Key Bridge Secures FCC ESC Sensor and Commercial Ops Approvals in 3.5 GHz Band
McLean, VA – Key Bridge Wireless LLC today announced that the Federal Communications Commission has approved multiple milestones for its Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC) in the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band, clearing the path for commercial operations.
Throughout 2020, the FCC granted Key Bridge approvals for updated ESC operational plans (July 14), additional sensor deployment details, sensor registrations (December 17), and authorization to commence commercial ESC operations (December 21), all under GN Docket No. 15-319.
These approvals enable Key Bridge’s ESC network to provide real-time incumbent protection for federal radar systems along U.S. coastlines and key inland areas, while supporting dynamic spectrum access for Priority Access License (PAL) holders and General Authorized Access (GAA) users.
“This series of approvals represents a major step toward full commercial deployment of CBRS,” said Jesse Caulfield, CEO of Key Bridge Wireless. “We’re proud to contribute to an ecosystem that is already delivering innovative private networks and enhanced connectivity, in line with the OnGo Alliance’s certification and commercialization efforts.”
Key Bridge continues to collaborate with Spectrum Access System administrators, device manufacturers, and the OnGo Alliance to ensure seamless, interference-free operations as CBRS adoption accelerates.
