                 FedEx 3550—3650 MHz Experiment Proposal


1    Introduction
FedEx (NYSE:FDX) is an American multinational courier delivery services company headquartered
in Memphis, Tennessee. With networks that span billions of people across six continents, delivering
is our business. It‘s also our responsibility to deliver the resources that improve the lives of those
we serve.

When we help businesses access new markets, they grow and create jobs that boost standards of
living in their communities. Investments in safer and more sustainable transportation improve our
own footprint and make our communities more livable. A more connected world sparks innovation
when shared ideas, goods and technologies interact to transform how welive and work.

We believe a connected world is a prosperous and sustainable world. And we aim to deliver that
forward. For more information please visit our website: https:/faboutvan.FedEx.com/



2    Experiment Description
FedEx is working with its partner company Nokia to evaluate and trial a private LTE system
operating in the frequency range of 3550—3650 MHz to establish its suitability to support operations
at the FedEx Superhub located in Memphis, Tennessee.

This trial will consist of up to 4 fixed site base stations and will be located inside the geographical
region described in Section 2. Note: thistrial area is outside the exclusion zone defined by
NTIA (TR—15—517r1).     Up to 40 mobile devices will operate within the areas of the fixed base
stations. All base station equipment is prototype hardware, controlled and owned by NOKIA and will
be removed after the conclusion of the trial. The intent is to operate the LTE uplink/downlink 24
hours per day 7 days per week.

The main objectives of this trial are to prove that private LTE over CBRS can be used as superior
mobile connectivity technology for increasing our enterprise operations efficiency, improving our
technician safety and enhancing overall communications quality which contributes to the general
acceptance and broader usage of this mobile technology.

3        Transmitter Information
Up to 5— 20 MHz LTE RF channels per base station will be operated within the requested frequency
range at any one time

The maximum EIRP for mobile and fixed sites is listed in Table 1. The fixed sites support MIMO
and the defined poweris the maximum radiated powerfor an individual antenna. A directional
antenna may be used but it‘s listed as OMNI to not restrict orientation

Table 2 defines the deployment radiuses whereall fixed cell sites will be located duringtesting
period
