Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: Kymeta is developing a microwave antenna technology that could significantly improve performance and lower costs in commercial deployments. Grant of the experimental license will allow Kymeta to test and demonstrate its technology on a vessel at sea. Please see attached Narrative Statement.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Kymeta will test and demonstrate its antenna technology on a U.S.-flagged container ship traveling between Seattle and Oakland. Kymeta will test and demonstrate its antenna technology on a U.S.-flagged container ship traveling between Seattle and Oakland. The purpose of the test is to demonstrate that the Kymeta beam steering technology and antenna mounted on a mobile platform can track and transmit to a fixed satellite. Please see attached Narrative Statement
