DESCRIPTION OF RESEARCH PROJECT
CCO Fiberlink, LLC (“Charter”), a limited liability company and subsidiary of Charter
Communications, Inc., seeks a two-year experimental license, beginning July 15, 2017, to test
and evaluate millimeter wave coverage and capacity performance in anticipation of 5G wireless
development. As part of its efforts to lead the industry in broadband innovation, Charter intends
to conduct fixed wireless experiments in the 28 GHz millimeter wave band. The proposed
operations will advance Charter’s understanding of 5G technology and network potential in the
millimeter wave bands and will advance the deployment of 5G fixed and mobile services.
Charter will conduct the proposed test using antennas at several locations in the Bakersfield,
California and Reno, Nevada areas. These experiments will evaluate the 5G frequencies and
technologies for their use in point-to-multipoint access network capacity (e.g., rate versus range)
and data throughput. The ultimate goal of these tests is to research the techniques and efficacy of
fixed wireless broadband solutions in the 5G frequencies. Tests in each location will utilize
fixed transmitters with a 1 km or smaller effective radius. Due to limited use of the requested
band in the proposed locations, Charter does not anticipate that these experiments will cause
harmful interference, and Charter will work closely with the equipment vendor to ensure no
interference occurs.
