Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Alcatel-Lucent requests that the Federal Communications Commission (?FCC?) grant an experimental special temporary authority (?Experimental STA?) for Los Angeles, California using the D Block spectrum in the 700 MHz band to create a testing lab to demonstrate Long Term Evolution (?LTE?) equipment beginning on November 1, 2011 and ending on May 1, 2012. The demonstration and subsequent trial network will show LTE broadband capabilities that will ultimately protect the life, health, or property of first responders and the citizens of the United States.

Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The demonstration will conform to the following parameters: 1. The Regional Technology Center (?RTC?) is collaboration between University of California, Los Angeles, Raytheon and Alcatel-Lucent, its purpose is to create an indoor/outdoor environment to test applications, devices, business processes and to conduct demonstrations for other agencies considering LTE. Operation will be confined to the immediate vicinity of the RTC, 11899 Woodruff Ave, Downey, CA 90241-5631. The equipment would include a base station and associated antenna located at the demonstration site, along-with a small number of portable units operating at no more than 1.5 kilometers from the base site. 2. We are requesting authority from the FCC to operate over the 758-763/788-793 MHz band, which is currently unlicensed D block spectrum. 3. Operation will occur between November 1 ? May 1, 2012, allowing time during that period for setup and testing, demonstrations, and teardown. 4. Alcatel-Lucent has analyzed information from the FCC?s ULS databases and has determined that the proposed operation would not interfere or create a significant potential for interference with any public safety operations in the 700 MHz band. Specifically, we found no active public safety licenses authorizing operation in the Los Angeles, California area on frequencies that are co-channel to those proposed in this STA request.
