Re:    OET – Experimental License Application – Informal Objection
       Applicant:          Georgia Institute of Technology
       FCC File Numbers: 0871-EX-ST-2016
       Filing Date:        June 15, 2016
       Band Objection:     10700 – 11000 MHz


Dear Sir,

Comsearch protects the microwave systems of over 100 FCC licensees in the Atlanta area with
licensed and operating 11 GHz point-to-point microwave paths. A review of the referenced FCC
Experimental Application finds hundreds of severe interference cases into these paths based on the
proposed operating characteristics and the extremely high ERP. We have included a small sample of
the potential cases found for reference – the numerous other cases are very similar in margin and
severity of impact.

We strongly request that the 10700 – 11000 MHz band be removed from this proposed operation to
avoid the severe interference impact on licensed and operating paths. The licensees cover
telecommunications, public safety, critical infrastructure, and many other users.

If you have any questions, or require additional information, please don’t hesitate to call me on (703)
726-5656 or contact me by email at dmeyer@comsearch.com

Sincerely,
COMSEARCH
