- Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device (CBSD): A physical device that can transmit in
the CBRS band after it receives authorization from a SAS. Examples include a cell phone base
station or an eNodeB.
- CBSD grant status: Grants have one of the following states: granted, authorized,
suspended, or terminated.
- CBSD ID: The unique identifier for a CBSD. It's composed of the CBSD’s FCC ID and
serial number.
- Spectrum Access System (SAS): A cloud service that controls the operating parameters
of CBSDs to ensure the protection of higher-priority users.
- Certified Professional Installer (CPI): The person who validates the installation
parameters of certain types of CBSDs and provides them to a SAS. The SAS validates this
person's CPI identity and certification before they're allowed to provide CBSD installation
parameters.
- Customer account (Customer): The resource under which all other resources are created
for a SAS customer. A SAS customer is a company that has a direct commercial contract with

Each CBSD has a unique ID (FCC ID and serial number) and is operated by a user with a User ID. The SAS manages CBSD grants, which can be granted, authorized, suspended, or terminated. A Certified Professional Installer (CPI) validates certain CBSD installations. SAS customers are entities with contracts for SAS services, using a customer account to manage resources.\n"]]
