Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
An experimental license is required for KVH to refine their ESV antenna systems and the accompanying VSAT system parameters during operations. Many of the parameters cannot be effectively simulated in a lab environment. In addition, the live operations will allow KVH to detect and correct problems which were not originally anticipated. The resolution of all potential problems is crucial to the success of this product.

Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Under this authorization, KVH would deploy ten (10) ESV terminals to provide an accurate measure of usage patterns and operational profiles. This information is vital to development of an operational VSAT system by providing bandwidth requirements, hub resources, number of access queues, etc. In addition, network management and terminal operating issues may not manifest themselves with a smaller number of terminals. The demonstrations will operate on an unprotected, non interfering basis.
