January 27, 2016 Steve Kropper, VP Parallel Wireless One Tara Boulevard, Suite 404 Nashua, NH 03062 Dear Steve: Thanks for your quick response to our request to provide a Band 14 network at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara and the NFL Experience site at the Embarcadero in San Francisco. Security for the Super Bowl demands access to high-speed data services. However, we know that the existing commercial services available around Levi’s Stadium are not designed for or capable of supporting this mission. A consortium of several public and private entities, including BAYRICS, the FBI and the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (NCRIC), are engaged in critical security and incident response preparations for the Super Bowl 50 at Levi’s Stadium on February 7, 2016. The entities are anticipating your provision of a Band Class 14 LTE network to support these activities. We are relying on you to coordinate all required activities and parties including RF permitting, installation, network management, the EPC, backhaul, handsets and other UE, plus the COW to power and mount your RAN. We are looking to Parallel Wireless as the single point of contact for the various elements required to deliver the Band 14 coverage. We are also relying on you to obtain the Special Temporary Authority from the Federal Communications Commission to conduct these temporary, limited and non-mission critical operations on Band Class 14 within BayRICS’ anticipated area of operation. The Bay Area Regional Interoperable Communications Systems Authority (BayRICS) is a regional Joint Powers Authority representing seven Counties and the three big Cities in the San Francisco Bay Area. BayRICS has conducted significant work toward completion of a wireless broadband network for public safety using 700 MHz Public Safety Broadband and D Block Spectrum (Band Class 14). We appreciate your hard work and support for this key test of public safety broadband. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, _________/s/__________ Barry Fraser General Manager BayRICS Authority Bay Area Regional Interoperable Communication Systems Joint Powers Authority 4985 Broder Blvd., Dublin, CA 94568 (925) 803-7882 ● www.bayrics.net ● bfraser@acgov.org
