Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Parallel Wireless, Inc., is an innovative company developing next-generation 3G, 4G, and 5G radio access networks. Parallel Wireless previously submitted STA Application No. 0339-EX-ST-2017 (the Previous Application). The Previous Application was requested for various statewide locations within New Hampshire. The application was dismissed without prejudice, on May 3, 2017. Specifically, FirstNet objected to the area of operation across New Hampshire, due to any possible impact to operations in the adjacent Massachusetts area. Parallel Wireless now submits this STA application, excluding the operating area from Hillsboro, Rockingham, and Cheshire counties, the counties abutting Massachusetts. Parallel Wireless, in cooperation with first responder agencies and the State of New Hampshire, would like to provide a mobile Band 14 LTE Demo for Public Safety First Responders. The Parallel Wireless equipment comprises LTE eNodeB base stations. Testing of the base stations will entail Band 14 capable handsets connecting to the base stations in their typical operating environment. This application is for activities on LTE Band 14.

Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The purpose of operation is radio testing of Parallel Wireless hardware and software, in real-world environments. The testing will allow for further development of a vehicle network system solution, inspired by the Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) concept, for a virtual network system (VNS). The project team will conduct a testing tour throughout New Hampshire. The testing will be supported by devices and applications operating through a Band 14 eNodeB/EPC, in a portable deployment scenario. Performing these tests on a daily basis for the proposed operation dates will provide the opportunity to test the equipment operation in different scenarios, overcome various network and data application-based obstacles, and in heavy RF intensive environments. Parallel Wireless hardware was used for a similar exercise with the Oklahoma Public Safety Broadband Network, across the state of Oklahoma. Further information about the Oklahoma Public Safety Broadband Network exercise may be found under File No. 1611-EX-ST-2016. There is no commercial activity or mission-critical telecommunication support being provided as part of this demonstration. Rather, the demonstration is proof-of-concept. We welcome any comments or questions from the Commission, either to Michael Saji, Director, I.P., and Corporate Counsel at msaji@parallelwireless.com, or to Steve Kropper, VP of Business Development, at skropper@parallelwireless.com.
