This is a request for Experimental License Authorization under Section
5.202 (I) of the regulations for the development of radlo technique,
equipment, operational data or enginesaring data related to an existing or
proposed radio service.

of
The Microcell Live Air Testing program will be a continuous experimental
development program used to develop new and improved radio communication
systems and equipment. The test program will focus primarily upon developing
microcell systems inside buildings that will expand the versatility of Cellular radio
equipment and will improve the spectrum efficiency of Cellular systems. BNR will
closely coordinate testing with the A and B Cellular operators to avoid
interference and to improve the next generation of Cellular equipment.

  Frequencies Used

  Initially BNR plans to test on the following Cellular frequencies:
  877.110 MHz —— Channel #237
  877.740 MHz —— Channel #258
  878.370 MHz —— Channel #279
  879.000 MHz —— Channel #300
  890.340 MH2z —~— Channel # 678
  890.970 MH2z —— Channe! # 699
  869.550 MHz —— Channel # 1008

  The testing program will not use more than seven (7) Cellular channels during
  any period of time. However as the Dallas area Cellular A and B opserators
  may need to revise spectrum usage for their customer needs from time to time,
  BNR seeks authority to test in the Cellular spectrum in the following ranges;
  824 to 849 MHz and 869 to 894 MHz.

  Maximum R.F. Output

  The maximum R.F. output of portable transmitters will not exceed the power
  limitation for commercially available celtular phones, being six hundred (600)
  milliwatts. All portable transmitters used in the testing program will transmit
  with power of six (6) milliwatt (7.8d48m) or less.

  Base station maximum output is 1W at the transmitter. Maximum ERP at
  antenna will be 12d8m.

  The radio signal strength from base station emissions measured 100 moters
  outside the building shall be —95dBm or less.

The Test location is on the East side of U.S. Highway 75 (a/k/a Central
Expressway). There are numerous office buildings (whose total heights above
sea level are higher than the maximum height of antennas to be used in the
test) that are located between the test sight and the nearest aircraft landing
area. Further natural formations and trees between the test sight and the
nearest aircraft landing area will tend to shield the antenna from aireraft and
minimize the aeronautical hazard to aircraft.

BNR INC. is the Research and Development Subsidiary of Northern Telecom,
which is one of the largest manufacturers of telscommunication equipment in the
World. As part of the world wide development of enhanced telecommunication
equipment the Richardson laboratory is Initiating an in—depth testing program to
develop microcell equipment that will use traditional cellular frequencies, for
inbuilding, low—power cellular uses and operation. Microcell development can
increase the versatility of Cellular equipment for the general population and can
increase the spectrum efficiency of equipment using the frequency channelis
allocated to the A and B cellular providers in the United States.

                    will test in—building, low—power, microcell systems for radios
operating in the current cellular spectrum bands. The program will include
in—depth testing of the following three major areas for microcell systems:

             1) Inbuilding RF propagation for the United States Cellular spectrum.
             2) Coexistence of inbuilding, low—power, transmissions with the existing
                Celico Macroceil systems.
             3) Oetermination of spectrum re—use factors tor Microceli applications.

The testing will be conducted entirely within the new 1,000,000 sq. ft. BNR/NT
complex located at 2201 and 2221 Lakeside Bivd., Richardson, Texas.

The testing program will initially use the following equipment:
1. NT4O based MTSO switch incliding the Intelligent Cellular Peripherat (ICP)
2. One (1) Cell Site ICRM based Controller
3. Eight (8) NT Radios operating at 1 watt max. The maximum ERP at the
    antenna will be 12d8m.

                                          EXHIBIT NO. 1

     This is a request for Experimental License Authorization under Section
     5.202 (i) of the regulations for the development of radio technique,
     equipment, operational data or engingeering data related to an existing or
     proposed radio service.

     of
     The Microcell Live Air Testing program will be a continuous experimental _
     development program used to develop new and improved radio communication
     systems and equipment. The test program will focus primarily upon developing
     microcel! systems inside buildings that will expand the versatility of Cellular radio
     equipment and will improve the spectrum efficiency of Celiular systems. BNR
     will closely coordinate testing with the A and B Cellular operators to avoid
     interference and to improve the next generation of Cellular equipment.

          Frequencies Used

          Initlally BNR plans to test on the following Cellular frequencies:

          877.110 MHz —— Channel #237
          §77.740 MHz —— Channel #258
          878.370 MHz —— Channel #2798
          879.000 MHz —— Channel #300
          890.340 MHz —— Channel # 678
          890.970 MHz —— Channe!l # 699
          869.550 MHz —— Channe!l # 1008

          As the Oallas area Callular A and B operators may need to revise spectrum
          usage for their customer needs from time to time, BNR seeks authority to
          test in the Cellular spectrum in the following ranges; 824 to 849 MHz and
          869 to 894 MHz.

          Maximum R.F. Output

          All portable transmitters used for the in—building testing program will transmit
          with power of six (6) milliwatt (7.8dBm) or less.

          Base station maximum output is 1W at the transmitter. Maximum ERP at
          antenna will be 12dBm.

  BNR INC. is the Research and Development Subsidiary of Northern Telecom,
 which is one of the largest manufacturers of telecommunication equipment in the
 World. As part of the world wide development of enhanced telecommunication :
 equipment the Richardson laboratory is Initiating an in—depth testing program to
 develop microcell equipment that will use traditional cellular frequencies, for
 inbuilding, low—power cellular uses and operation. Microcell development can
 Increase the versatility of Cellular equipment for the general population and can
 Increase the spectrum efficiency of equipment using the frequency channels
 allocated to the A and B cellutar providers in the United States.
 R&D will test in—building, low—power, microcell systems for radios
 operating in the current cellular spectrum bands. The program will include
 In—depth testing of the following three major areas for mlerocel! systems:

          1) Inbuilding RF propagation for the United States Cellular spectrum.
          2) Cooxistence of inbuilding, low—power, transmissions with the existing
             Cellco Macrocell systems.
          3) Determination of spectrum re—use factors for Microcel! applications.

 The testing will be conducted entirely within the new 1,000,000 sq. ft. ‘BN R/NT
 complex located at 2201 and 2221 Lakeside Bivd., Richardson, Texas.

 The testing program will initially use the following equipment:
 1. Northern Telecom MTSO switch including the Intelligent Cellular Peripheral
 (ICP) and, potentially the Digital Signal Processor Module (DSPM) for testing
 TDMA applications, and the appropriate CDMA equipment as warranted.
 2. One (1) Cell Site ICRM based Controlier
 3. Eight (8) NT Dual Mode Radio Units cperating at 1 watt max. The maximum
     ERP at the antenna will be 12dBm.
 4. Associated celisite equipment :
    +« High stabilility Master Ocsillator, 4.8MHz, providing a stable clock source
         for the radios to synthesize their RF channels.
    + Broadband Transmit Combiner, Isolators, fliters, duplexor
      Receive Multicoupler, splitters and filters
         Cell Site Monitor to monitor presenee of the control channel
         Commercial power supplies

 5. Muttiple Indoor low power antenna locations inside the BNR and NT buildings

 As the test program matures, a variety of commenrcially available cellular
 telephone handsets may be used in the test program.                          |

 program include developing new equipment and techniques for
 microcell systems. The test program will explore methods to provide complete
 inbuilding coverage for users without requiring an excessive number of base
 stations within the building. It is important to test different RF propagation


TLIN as   ‘*S3   a1f:42PM NO TELECOM GOVT REL                                           P. 18218




    environments under different conditions, and characterize the RF propagation
    inside buildings under different conditions. To maximize efficiency it is critical to
    control the spillage of the RF to ensure that the same spectrum can be reused
    within as short of a distance as possible to provide coverage to business offices
    while using as few cellular channels as possible.

   Microcell technology developed from the program will provide economic
   inbuilding services while avoiding conflict with external cellular macrocel!
   systems.

   ofincludes future systems that
   will greatly expand the number of customers that can use the cellular frequencies
   while being served by a system that greatly expands the efficiency and versatility
   of radio communication.
