Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The proposed testing requires Special Temporary Authority because it would include: 1) terrestrial use of the 2483.5-2500 MHz Mobile Satellite Service band currently assigned for use by Globalstar Inc.; 2) the use of an intentional radiator in the 2473-2483.5 MHz unlicensed band that has not received an equipment authorization as ordinarily required under 47 C.F.R. § 15.201; and 3) the proposed operations would span the 2473-2483.5 MHz unlicensed band and the adjacent 2483.5-2500 MHz band and would therefore not comply with the emissions limits required by 47 C.F.R. §§ 15.205 & 15.209.
