FCC Grants Key Bridge Wireless Conditional ESC Approval in 3.5 GHz Band (GN 15-319)
McLean, VA – Key Bridge Wireless LLC announced today that the Federal Communications Commission has granted the company conditional approval to operate an Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC) system in the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band, as part of GN Docket No. 15-319.
This conditional certification positions Key Bridge Wireless among the first operators authorized to deploy sensors that detect incumbent federal radar systems, enabling dynamic protection of military operations while allowing commercial users to access shared spectrum in the 3550–3700 MHz band.
Key Bridge’s ESC is designed to work in coordination with approved Spectrum Access Systems (SAS) and aligns with standards developed by the Wireless Innovation Forum’s (WInnForum) Spectrum Sharing Committee. The company joins a select group of conditionally approved ESC operators, including Google and CommScope, advancing the multi-stakeholder framework for CBRS.
“This approval marks a significant step forward in realizing the promise of shared spectrum,” said Jesse Caulfield, CEO of Key Bridge Wireless. “Our ESC technology will help ensure incumbent protection while opening the door to innovative wireless services for enterprises, carriers, and new entrants.”
Key Bridge Wireless continues to work closely with the FCC, NTIA, Department of Defense, and industry partners to move toward full commercial deployment of CBRS.
