- 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)

for a SAS customer. A SAS customer is a company that has a direct commercial contract with
Google for SAS services.
