Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
BBN Technologies respectfully requests Special Temporary Authority to operate the transmitters necessary to demonstrate the ability to perform distributed transmit beamforming using RF modules developed under DARPA BAA 09-65. Specifically, BBN Technologies seeks to demonstrate the capability to synchronize clocks from up to 10 RF modules remotely using UHF band frequencies, and project RF energy at specified frequencies that results in the coherent combining of focused power within a small geographic area of interest. TICC1101 radios are used to allow networking of the nodes to allow clock synchronization. The program is designed to test the viability of using the these radios to enable high data rate transmissions and longer ranges. Special Temporary Authority is required because BBN Technologies does not hold any existing FCC authorizations that enable transmissions in the band of interest at the demonstration sites located near Mercersburg, Pennsylvania and Delaplane, Va. The testing being conducted is non-commercial, unique research oriented, and short-term nature of the operation. The testing will occur between the hours of 8:00am to 6:00pm EDT. BBN Technologies will no longer require this STA at the conclusion of the testing in Dec 2011.Stop Buzzer information: Primary Richard ODonnell Work: 703-284-1222 Cell:703-402-4570.
