Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
TrackNet Inc. intends to conduct a short term experiment (less than 4 months) where radio emitting devices are being deployed that fall under FCC 15.247. The devices are low-power, non-licensed radio transmitters operating in the license free, US 902-928MHz ISM frequency band with a peak output power of less than 20dBm for trackers, 27dBm for gateways. TrackNet intends to go through the regular FCC certification process, but needs to start a trial before the certification process begins.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

The purpose of the operation is a proof of concept that a car location application can be implemented using ISM band wireless technology. The goal is determining the exact geolocation of stationary cars in a used car sales parking lot. TrackNet intends to place a tracker in each car (up to 4000 cars), and a few gateways (less than 10) in the parking lot, and have the trackers send periodic geolocation data to the gateways in the US 902-928MHz ISM band. The location of the experiment is in a geographically confined area, on a privately owned land in Florida (600 Sansburys Way, West Palm Beach, FL 33411). All operating trackers and gateways are to stay within the property for the duration of the experiment. The wireless technology to be deployed is based on Semtech’s LoRa spread spectrum modulation (SX127X product family), and the application falls under FCC Part 15.247. The hardware pieces (trackers and gateways) are custom devices developed by TrackNet, which will be pre-tested in a lab and installed by properly skilled and experienced staff to ensure regulatory compliance.

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.
