December 4, 2017 The Federal Communications Commission Form 422 Conf. No.: EL146748 445 12th Street, SW Form 442 File No: 0863-EX-CN-2017 Washington, DC 20554 Submitted Electronically via ELS To Whom It May Concern: Parallel Wireless, Inc., an innovative company developing next-generation 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G radio access networks, 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 seeks an experimental license grant for multiple frequencies, across several 2G, 3G, and 4G Bands. Parallel Wireless intends to operate fixed and mobile devices around the home of a Parallel Wireless co-founder, located in Windham, NH. Due to broadened experimental parameters, we now submit this application with a 1-year term. The proposed term is January 5, 2018 to January 5, 2019. Parallel Wireless has previously requested and received an experimental Radio Station Construction Permit and License, e.g. 0219-EX-CN-2017 and multiple Special Temporary Authorities (STA) licenses, e.g. 1135-EX-ST-2016 and 1775-EX-ST-2016. This experimental license request is for the same hardware, some of which is no longer experimental. A full listing of Parallel Wireless certified hardware may be found under FCC Grantee Code 2AI7F. Grant of this experimental license application will enable Parallel Wireless to undertake additional product development, research, and testing that supports its goal to facilitate deployment of mobile broadband networks. The product, and the attendant experimental testing, is relevant to the continued expansion of mobile broadband networks, including methods for increasing capacity, network speed, equipment density, and ease of operation. The following information is provided to satisfy FCC Form 422, Question 7, a–c. a. The complete program of research and experimentation proposed including description of equipment and theory of operation The equipment to be experimentally tested consists of the Parallel Wireless fixed and mobile base stations. The Parallel Wireless equipment constitutes 2G, 3G, and 4G eNodeB base stations. The base stations connect to the operator network and provide cellular service. In some cases, service is provided to mobile devices using Wi-Fi. Backhaul connections for the eNodeB base stations are provided wirelessly using Wi-Fi or using a conventional modem functionality. Testing of the base stations will entail conventional handsets connecting to the base stations in their typical operating environment. b. The specific objectives sought to be accomplished 100 Innovative Way, Suite 3410, Nashua, NH 03062, USA 1-603-589-9937 1

The objectives to be accomplished is continued testing of both Parallel Wireless software and hardware. This includes testing of hardware revisions and new software releases required to meet the requirements of, and fix bugs for, Parallel Wireless’s customers, various network operators. Furthermore, Parallel Wireless hopes to assess performance in real-world RF environments, and performance of various UEs (user equipments) with the eNodeB base stations. c. How the program of experimentation has a reasonable promise of contribution to the development, extension, expansion, or utilization of radio art, or is along lines not already investigated. In testing the Parallel Wireless hardware and software, Parallel Wireless hopes to additionally further the understanding of 2G, 3G, and 4G radios and algorithms, research meshing capabilities relevant to 2G, 3G, and 4G radios, and study integration of multiple radio access technologies with antennas in over-the-air testing. Parallel Wireless includes this letter as part of the above-referenced application to affirm its understanding of its obligation to conduct operations under this license. Parallel Wireless accordingly agrees that it: • Will not utilize the license in conjunction with the provision of mission-critical communications. • Has designated an overall project manager and a “stop buzzer” contact for these experiments, identified in an attachment to this letter. Parallel Wireless has successfully coordinated such testing for all of its licenses to date. • Understands that the experimental license will only permit shared use of the subject radio frequencies and that Parallel Wireless may have to coordinate with other licensed entities. • Affirms that all of its experimental operations will be secondary, such that they must not cause interference to narrowband or broadband operations authorized on a primary basis; and that narrowband and broadband operators authorized on a primary basis have no obligation to mitigate any interference that such primary operation may present to the Parallel Wireless experimental operations.
