Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The proposed testing requires Special Temporary Authority because it would include: 1) terrestrial use of the 2483.5-2500 MHz Mobile Satellite Service band currently assigned for use by Globalstar Inc.; 2) the use of an intentional radiator in the 2473-2483.5 MHz unlicensed band that has not received an equipment authorization as ordinarily required under 47 C.F.R. § 15.201; and 3) the proposed operations would span the 2473-2483.5 MHz unlicensed band and the adjacent 2483.5-2500 MHz band and would therefore not comply with the emissions limits required by 47 C.F.R. §§ 15.205 & 15.209.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Microsoft seeks to quantify the affect of such operations on the performance and reliability of unlicensed operations in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Microsoft will test terrestrial operations in the 2473-2483.5 MHz unlicensed band and the adjacent 2483.5-2500 MHz band, consistent with Globalstar Inc.s proposal to operate a terrestrial low-power service on these frequencies nationwide (see IB docket no. 13-213). Microsoft seeks to quantify the affect of such operations on the performance and reliability of unlicensed operations in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
