Dave Wright

Dave played an instrumental role in the formation of the CBRS Alliance, collaborating with other founding members to create a robust multi-stakeholder organization focused on the optimization of LTE services in the CBRS band. He served as the Alliance’s first secretary from its launch in August 2016 and was elected as the president of the Alliance in February 2018.

For his “day job,” Dave leads CommScope’s policy and standards initiatives, ensuring the intersection of CommScope technology and product innovations with suitable regulatory environments and technical specifications. Dave is a champion of Open Spectrum, including both unlicensed and coordinated sharing regimes, while acknowledging the vital role that all spectrum management regimes play in our increasingly wireless world.

Dave began his odyssey in networking/telecom/mobile/wireless in the early 90s while serving in the US Marine Corps. He then transitioned to the commercial sector as a systems engineer. In the intervening years he has spent much of his time in technical marketing, standards development, and policy advocacy. Dave is a Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE) Emeritus (#2062) as well as a Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA).
