Federated Wireless

aid: federated-wireless
name: Federated Wireless
description: 'Federated Wireless, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, is a shared- and unlicensed-spectrum
  coordination company. It is one of the FCC-certified CBRS Spectrum Access System (SAS) administrators for the 3.5 GHz band,
  operates a nationwide Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC) network, and is one of the seven 6 GHz Automated Frequency
  Coordination (AFC) systems the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology approved for commercial operation in February 2024.
  Its cloud-native platform — the Spectrum Controller, the Automated Network Planner (ANP) and the Spectrum AI physical-AI
  platform announced in June 2026 — assigns, monitors and optimizes spectrum for carriers, broadband providers, enterprises
  running private 5G/LTE, and government agencies. The programmable surface is real but almost entirely private: the regulated
  SAS-CBSD (WInnForum WINNF-TS-0016) and 6 GHz AFC device interfaces run on hosts that refuse public connections, and the
  Spectrum Controller''s external SAS, IAM and KPI/analytics APIs are AWS API Gateway endpoints that return 403 to every anonymous
  request. Federated Wireless publishes no developer portal, no API reference and no machine-readable contract. The one openly
  discoverable agent surface is a remote Model Context Protocol server on federatedwireless.ai, advertised through RFC 8414
  and RFC 9728 metadata, which fronts the company''s WordPress content estate rather than its spectrum platform.'

  description: The external API of the Federated Wireless Spectrum Controller, the cloud platform that manages CBRS spectrum
    assignment, CBSD lifecycle, monitoring and compliance. The Spectrum Controller web application calls it as SAS_EXTERNAL_URL.
    Federated Wireless describes the surface on its CBRS product page as "vendor extensions and other APIs" for real-time
    analytics and KPI reporting, a Deregistration API for integrating SAS cost management into customer workflows, OEM onboarding
    and integration, and a common management interface for multi-OEM deployments. No reference documentation, OpenAPI definition
    or operation list is published; the endpoint returns HTTP 403 MissingAuthenticationTokenException to anonymous callers.

  name: SAS-CBSD Interface
  description: The regulated Spectrum Access System to CBSD protocol interface Federated Wireless operates as an FCC-certified
    SAS administrator. The protocol — registration, spectrum inquiry, grant, heartbeat, relinquishment and deregistration
    — is defined by Wireless Innovation Forum WINNF-TS-0016 and FCC 47 CFR Part 96, not by Federated Wireless; the company
    implements it and markets a "Deregistration API" from it. The interface is mutual-TLS and restricted to registered CBSD
    operators, so it is not reachable from the public internet and no contract is published.

    the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology approved seven AFC systems for commercial operation, Federated Wireless among
    them, covering U-NII-5 (5.925-6.425 GHz) and U-NII-7 (6.525-6.875 GHz) for standard-power access points and fixed client
    devices. The availableSpectrumInquiry request/response contract is defined by the WInnForum AFC System to AFC Device interface
    specification, not by Federated Wireless. The endpoint is restricted to certified devices and proxies and is not reachable
    from the public internet.

  name: Federated Wireless MCP Server
  description: A remote Model Context Protocol server published on federatedwireless.ai, advertised through RFC 8414 OAuth
    authorization-server metadata and RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. It is not announced in any Federated Wireless
    documentation or MCP registry — it was found by probing /.well-known/*. The server fronts the Federated Wireless WordPress
    content estate (marketing site, product pages, blog, press releases), not the Spectrum Controller or the spectrum platform.
    Authorization is OAuth 2.1 authorization-code with PKCE (S256), a single `mcp` scope, public clients (token_endpoint_auth_method
    none) and client-ID metadata documents. tools/list is authenticated — an anonymous JSON-RPC call returns 401 mcp_unauthorized
    with a spec-correct RFC 9728 challenge — so the live tool schemas require an authorized session.
