                        PARTICULARS _OF OPERATION


     Astronet Corporation      ("Astronet")      proposes to use 824 to 849

MHz and 869 to 894 MHz for its proposed experimental cellular

communications cell at its Lake Mary, Florida facility.               The

proposed experimental license is similar in most respects to an

experimental license previously granted to Astronet by the

Federal Communications Commission         ("FCC" or "Commission")     on

December 1,   1985.   See FCC File No.      1138—EX—R—85.

     The proposed experimental cell will utilize two bandwidths.

Its mobile transmitter will use the 824 to 849 MHz bandwidth, and

its base station will use the 869 to 894 MHz bandwidth.             With

regardad to the 824 to 849 MHz requested bandwidth,         the technical

specifications are as follows:

     (1)   Maximum R.F. output power at the transmitter terminal:

           3 watts

     (2)   Maximum effective radiated power from the antenna:               6

           abw

     (3)   MEAN
     (4)   Emission type:      40KOF8W (voice); 40KOF1D (data)
     (5)   Modulation   (frequency deviation of carrier):         3kHz

           (voice);   10 kHz   (data)    at 10 kbits per second

     (6)   Necessary bandwidth:         40 kHz

    With regard to the 869 to 894 MHz requested bandwidth,               the

technical specifications are as follows:


                                                         FCC Form 442
                                                         Item 4
                                                         PpPage 2

     (1)   Maximum R.F. output power at the transmitter terminal:

           20 watts

     (2)   Maximum effective radiated power from the antenna:                 100

           watts

     (3)   MEAN

     (4)   Emission type:          40KOFS8W (voice); 40KOFID (data)

     (5)   Modulation (frequency deviation of carrier):               3 kHz

           (voice);   10 kHz       (data)    at 10 kbits per second

     (6)   Necessary bandwidth:             40 kHz

     With regard to both requested frequencies,             the necessary

bandwidth was determined by the following formula, which applies

to a transmitter employing frequency modulation:

                  B = 2M + 2DK

                  Where:    M = Maximum modulation frequency in Hz

                               D     Peak frequency deviation in Hz

                               K     Variable factor typically equal to 1

     Here, M = 10,000 Hz and D = 10,000 Hz.             The maximum

modulation value is provided above.             The peak frequency deviation

value is determined by adding the 2,000 Hz required to transmit

the supervisory audio tone and the 8,000 Hz required for voice

transmissions.     Solving the above formula for B results in a

value of 40,000 Hz, which equals 40 kHZz necessary bandwidth.

                                EXHIBIT 2

                  NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION_OF EXPERIMENT


        Astronet Corporation   ("Astronet")    requests the Federal

Ccommunications Commission ("FCC" or "Commission") to grant it an

experimental license for the use of 824 to 849 MHz and 869 to 894

MHz to operate a one—cell cellular communications system for

producd
      t evelopment.
    | Astronet was granted a similar experimental license on

December 1,    1985 in connection with applications for experimental

licenses to operate a three—cell cellular communications system

for product development at Lake Mary,         Orlando and Lake Buena

Vista,    all in Florida.   See Licenses for Station KO2XFT,     Lake

Mary,    Florida; Station KO2XFW,   Orlando,   Florida;   Station KO2XFV

Lake Buena Vista, Florida.      The instant request involves a cell

only at the Lake Mary, Florida location.

        Astronet proposes to use the experimental license to operate

a cellular communications system to/;est new products developed

at its Lake Mary,    Florida facility and to demonstrate system

equipment to its prospective consumers, which are cellular

carriers.     The cellular products Astronet proposes to test have

been in development for more than a year.         Astronet‘s primary

research focus is to refine its analog system equipment, such as

the mobile telephone switching office ("MTSO") and cell site


                                           FCC Form 442
                                           Item 10

equipment, via miniaturization,    the incorporation of new

technology,    and general performance improvement.

      Astronet proposes to conduct system tests in order to

optimize systenm hardware and software, and to test service

offerings.     The product testing otherwise available to Astronet

inside a laboratory is limited.     Only testing conducted outdoors

in an experimental cellular system enables Astronet to simulate

actual consumer conditions with its products.       Without an

experimental license, Astronet would be unable to verify the

actual operation of its new equipment.     The testing proposed as

part of the instant experimental license constitutes the final

step in bringing Astronet‘s improved cellular system equipment to

the marketplace.

     The mobile units involved in the proposed cellular systenm

will be used only by employees of Astronet and its affiliates.

No members of the general public will use the proposed systenm,

and no service for hire will be provided.     Astronet will be

responsible for all aspects of system operation as well as

compliance with FCC rules and the terms of the experimental

authorization.

     Astronet requests that the station identification
requirement of Section 5.152 of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R.

§ 5.152    (1992), be waived and that a station call sign need not

be transmitted after each complete transmission or every thirty

minutes.     The system equipment in the proposed cell will function


                                           FPCC Form 442
                                           Item 10
                                           Page 3

in a manner similar to other cellular radio equipment, which

normally does not provide station identification on a periodic

basis.

     To ensure that Astronet‘s proposed experimental cellular

system will not interfere with existing cellular operators in the

area, Astronet already has engaged in negotiations with the

potentially affected cellular licensees.     The parties have

determined and all agree that Astronet‘s proposed operations at

the requested frequencies will not interfere with existing

cellular service.   As an additional safequard, Astronet has

agreed to suspend operation of its experimental cell on an

emergency basis in the event that interference occurs.

     Consequently, Astronet respectfully requests the FCC to

grant its application for an experimental license because the

tests conducted in an experimental cellular system are the only

means available for Astronet to verify the actual operation of

its refined cellular system equipment before that equipment can

be introduced into the marketplace.
