                                           Narrative Statement


Pivotal Commware (Pivotal) is developing Holographic Beam Forming (HBF) antenna technology that will
improve the capacity, coverage and throughput of wireless networks.

Pivotal seeks a conventional experimental authorization to undertake testing and perform
demonstrations of its HBF technology in the following bands:

    •   27.5 – 28.35 GHz
    •   38.6 – 40 GHz

Pivotal plans to undertake such testing at various fixed locations around the United States. Pivotal plans
to test within spectrum already licensed to a service provider, in conjunction with the licensee or with
prior consent of the licensee.

The technical details of the testing are set forth below.

Transmit equipment to be used, including name of manufacturer, model and number of units.

Pivotal Commware Model Echo, 28 GHz device, 20 units.
Pivotal Commware Model Taurus, 39 GHz device, 20 units.

Maximum effective radiated power (ERP) or equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP).

Maximum (peak) EIRP will be +44 dBm (14 dBW), or 25.2 Watts, which translates to ERP of 41.85 dBm
(11.85 dBW), or 15.3 Watts.

Emission designators (see §2.201 of this chapter) or describe emission (bandwidth, modulation, etc.)

100MG7W

Additional Information

Frequency tolerance: 0.001%
Width of transmit beam in degrees at half-power point: 5 degrees in azimuth and 20 degrees in
elevation for broadside scan; 10 degrees in azimuth and 30 degrees in elevation for scan 60 degrees.
Width of receive beam in degrees at half-power point: same as transmit
Antenna gain (maximum): 23 dBi.
Polarization: Linear
Stop buzzer POC: Mersad Cavcic – 206-369-7682
