Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Parallel Wireless, Inc. is an innovative company developing next-generation 3G, 4G, and 5G radio access networks. Parallel Wireless, in cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), would like to participate in the 2017 First Responder Electronic Jamming Exercise, occurring at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory from July 16–22. The purpose of the DHS Jamming Exercise is generally to prepare public safety organizations to recognize, respond, report, and resolve jamming incidents, and also to support procurements from the DHS approved equipment list by testing a variety of equipment. At the direction of DHS, Parallel Wireless is applying for the STA on behalf of itself and also the other participants of the jamming exercise. An STA is necessary in order to conduct activities on LTE Band 14. Parallel Wireless is undertaking this jamming exercise in conjunction with DHS, and will share research results with the Public Safety Communication Research Program (PSCR), FirstNet, and cooperating vendors in the public safety broadband markets. For more information about the event, the Commission is invited to contact Sridhar Kowdley, DHS S&T, at [email protected].
