August 4, 2015 The Federal Communications Commission Form 422 Conf. No.: EL646662 445 12th Street, SW Form 442 File No.: 0496-EX-PL-2015 Washington, DC 20554 Submitted Electronically via ELS To Whom It May Concern: Parallel Wireless, Inc. hereby respectfully submits a request for an experimental license under 47 C.F.R. Part 5 (Experimental Radio Service). This letter is attached to the above- identified application according to FCC Form 422. Parallel Wireless submits this application to operate fixed and mobile Band 14 devices at the site of the Milford Area Communications Center (MACC BASE), Milford, NH. The proposed term is September 1, 2015 to August 31, 2016. Grant of this experimental license application will enable Parallel Wireless to undertake product development, research and testing that supports FirstNet's goal to foster competition in the market for Band 14 network gear. Parallel Wireless has previously submitted, and received, a Special Temporary Authority (STA) license, with file number 1159-EX-ST-2014, for the same devices deployed at the same site. As the experimental parameters have broadened, we now submit a new application with a 1- year term. Parallel Wireless is collaborating with many stakeholders allied with FirstNet's effort to build a national public safety broadband network (PSBN). Engagements with these parties are scheduled in 2015 and 2016 to cover: •! Propagation research covering LTE access over Band 14 employing backhaul from satellite, carrier LTE wired Internet and mesh backhaul. •! Propagation research for in-vehicle (police, EMS) and conventional deployables (dedicated COW). •! Integration of hybrid carrier/Band 14 network with ATT, Verizon, US Cellular, Sprint, TMobile. In support of specifications released in FirstNet's draft RFP, Parallel is undertaking research on seamless handoff in a hybrid carrier/Band 14 network. •! Propagation testing across a twelve month cycle accounting for annual foliage and climate variation. •! Integration with local, regional, national and virtual EPC. •! Research on adoption by public safety personnel of Band 14 applications, including push-to-talk, real time video, file transfer, force locator. A proposed timeline follows, which is subject to change and to grant of the license. ! 1 Tara Blvd., Nashua, NH 03062, USA 1-603-589-9937 ! ! 1

Through August 31, 2015 Collaboration with the New Hampshire Dept. of Safety on rural engineering and budget models for Band 14 deployment. Week of September 21, 2015 Sprint Emergency Response Team (ERT) will station their deployable vehicle at Russell Abbot State Forest in New Hampshire. ERT to provide satellite backhaul for Parallel Wireless CWS-110. 20 watt output. Week of November 16, 2015 New Jersey Office of Homeland Security Programs (NJ OHSP) to station their Band 14 equipped deployable vehicle (Cell on Wheels) to Russell Abbot State Forest in New Hampshire. 80 watt output. Through August 31, 2016 NIST Public Safety Communications Research Rob Stafford Principal Investigator will collaborate with Parallel Wireless under the recently executed CRADA focused on deployables. Parallel will use MACC base pilot to test handoff between the mobile CWS-203, the fixed CWS-110 and carrier LTE services for backhaul.
