Exhibit
By the instant application, the applicant, Tecore Inc. (“Tecore”), seeks the modification
of its current experimental license held under call sign WF2XMI to change the center point of
the 15 kilometer radius operation area to 39-11-31N; 76-43-35W. The modification is required
because of the relocation of Tecore’s offices and test facilities from 7061 Columbia Gateway
Drive in Columbia, MD to 7030 Hi Tech Drive in Hanover, MD, effective September 25, 2012.
No other aspect of the authorization is requested for modification
As stated in its original application for call sign WF2XMI, Tecore is a developer and
manufacturer of “software-defined” network equipment to support commercial and non-
commercial applications for fixed and mobile wireless communications. It develops,
manufactures and sells wireless base station, switching and related products for specialized
applications around the world. Its industry leadership in this field has been internationally
recognized. We hold numerous US and international patents for our products and processes, and
are the recipient of three awards from the GSM World Congress for product innovation.
Planned activities will involve fixed and mobile stations operating within existing
wireless standards. The requested authorization will enable Tecore to continue its program of
development, experimentation, testing and demonstration of products for domestic and
international use at its new location.
Tecore will continue to limit use of the frequencies to the maximum extent possible, will
utilize authorized frequencies to operate only on unused channels, and will employ "dummy
loads" and indoor operations when feasible. In order to fully and adequately develop, test and
demonstrate our equipment and software, however, we must from time to time exceed these
limitations. The authority will continue to allow Tecore to configure, test and demonstrate
operative systems under real-world conditions, thereby developing information on their
performance as terrain, building clutter and tree clutter changes. The non-radio network
equipment to be operated under this authorization is experimental, but the radio components of
the systems employ off-the-shelf products made by major third party manufacturers.
Recognizing that use of the frequencies under this license will be on a secondary basis in
accordance with Part 5 of the Commission’s Rules, we will continue to coordinate our operations
with those licensees affected by experimentation in the area of operation. The limited service
area poses a minimal and manageable area of interference potential, but provides sufficient area
in which to accomplish the developmental objectives of the license. Our staff has long
experience with frequency coordination, use of spectrum analysis equipment, and notification to
avoid causing harmful and disruptive interference to authorized primary users of the radio
spectrum.
In the event testing situations require the use of antennas and support structures that
invoke FAA notification rules, such notification will be submitted pursuant to Part 17 of the
Commission’s Rules. However, any such operations would be temporary, and would involve no
construction that changes land features or involves sensitive areas. Accordingly, as before, no
environmental assessment is required for any operations to be conducted under this application.
The equipment used in the experimental operations authorized to Tecore may not in all
instances be capable of providing compliant station identification. Accordingly, to the degree
required, waiver of the Rule 5.115 station identification requirement continues to be requested.
