Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The proposed operations will be a preliminary step to assess the suitability of equipment which Applicant plans to use in future field trials of the technology at issue. Because the proposed operations should require less than six months to complete, an STA is appropriate in this case. Any required authorization for the future field trial will be applied for separately.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Testing of a Digital Video Broadcast Handheld (DVB-H) system at low power. A Digital Video Broadcast Handheld (DVB-H) system will be tested indoors at low power. The experimental links will be restricted to the inside of the main building of a satellite earth station operated by the Applicant in Vernon Valley, New Jersey. The purpose of the testing is to verify the performance of UHF mobile communications base-station equipment for use in an experimental DVB-H link. The DVB-H system to be tested incorporates H.264 compression, error correction and OFDM modulation which have not yet been deployed in the U.S. Applicant has already obtained experimental authority for related operations of the same equipment in its Princeton, New Jersey laboratory. The new location is needed to permit Applicant to test and monitor the quality of live video source signals received at the Vernon Valley earth station, which are not available at the Princeton lab. Applicant’s planned service offering will involve the use of two non-adjacent channels. The seamless integration of two different frequency blocks on a handheld receiving device presents special issues which need to be investigated prior to launching a field trial. Therefore, Applicant requires the use of both channels 54 and 59. The very low power levels and the indoor-only operations will prevent the occurrence of harmful interference to any licensed broadcast facilities on these channels, and operations will, in any event, be subject to prior coordination by the Society of Broadcast Engineers.

Certification
Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.
