Give the following information of person who can best handle inquiries pertaining to this application:   Last Name: Keltz First Name: Ira Title: Managing Director - Engineering Phone Number: 2027994412

Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: T-Mobile already holds a nationwide license for the 70/80/90 GHz bands (WQWZ779). However, T-Mobile requires an STA to evaluate a microwave radio with integrated antenna for the 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz bands. The radio is FCC certificated, but the antenna under evaluation meets ETSI Class 2 sidelobe suppression requirements, but does not currently meet the antenna requirements in 47 CFR 101.115.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

T-Mobile is working with equipment vendors to evaluate 5G solutions for high bandwidth, short hop radio links for urban cores.

Information

Callsign:	WM9XAX
Class of Station:	FX
Nature of Service:	Experimental

Requested Period of Operation

Operation Start Date:	12/14/2017
Operation End Date:	05/10/2018

Manufacturer

List below transmitting equipment to be installed (if experimental, so state) if additional rows are required, please submit equipment list as an exhibit:
Manufacturer	Model Number	No. Of Units	Experimental
Ceragon	IP-20E	2	No

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.
