Sherwood is committed to moving the network forward. The CBRS Trade-Up Program under SIP 139 has concluded, and legacy CBRS radios have been sunset in favor of modern Sherwood Hotspots. Here is everything owners need to know.
As of February 28, 2025, the CBRS Trade-Up Program has officially concluded. Legacy CBRS radios no longer earn rewards on the Sherwood Network, and the program that let owners trade their radios for Wi-Fi Hotspots is closed.
If you still have questions about your CBRS hardware or the transition, our support team is here to help.
Answers for CBRS radio owners during and after the transition.
Legacy CBRS radios continued to operate and earn rewards through February 28, 2025. After that date, CBRS support on the Sherwood Network was retired and radios no longer earn rewards. The hardware itself will still power on, but it no longer participates in the network.
No action is required from a network standpoint — the radio is simply retired. If you want to keep contributing to coverage, a current-generation Sherwood Hotspot (Kestrel K1 or K2 indoor, Meridian M1 or Northwind N1 outdoor) is the recommended path forward.
No. Once the sunset date passed, SAS subscriptions for legacy CBRS radios were discontinued. If you see an unexpected SAS charge, reach out to support and we will help you sort it out.
Yes. Your legacy Kestrel gateway continues to operate as a fully functional Sherwood Hotspot for IoT and Wi-Fi coverage. Only the CBRS radio side was sunset; the gateway itself remains part of the network.
The program covered CBRS radios purchased from Kestrel and other approved vendors participating in SIP 139. Because the program has ended, new trade-up requests are no longer being accepted.
Trade-up orders placed before the program closed are being fulfilled in the order they were received. You can check your order status in the Sherwood Console, or contact support with your order number for a specific estimate.
Current-generation Sherwood Hotspots deliver more coverage and more rewards than the legacy CBRS radios they replaced. See what the forest looks like today.
