SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The CBRS Alliance today announced the nine categories for the inaugural 2020 OnGo Awards. The 2020 OnGo Awards program aims to recognize CBRS Alliance member and non-member companies across the OnGo ecosystem, ranging from device manufacturers to network operators to managed service providers, for their real-world use cases of OnGo technology.

The CBRS Alliance has a major mission to share as many real-world OnGo deployment stories as possible. The OnGo Awards will allow us to accomplish that goal,” said Alan Ewing, Executive Director of the CBRS Alliance. “We’re looking to raise awareness for the impact that OnGo technology will have on the wireless market and we look forward to continuing this award program for years to come.”
