Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The purpose of this operation is to gather data on the use of airborne picocell technology with GSM handsets aboard aircraft in flight. This data will be used by the Applicant in the ongoing Commission rulemaking on cellular use aboard aircraft and to further develop its picocell solution. Applicant will coordinate operations with existing cellular operators to ensure non-interference with incumbent systems. The test program will will measure emissions from the GSM handsets and will also measure any discernable emissions outside the aircraft on the ground. The GSM handsets will be under picocell control while operating in the test aircraft. Airborne testing will only occur when the aircraft is at an altitude above 10,000 feet. The maximum power levels to be used are 10mW on the ground and 20mW in the air. Applicant Telenor Satellite, Inc., together with ARINC and Boeing, is engaged in testing its airborne picocell solution that will allow for the use of GSM handsets aboard aircraft in flight. The purpose of these tests is to evaluate the feasibility of the use of GSM handsets in flight and the potential effects of of transmissions with airborne systems and ground network infrastructure. Telenor and ARINC have, pursuant to previous grants of STA, tested their solution on the ground, and the next step is to test the solution in the air. The results of these tests will provide data that will enable the parties to file helpful comments in the Commissions ongoing rulemaking proceeding on the use of airborne cellular telephones. The test program will take place in the air above 10,000 feet above the states of Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Idaho, and on the ground at airfields within these states. The aircraft to be used in this test will be a modified Boeing 777 twin-engine widebody jet aircraft. The dates of the test are May and June 2005.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Test of GSM picocell technology aboard aircraft in flight.
