T-Mobile USA, Inc. Request for Part 5 Experimental Special Temporary Authority ELS File No. 1056-EX-ST-2017 NARRATIVE STATEMENT Pursuant to Sections 5.3 (j) and Section 5.61 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 5.3(j), 5.61 (2016), T-Mobile USA, Inc. (“T-Mobile”) hereby respectfully requests experimental special temporary authority (“STA”) from August 4, 2017 to February 4, 2018, to evaluate the technical performance of pre- commercial LAA equipment. The experiments will operate in AWS-1 spectrum licensed to T-Mobile as well as in unlicensed 5 GHz spectrum (in a downlink- only mode). 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. A. Purpose of Operation and Need for STA: T-Mobile is working with equipment vendors to conduct product testing of new LAA equipment. The trials at the various locations listed below will allow T-Mobile to test prototype equipment in outdoor and indoor setting prior to equipment certification. The trials will consist of up to 10 small cells and access points that will use the transmission parameters detailed below in Section C. Mobile units will operate within the RF coverage area of the small cell stations. The mobiles will be receive-only in the unlicensed 5 GHz band but will also include an LTE transmitter that will operate in the AWS-1 spectrum. T-Mobile anticipates using as many as 20 mobile units at each location. B. Location of Proposed Operation: T-Mobile intends to conduct testing in 25 locations with the address and approximate reference coordinates (in Datum: NAD83) of each of the fixed locations: Latitude Longitude Address 34.02993 -118.26832 220 W 21st St Los Angeles CA 90007 34.028754 -118.270949 2301 S Grand Ave Los Angeles CA 90007 33.99744 -118.24988 1402 E 50th St Los Angeles CA 90011 33.997625 -118.252051 4916 Hooper Ave Los Angeles CA 90011 33.78085 -118.16979 1104 Rose Ave Los Angeles CA 90813 33.78302 -118.17194 1601 E Anaheim St Los Angeles CA 90813 33.77586 -118.1622 720 Stanley Ave Los Angeles CA 90813 34.03129 -118.25627 601 E 15th St Los Angeles CA 90011 33.9965 -118.2471 1518 E 51st St Los Angeles CA 90011 34.0162 -118.2599 3099 Griffith Ave Los Angeles CA 90011 1

Technical Specifications: 1. Frequencies Desired T-Mobile will be using AWS-1 spectrum for the testing as well as unlicensed 5 GHz spectrum. Specifically, T-Mobile will be transmitting in accordance with the frequency information in its application, transmitting at 2.4 watts and 300 milliwatts in the frequency bands 5170- 5250 MHz and 5725-5850 MHz with an emission designator of 60M0F7D. 2. Equipment To Be Used T-Mobile will be using prototype equipment that has not yet received FCC certification. This equipment will be provided by a number of vendors. D. Protection Against Causing Interference: T-Mobile is requesting use of the unlicensed 5 GHz spectrum bands. T-Mobile will only operate AWS-1 in bands that it has licenses for in the different locations. T-Mobile understands that it must accept any interference from any users of this band and that all operations by T-Mobile will be on a secondary 2

basis. T-Mobile has established a point of contact identified below with “kill switch” authority should any interference occur to primary licensed services. Should interference occur, T-Mobile will take immediate steps to resolve the interference, including, if necessary, arranging for the discontinuance of operation. E. Restrictions on Operation: T-Mobile is not seeking authority to perform a market study under the requested STA. Moreover, no fees will be charged to entities using the equipment during this test. Entities will be advised in accordance with Section 2.803 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §2.803, that any unapproved devices which have not been authorized as required by the FCC are not being offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until authorization is obtained. F. Public Interest: T-Mobile submits that issuance of the STA as requested is in the public interest, convenience, and necessity. Grant of an STA will help T-Mobile to develop and test innovative equipment to provide service to consumers. G.
