    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 different environments. 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 area near Pinehurst, NC. An identical Experimental
license to that requested herein for the New York City area was granted recently. See, WJ2XTP,
File No. 0518-EX-CN-2018. 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 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 the Pinehurst 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. Shane Flint of Persistent Systems, LLC at 646-
627-8237, or by mobile phone at 910-315-4436. His e-mail address is
