GSI‘s temporary operation of the GSM Base Station System will allow a live demonstration of its system to the Department of Homeland Security. Grant of this Request would serve the public interest by facilitating the development and demonstration of technology to be utilized in the support of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Services. GSI respectfully requests that its Request be granted as of the request date of March 28, 2005, so that it can meet the requirements of the demonstration.
