Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: Alcatel-Lucent ALU hereby files this Experimental Application to allow ALU to operate non FCC Certified LTE 3GPP Band Class 38 TDD radio equipment off of a single sector location within the BRS/EBS licensed markets listed in the in Table 1 of the Description of Proposed Experimental Operation attachment. ALU will be using only the BRS/EBS channels that fall between 2570 MHz to 2620 MHz (i.e. EBS A4, B4, C4, D4 , G5; BRS E4 F4; Guard blocks J K) as part of a Long Term Evolution wireless field trial and demonstration lasting approximately 3 months. The use of non FCC Certified LTE Band 38 TDD radio equipment is critical to the wireless deployment testing to help commercial and educational rural entities in Virginia make a determination on the feasibility and need for the deployment of next generation wireless services in rural areas using BRS/EBS spectrum assets. The use of commercial 3GPP LTE Band 38 TDD is being requested due to 3GPP LTE Band 41 commercial radio equipment not yet being available. 3GPP LTE Band Class 38 falls within or can be described as a subset to 3GPP LTE Band Class 41 and is commercially deployed today in Asia. See “Description of Proposed Experimental Operation” attachment for further details.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

LTE demonstration Grant of this experimental authorization is in the public interest as it will allow Alcatel-Lucent, who will be conducting the trial, to demonstrate to rural wireless providers the benefits of LTE technology in the BRS/EBS bands. This technology, if deployed in rural parts of Virginia, will provide high speed data to rural underserved and unserved areas. The FCC, grant of this experimental license will not harm existing licensed carriers or operators. See “Description of Proposed Experimental Operation” attachment for further details.

Certification

Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.
