                 Call sign WH2XIN Modification (3550-3650 MHz)

1 Introduction
Qualcomm's technologies powered the smartphone revolution and connected billions of people.
We pioneered 3G and 4G – and now we are leading the way to 5G and a new era of intelligent,
connected devices. Our products are revolutionizing industries, including automotive, computing,
IoT, healthcare and data center, and are allowing millions of devices to connect with each other in
ways never before imagined. Qualcomm Incorporated includes our licensing business, QTL, and
the vast majority of our patent portfolio. Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm
Incorporated, operates, along with its subsidiaries, all of our engineering, research and
development functions, and all of our products and services businesses, including, our QCT
semiconductor business. For more information, visit Qualcomm’s website, OnQ
blog, Twitter and Facebook pages.

This license modification is requested changes to call sign to enable to following
    1) Reduce the lower frequency to 3550 MHz
    2) Increase the transmission bandwidth to 100 MHz
    3) Add unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) within a 1 mile radius at an altitude of 400 feet
         and below AGL

2 Experiment Modification Description
Qualcomm has utilized the frequency range of 3560-3650 to develop 4G LTE technologies under
call sign WH2XIN. Qualcomm is now requesting permission to modify the existing license to
enable 5G development testing.

To enable 5G testing, an additional 10 MHz of spectrum is required to support the required 100
MHz channel bandwidth. In addition, Qualcomm desires to use the spectrum for limited testing of
unmanned aircraft systems at an altitude of 400 feet and below AGL.

The testing will use up to 10 fixed site base stations and up to 50 small cell sites located inside
the geographic region described in Section 2. Mobile devices will be operated with in the
coverage provided by the fixed sites.

The number and locations of sites used for testing vary with time and are dependent on test
program goals and coordination efforts with the US Navy through the Navy and Marine Corps
Spectrum Offices (NMCSO).

The intent is to operate the LTE and 5G networks 24 hours per day 7 days per week.


3 Interference Coordination
Immediate requests for Qualcomm to stop transmission should be emailed to
3.5GHz.trial.shutdown@qualcomm.com. Alternatively, a shutdown requested can be submitted
through John Forrester who can be contacted at 858-845-7428 or jforrest@qti.qualcomm.com

           4 Transmitter Information
           Downlink RF channels with a transmission bandwidth of 20 to 100 MHz will be operated within
           the requested frequency range at any one time.

           The maximum EIRP for the is listed in Table 1. The fixed sites and small cells also support MIMO
           and the defined power is with respect to each antenna sector.

           Table 2 defines the deployment radiuses where all fixed, small cell sites, and mobile units will be
           located within during the testing. Airborne units will be within a 1 mile radius of the location with a
           maximum altitude of 400’ AGL.
