Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Alcatel-Lucent requests that the Federal Communications Commission (?FCC?) grant an experimental special temporary authority (?Experimental STA?) for use of the public safety spectrum in Naperville, Illinois using the Public Safety Broadband Licensee (?PSBL?) spectrum to demonstrate Long Term Evolution (?LTE?) equipment beginning on October 1st and ending on April 1, 2011. The demonstration and subsequent trial network will show LTE broadband capabilities that will ultimately protect the life, health, or property of first responders and the citizens of Naperville.

Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
1. Operation will be confined to the immediate vicinity of Naperville, Illinois. The Naperville police in conjunction with Alcatel-Lucent seek to build an LTE public safety customer evaluation lab that will provide first responders with infrastructure to evaluate applications that will enhance their daily work experience. The equipment will include two base stations and associated antennas located at the demonstration site, along-with a small number of portable units operating at no more than 1.5 kilometers from the base site. 2. We are requesting authority from the FCC to operate over the 758-768/788-798 MHz band, which is currently licensed on a nationwide basis to the PSST and is unlicensed D block spectrum. 3. Operation will occur between October 1 ? April 1, 2011, allowing time during that period for setup and testing, demonstrations, and teardown. 4. Alcatel-Lucent has analyzed information from the FCC?s ULS databases and has determined that the proposed operation would not interfere or create a significant potential for interference with any public safety operations in the 700 MHz band. Specifically, we found no active public safety licenses authorizing operation in the Naperville, Illinois area on frequencies which are co-channel to those proposed in this STA request.
