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.
Federated Wireless publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Spectrum, CBRS, Wireless, and Telecommunications.
Federated Wireless’ developer surface includes developer portal, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 25 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Telecommunications regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

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.

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.

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.
