Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
To authorize the construction and operation of a temporary test and demonstration 700 MHz Band 14 LTE network to evaluate the performance of LTE communications in operational and tactical environments.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

The purpose will be to gain information on the construction and operation of LTE Band 14 networks in tactical and operational environments. This will be done by supporting individual and unit communications during a series of exercises conducted as part of the Army Advanced Expeditionary Warfare Experiment.

Is a directional antenna (other than radar) used? Yes
Exhibit submitted: No
(a) Width of beam in degrees at the half-power point: 65.00
(b) Orientation in horizontal plane: 45.00
(c) Orientation in vertical plane:
Will the antenna extend more than 6 meters above the ground, or if mounted on an existing building, will it extend more than 6 meters above the building, or will the proposed antenna be mounted on an existing structure other than a building? Yes
(a) Overall height above ground to tip of antenna in meters: 179.40
(b) Elevation of ground at antenna site above mean sea level in meters: 118.40
(c) Distance to nearest aircraft landing area in kilometers: 1.00
(d) List any natural formations of existing man-made structures (hills, trees, water tanks, towers, etc.) which, in the opinion of the applicant, would tend to shield the antenna from aircraft: The antenna will be mounted on an existing US Army-owned communications tower adjacent to the McKenna/Leyte Heliport within the confines of Ft. Benning. The top of the antenna will be mounted so as to not extend beyond the highest point on the tower and will thus present no additional hazard to aircraft. The McKenna/Leyte Heliport is only used by US Army aircraft in training missions, and pilots are aware of the presence of the existing tower.
