The Federal Communications Commission                       STA Confirmation Number: EL654305
445 12th Street, SW                                          STA File Number: 1353-EX-ST-2017

Submitted Electronically via ELS
To Whom It May Concern:
       Parallel Wireless, Inc., respectfully requests approval of this Experimental Special
Temporary Authorization (“STA”) for the purpose of operating prototype LTE equipment in and
around its laboratories in Nashua, NH. The demonstration will operate in the 2900 MHz
spectrum (TDD Band 39). The frequency range involved is 1880-1920 MHz. Parallel Wireless
understands that TDD Band 39 is unlicensed in the United States.
         If granted, the STA will allow Parallel Wireless to further test the functionality of its LTE
network equipment. Parallel Wireless respectfully requests that the FCC grant the STA for the
period of October 2, 2017 through April 2, 2018. The proposed dates 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.
        Parallel Wireless proposes to conduct the demonstration at its headquarters in Nashua,
NH. The equipment will include two temporary base stations and associated antennas. The
address and approximate reference coordinates (in Datum: NAD83) of the temporary fixed base
stations are:

               Datum: NAD83

       Parallel Wireless conducted a search of the Commission’s Universal Licensing System
(“ULS”) database and verified that the proposed demonstration in Nashua, New Hampshire
should not interfere with any primary operations in that spectrum.
        The Parallel Wireless equipment constitutes two LTE eNodeB base stations. The base
stations will connect to the operator network and provide cellular service. The backhaul
connection for the eNodeB base station is provided wirelessly using Wi-Fi or using a
conventional modem functionality. Demonstration of the base stations will entail conventional
handsets connecting to each base station in their typical operating environment.

        Parallel Wireless understands that operation under this STA would be on a temporary
basis during the requested dates, is non-renewable, and that no other rights to this spectrum are
conferred though the granting of the STA.
       It is also understood that all operations under this STA will be terminated should the FCC
or any other user report harmful interference. Parallel Wireless will maintain control of the
system at all times and be able to take immediate steps to resolve any interference, including if
necessary arranging for the discontinuance of operation. The single point of contact for this STA
operation is:
