Robert Bosch LLC Request for Grant of Special Temporary Authority File No. 1461- EX-ST-2019 Narrative Exhibit Describing Operation This application, filed by Robert Bosch LLC, an international manufacturer of tools, automotive equipment, and industrial and consumer products, requests special temporary authority during a six-month period beginning October 1, 2019 and ending March 31, 2020, to permit development and testing of a device that will permit vehicle maintenance. Bosch is developing a trial product to sense sections of a vehicle. Therefore Bosch is planning to conduct pilot test runs in the field in the areas requested in the test license. The device supports connectivity using commercial mobile networks in the area. Communications for this connectivity will be commercially provided through AT&T for this series of experiments using SIM cards from AT&T as the only involved commercial mobile service provider. Bosch will not be using spectrum in the cellular bands that is allocated to any commercial service provider other than through a commercial service provider (in this case AT&T), so no interference on those allocations can arise to any other carrier from the use of this device. Specific frequencies will be determined by the network operator only. There will be no RF signals transmitted without the SIM card from the commercial service provider. The product uses network data services provided by the commercial service provider to transfer information to the server. This system is capable of using 3G and LTE depending on the SIM provided by the commercial mobile services provider. The purpose of this STA is to evaluate the product in the field; to collect data for analytics in the field; develop applications for this device and explore different use cases by incorporating it in various vehicles; and to improve product implementation during this pilot phase. All of the experimental devices will be retrieved by Robert Bosch LLC from all test vehicles upon completion of the operation. The bands sought herein are as follows: LTE Band 2: 1850 to 1910 MHz LTE Band 4: 1710 to 1755 MHz LTE Band 12: 699 to 716 MHz There will also be a GPS receiver included in the product. It is a composite device incorporating a Sierra Wireless Airprime WP7700 LPWA Module (FCC ID #N7NP77); 4G LTE CAT-M1; and Galileo, Glonass, and Beidou devices. Neither the composite product nor its components other than as mentioned above is certified in the United States as of yet. Hence the need for the STA for this pre-production testing, evaluation, data gathering, and development of applications/use cases for the device. The Stop Buzzer contact in the United States for Bosch for this test series at all locations will be Daniel Franke of Bosch, whose mobile phone number is 248-568-7440. Should any interference

arise or be complained of by any entity during the event, all operation will cease until the interference complaint is resolved to the satisfaction of the complainant. Should any question arise concerning this application, kindly notify undersigned counsel. Christopher D. Imlay Booth, Freret & Imlay, LLC 14356 Cape May Road Silver Spring, MD 20904-6011 (301) 384-5525 telephone (301) 384-6384 facsimile chris@imlaylaw.com chris.imlay@gmail.com
