                     Re:        Special Temporary Authorityfor Demonstration at the Association of
                                Public—Safety Communications Officials Conference (APCO 2013)

            Dear Ms. Dortch:

                  Alcatel—Lucent seeks Experimental Special Temporary Authority ("STA") from the
           Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") to use the public safety spectrum in
           the 700 MHz Band 14 to demonstrate Long Term Evolution ("LTE") equipment in Anaheim,
           California in conjunction with the Association of Public—Safety Communications Officials
           (APCO) Conference, which will take place August 18 through August 21, 2013.

                The demonstration will conform to the following parameters:

                1. Operation will be confined to the vicinity of the Anaheim Convention Center 800 W.
                   Katella Avenue, Anaheim, CA 92802. The equipment for these operations will
                     include one base station and associated antenna located at the demonstration site,
                     along—with a maximum of 10 end user devices (portable units) operating at no more
                     than 1.0 kilometers from the base site.

                     Alcatel—Lucent requests authority to operate over the 758—768/788—798 MHz band,
                     which is currently licensed on a nationwide basis to the First Responder Network
                     Authority ("FirstNet").

                  . Operation will occur between August 16. 2013 and August 21. 2013, allowing time
                     for setup and testing, demonstrations, and teardown.

                     This Experimental STA cannot be renewed. To the extent Alcatel—Lucent would like
                     to obtain additional Experimental STA use of the radio frequencies licensed to
                     FirstNet, beyond the period specified above, Alcatel—Lucent must file a separate
                     request with the FCC.

                     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
        Las Vegas area on frequencies that are co—channel to those proposed in this STA
        request.

   6. Temporary operations pursuant to this Experimental STA will not be used in mission—
      critical operations or in the delivery of live transmissions in duties to protect life,
        property, or safety. .

   7. Alcatel—Lucent will work with other conference attendees operating pursuant to STA
      to coordinate sharing spectrum to avoid any interference issues between vendors
        operating in the above specified frequencies.

   8.    The Experimental STA will serve the public interest by providing APCO attendees
        with an opportunity to test and receive an introductory knowledge of the potential
        benefits and capabilities of a Band 14 LTE public safety network.

   For the foregoing reasons, Alcatel—Lucent respectfully requests that the Commission grant
the requested Experimental STA for the purpose of demonstrating LTE equipment at the
APCO Conference.

                                              Respectfully submitted,


                                             *~.__x..

                                              Introduction
