Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
To conduct for a limited period the operations described in the request.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Testing Bluetooth and Wi-Fi protocols and performance within an integrated access point as part of a fiber residential gateway. Google Fiber seeks to test Bluetooth and Wi-Fi protocols and performance (including coordination of Wi-Fi channels between devices and in the presence of foreign signals) within an integrated access point as part of a fiber residential gateway. This line of testing will reveal real world engineering issues and reliability. The planned testing is not directed at evaluating the radio frequency characteristics of the equipment (which are known), but rather at the throughput and stability of the home networks that will support the equipment, as well as its basic functionality. Testing may lead to design modifications intended to maximize product robustness and user experience. Utilizing the requested number of units in a residential setting will allow testing of real world network performance, so that any problems can be discovered and addressed promptly. All devices will be used by and registered to specific individuals, and Google Fiber will maintain a record of each device, so that they can be easily recalled at any time during testing and when testing is complete.
