Request for Grant of Special Temporary Authority
File No. 1817- EX-ST-2017


                           Narrative Exhibit Describing Operation

This application, filed by Robert Bosch LLC, an international manufacturer of tools, automotive
equipment and consumer products, requests special temporary authority during the period
beginning January 15, 2018 and ending January 30, 2018 to operate a Bosch automotive radar
sensor in the United States at the Daytona International Speedway at Daytona Beach, Florida,
mounted on four different automobiles. One sensor will be mounted on each of the 4 vehicles
and operated during the Rolex 24 automobile race at that venue during the latter part of the test
period. The operation during the period, including the race, is for the purpose of proof-of concept
testing at the Speedway on race vehicles.

The device is a 76-77 GHz radar sensor to be mounted on the exterior of the automobile. It is a
Bosch Model sensor which is currently in the process of certification as a Part 15 intentional
radiator in the United States, hence the need for this STA.

The device meets all technical standards of Section 15.253 for vehicular radar sensors in that
band. The nominal (99%) occupied bandwidth is 461.6 MHz and the device uses a peak power of
less than 32 dBm or 1.58 watts. The antenna is a planar patch internal antenna with a gain of
either 19.8 dBi or 12.8 dBi depending on which of two antennas is used.

The Stop Buzzer contacts in the United States are Mr. Erich Ohide, a Bosch Senior Engineer,
whose direct phone number is 248-876-5821, and Mr. Michael Stams of Bosch Engineering in
Germany, whose direct phone number is +49 (7062) 911-9322.

Should any question arise concerning this application, kindly notify undersigned counsel.
