Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
UDRI is developing new first responder tracking technology using frequency shifted 420-449.9 mhz band radio signals. The technology will allow tracking accuracy and effectiveness that overcomes problems with GPS technology and saves firefighters lives. An STA is required in order to allow for testing of the prototypes of the new products using the technology. The prototypes are not for sale.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

The purpose of the new technology is to provide for a tracking system using a transmitter, a frequency shifting transponder (beacon) that reflects back the transmitted signal, and a receiver/locator which receives the signal for processsing and conversion into the user interface format.
