STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER MICHAEL O’RIELLY 
ON THE NEW PROCEDURES FOR 3.5 GHz ESC SENSORS

WASHINGTON, October 16, 2018. – “Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC) systems are a key component to permit sharing and robust use of the 3.5 GHz band (CBRS).  Today’s Public Notice outlining details of the sensor registration procedures for obtaining ESC network certification is one of the last steps before making the band fully operational and open for business.  If all goes well, ESCs could be certified by the end of the year or very early 2019.”
