Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
3G Wireless, LLC requests that the
Commission grant it temporary authority to operate on the frequencies centered at 2206MHZ,
2216MHz, 2226MHz, 2236MHz, 2246MHz, 2256MHz, 2266MHz, 2276MHz, 2286MHz and 2296MHz with
an 8MHz bandwidth on March 27-28, 2020 and April 9-11, 2020 with intermittent usage. As explained
below, 3G Wireless, LLC is filing an STA request for the Live Television Transmission of ESPN NCAA
Hockey Northeast regionals at DCU Center in Worcester, MA and the NCAA Frozen four tournament at
Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI. 3G Wireless, LLC submits that there are extraordinary circumstances
warranting a grant of the STA request. ESPN has contracted 3G Wireless, LLC to provide the necessary
microwave for the Live Transmission of this event. Due to the extreme frequency congestion in the
Worcester, MA and Detroit, MI area, coupled with the added congestion from traditional television and
news coverage of the special event, 3G Wireless requests the use of channels in the 2202- 2300MHz
telemetry band. 3G Wireless, LLC certifies that the operation of the requested channels for the purposes
specified herein will not cause interference to any established stations.
