                          QUESTION 3: APPLICATION PURPOSE

       The applicant is currently conducting analysis and tests at its Bentonville, Arkansas lab
pursuant to OET Experimental Radio Station Construction Permit and License, WE2XDK, File
Number 0135-EX-RR-2009, effective August 1, 2009 and expiring on August 1, 2011. The
applicant requests authority to expand its research into the propagation characteristics of RFID
technologies (e.g., electronic product code tags) to the applicant’s Rogers, Arkansas lab.

        The experimental license WE2XDK thus far has allowed applicant to evaluate RFID
equipment that will potentially be used in international locations. The testing provides applicant
with a means for recommending or making purchasing decisions. In addition, as applicant
receives software / firmware enhancements from technology vendors for devices already
installed, they are tested in the lab first before release to the overall install base. Applicant’s
research as its Bentonville lab continues to be central to the company’s RFID implementation
goals. However, the company seeks to expand testing to capabilities to include its Rogers lab.

       Applicant has coordinated this application with the International Municipal Signal
Association.
