Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: Cohda Wireless is planning to demonstrate its prototype wireless local area network equipment to potential partners and customers for a period of 2 months. Cohdas nodes are at the prototype stage of development and will shortly go through a FCC Part 15 compliance process. Cohdas prototype nodes employ commercially available 802.11 RF ICs with a maximum transmit power (measured at the antenna input) of 20 dBm. The maximum EIRP of our nodes is 1 Watt over 16 MHz bandwidth. The grant of this STA will allow Cohda to prove to potential next round investors and partners that Cohda has a significant technical advantage and the progression to full productisation is warranted.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Equipment Demonstration Cohda Wireless is a developer and manufacturer of wireless broadband communications devices for the Public Safety market. Cohda Wireless is seeking to demonstrate its prototype wireless local area network equipment to potential partners and customers in a few sites across the USA. The demonstration is intended to show the performance advantages that the Cohda Wireless nodes can deliver in the ISM, U-NII and 4.9 GHz Public Safety bands. Cohda will achieve this by mounting one of its nodes in a vehicle and another (fixed node) on a building. A broadband connection between the vehicle and the fixed node will then be demonstrated over a range of about 1 mile. Cohda will demonstrate that mobile broadband connectivity can be provided at the low EIRP levels consistent with the above mentioned bands.
