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 Pinellas County, Florida using the Public Safety Broadband Licensee (?PSBL?) spectrum to demonstrate Long Term Evolution (?LTE?) equipment beginning on November 1st and ending on November 14, 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 Florida.

Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The demonstration will conform to the following parameters: 1. Operation will be confined to the immediate vicinity of Tropicana Field. Alcatel-Lucent will be demonstrating the LTE network in conjunction with other law enforcement agencies in the Pinellas County area, which would include police, fire and EMS. The equipment would include a base station and associated antenna 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 November 1 ? 14, 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 Pinellas County, Florida area on frequencies that are co-channel to those proposed in this STA request.
