Re:      Application of Alcatel-Lucent for Temporary Spectrum Use


Dear Ms. Dortch:

       The Public Safety Spectrum Trust Corporation (“PSST”) hereby provides its
consent to Alcatel-Lucent’s application for an experimental special temporary
authority (“Experimental STA”) regarding its proposed temporary operation in the
PSST’s 700 MHz band spectrum to demonstrate Long Term Evolution (“LTE”)
equipment in the City of San Diego, California for use at the 35th Annual IACP Law
Enforcement Information Management (“LEIM”) Training Conference and Exposition
between June 11, 2011 and June 16, 2011, as described in more detail below. The
PSST understands that the demonstration operation planned would conform to the
following parameters:

1) Operation will be confined to the immediate vicinity of the Hilton San Diego
Bayfront Hotel in the City of San Diego, California. The equipment would include a
base station and associated antennae 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) Alcatel-Lucent has requested authority from the FCC to operate over the 763-
768/793-798 MHz band, which is currently licensed on a nationwide basis to the PSST
as part of the 700 MHz Public Safety Broadband License.

3) Operation will occur between June 11, 2011, and June 16, 2011, allowing time
during that period for setup and testing, demonstrations, and teardown.

4) We understand that Alcatel-Lucent has analyzed information from the FCC’s license
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. Alcatel-Lucent has also told us that they found no active public safety

licenses authorized to operate in the San Diego, California area on frequencies which
are co-channel to those proposed in the STA request.

       Given the above information, the PSST concurs with Alcatel-Lucent’s
proposed operation on certain frequencies currently licensed to the PSST as part of
the 700 MHz Public Safety Broadband License for purposes of demonstrating LTE
equipment at the IACP LEIM Conference in San Diego, California.

This consent is subject to the PSST’s ongoing ability to monitor any operations and
use of the PSST’s licensed spectrum.

Respectfully submitted,
