upgrade and external antenna.
Here's hoping.
