Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
CMU is working on new types of cellular base stations, including a rapidly deployable, software-defined version of a GSM station. We presented this research at Palo Altos annual Quakeville disaster simulation event on September 21st, 2013, and a mobile communications vehicle based on the same technology at the Joint Interagency Field Experimentation (JIFX) during August 11-13, 2014. We would like to demonstrate the base station and mobile communications vehicle at Pacificon in Santa Clara to a group of amateur radio operators, youth, and enthusiasts. GSM service will be restricted to a group of our researchers and a very small number conference attendees carrying our customized phones that have been pre-registered on our network.
