FCC Form 442 Experimental Radio Service Application AirTouch Communications, Inc. Exhibit 1 Page 1 of 1 Exhibit 1 AirTouch Communications, Inc. ("AirTouch"), a holder ofnumerous FCC licenses, seeks FCC approval for a modification ofits Experimental Radio Station WAZXRZ. Specifically, on June 15, 1998, the FCC granted an application by AirTouch (File No. 6146—EX—PL—1998) for a new Experimental Radio Station, operating on 1885 — 1890 MHz throughout the Modesto, CA BTA, in connection with AirTouch‘s testing of certain non—type accepted equipment using portions of the spectrum assigned to the broadband PCS E—Block. The purpose of this modification application is to obtain FCC authorization for the entire broadband PCS E—Block (1965 — 1970 MHz, in addition to the previously authorized 1885 — 1890 MHz portion of the broadband PCS E—Block), as well as to specify base and mobile operations in response to FCC Form 442, Item 5(a).‘ Operation of the experimental program described and proposed herein will involve use of existing antenna structures belonging to the Sacramento—Valley Limited Partnership, the cellular radiotelephone wireline licensee in Modesto, California MSA. AirTouch Communications, Inc., through its wholly—owned subsidiary AirTouch Cellular, is the managing general partner of this licensee.

FCC Form 442 Experimental Radio Service Application AirTouch Communications, Inc. Exhibit 2 Page 1 of 2 Exhibit 2 I. INTRODUCTION AirTouch Communications, Inc.

AirTouch proposes to conduct experiments utilizing the broadband personal communications services ("PCS") E—Block frequencies in the Modesto, CA BTA in order to demonstrate and test transmission equipment supplied by various vendors, some of which has not been type accepted or otherwise approved by the FCC. The purpose of the instant request is to allow AirTouch to evaluate this equipment; AirTouch anticipates that the vendors involved will use data obtained from these experiments to seek such equipment approval as is necessary under applicable provisions of the FCC‘s rules. IL FREQUENCY COORDINATION AirTouch‘s proposed experiments will be conducted in full coordination with other authorized users to ensure that no harmful interference occurs. AirTouch has obtained, or will obtain, frequency coordination for each of the sites it intends to perform

FCC Form 442 Experimental Radio Service Application AirTouch Communications, Inc. Exhibit 2 Page 2 of 2 experiments from, and will not begin experimental operations consistent with the instant application until such efforts are completed and favorable FCC action on this modification application is rendered. AirTouch understands that the experimental use of spectrum is secondary and will discontinue its experimental activity if such activity causes harmful interference. IIL FAA ISSUES Operation of the experimental program described and proposed herein will involve use of existing antenna structures that are currently licensed to the Sacramento— Valley Limited Partnership, the wireline cellular radiotelephone licensee in the Modesto, CA MSA (FCC Market No. 142B).‘ These structures comply with the FAA notification and FCC registration requirements codified in Part 17 of the FCC‘s rules. The experiments proposed herein, moreover, will not involve the construction of any new antenna structures, nor will modifications be required to existing structures that would necessitate new FAA and FCC approval. In sum, grant of the instant request will not raise any FAA or FCC antenna structure issues. ‘AirTouch Communications, Inc. through its wholly—owned subsidiary AirTouch Cellular, is the managing general partner of the Sacramento—Valley Limited Partnership.
