T-Mobile USA, Inc. Request for Part 5 Experimental STA ELS File No. 1996-EX-ST-2018 NARRATIVE STATEMENT T-Mobile USA, Inc. hereby respectfully requests special temporary authority (“STA”) beginning Dec 15, 2018 to June 15, 2019, to evaluate the technical performance of pre-production License Assisted Access (“LAA”). The experiments will operate in AWS-1 spectrum licensed to T-Mobile as well as in unlicensed 5 GHz spectrum (U-NII-2) for down-link only mode. The testing will be in a highly controlled field environment that will help T-Mobile to allow pre- commercial testing of new products outside of a lab environment but in a controlled and managed manner. A. Purpose of operations and need for experimental license: The purpose of our testing is to conduct product testing of new LAA equipment. The trials at various locations listed below will allow T-Mobile to test pre-production equipment in outdoor and indoor testing setting prior to the devices completing the equipment authorization process. B. Need for an STA: An STA is needed to get access to unlicensed 5 GHz (U-NII-2) spectrum for testing purposes in Houston and LA. The mobile units will be receive-only in the unlicensed 5 GHz but will also include an LTE transmitter that will operate in the AWS-1 spectrum pursuant to Section 2.805(e)(1)(i) of the FCC’s rules on frequencies already licensed to T-Mobile. T-Mobile anticipates using as many as 10 mobiles units at each location. C. Dates of Operation: 12/15/2018 through 5/31/2019 or as soon as possible.
