Mark Gibson—Sr. Director, Regulatory & Policy—recently participated in an EPRI workshop in lessons learned so far from the AFC Public Trial phase.
The purpose of the workshop was to discuss lessons learned from AFC Public Trials, and what it means for the future with Standard Power unlicensed devices. Participants included EPRI members and AT&T, both of whom submitted the majority of the cases to AFCs for the Public Trial. We were the only AFC. Many of EPRI’s members who participated in the workshop were complimentary about our AFC Public Trial results to cases submitted, saying that our results were easy to understand, friendly and intuitive. One EPRI member also mentioned our work to help them correct their data in ULS.
