    NARRATIVE EXPLANATION OF OPERATION AND NATURE OF APPLICANT

Persistent Systems, LLC, a Limited Liability Company based in New York City, is an American
manufacturer of high speed, secure data networking equipment for both military/defense and
industrial, non-government applications. Principally, Persistent manufactures scalable mobile
networking systems based on Wave Relay MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Networking) Technology.
Persistent’s products permit voice, video, and situational awareness to mobile users with no
reliance on fixed infrastructure. For more than a decade, Persistent has been a pioneer in
developing advanced MANET technology and commercializing it in the Defense and Industrial
sectors.

Persistent has in the past utilized Special Temporary Authority grants for research and
development and testing of its products in urbanized areas. The ongoing R&D activities to
develop MANET products for Army and Navy deployment, however, necessitate a longer period
of testing and deployment in the New York City area. This is entirely terrestrial operation
proposed to be conducted with respect to radio modules in the bands 2200-2290 MHz and 4400-
4800 MHz which will be for MANET systems and component products for military deployment
only. Though the center frequency 2277.00 MHz (with a 20 megahertz occupied bandwidth
emission) is the preferred frequency within the band 2200-2290 MHz to provide a consistent
benchmark for testing and evaluation in this Urban environment, the frequency agility of the
system and the data modules includes 2200-2290 MHz in 5 MHz steps. Frequency changes can
be conducted remotely should the need to do so arise.

It is also proposed to conduct R&D proof of concept testing in New York City, an exceptionally
crowded broadcast auxiliary market, for use and adaptation of the technology for video relay and
broadcast auxiliary/video production purposes in the 2025-2110 MHz band. For testing in the
2025-2110 MHz band, all operation will be coordinated in advance with the Society of Broadcast
Engineers’ frequency coordinators and with the Department of Defense (which is currently
arranging sharing with BAS/CARS/LTTS licensees in that band).

The stop buzzer contact for this operation is Mr. Ben Wring, at 646-627-8214.
