Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: T-Mobile USA, Inc. hereby respectfully requests experimental special temporary authority from April 1, 2017, to October 1, 2017. The experiments will operate in AWS-3 spectrum that is held by the Commission as well as utilizing 700 MHz, PCS, and AWS spectrum licensed to T-Mobile in the market. The testing will be in a highly controlled field environment that will help T-Mobile to allow the pre-commercial testing of new products outside of a lab environment but in a controlled and managed manner.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

T-Mobile is working with equipment vendors to conduct product testing. The trials at the location listed below will allow T-Mobile to test prototype equipment in outdoor and indoor setting prior to equipment certification. The trials will consist of a base station that will use the transmission parameters detailed below in Section C. Mobile units will operate within three kilometers of the base station. T-Mobile anticipates using as many as 36 mobile units at the location.
