Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Flarion requests authorization, pursuant to Section 5.61 of the Commissions Rules, to operate an experimental prototype from May 15,2005 to May 30, 2005. Flarion seeks to operate its equipment, which the Commission has already authorized it to operate on a temporary basis at Lat 36-35-58, Lon 121-45-9, Elev 768. Flarion is seeking STA because the scope and duration of its proposed operation warrant only temporary authority under Part 5 of the Commissions rules.
Flarions request for STA is supported by good cause. Flarion is developing a new broadband mobile data communications system in the 700 MHz band. Flarion has been invited to demonstrate the performance and capabilities of the system before a number of potential customers. Such demonstrations are essential to sales process and highlight the unique advantages of the Flash-OFDM system, and would allow Flarion to receive valuable feedback from potential customers, thus enabling Flarion to continue to make modifications to its system before marketing its device. Flarion relies heavily on the data it generates from the operation of its experimental devices and seeks, by demonstrating its equipment at the trade show, to improve the responsiveness of the unit before committing additional resources to full-scale commercial production.
