Give the following information of person who can best handle inquiries pertaining to this application:   Last Name: Patton First Name: Thomas Title: Vice President, Government Relations Phone Number: 202-962-8550

Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: Applicant has developed hardware to demonstrate potential applications using unoccupied UHF spectrum in the 512-698 MHz band, corresponding to television channels 21-51 (the TV white spaces). A portion of Applicants demonstration involves a brief, low-power transmission of an OFDM signal in an unoccupied 6 MHz channel in this band. All demonstrated transmissions will be less than 10 minutes at a time, at a power not to exceed 50 mW, and will take place indoors. All transmissions will take place outside the protected service contour of incumbent operations. The demonstrations will be part of the IEEE DYSPAN conference to be held in Chicago from October 14-17, 2008.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Demonstrations at the IEEE DYSPAN conference of hardware developed for unlicensed use of unoccupied UHF spectrum. Applicant is a proponent of the unlicensed use of unoccupied UHF spectrum in the 512-698 MHz band (see generally ET Doc. No. 04-168). Applicant has developed hardware to demonstrate the potential for high-speed data applications using this spectrum, and seeks to use this hardware in demonstrations in the geographic location and during the time periods identified below.

Certification

Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.
