Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Cosworth deploys a telemetry service for the NTT IndyCar series, which provides onboard diagnostic data to the teams and safety & GPS positional data to the series. Cosworth requires usage in the 3650 - 3700 MHz band and understands the band has been redesigned with the new CBRS introduction. Due to the introduction of CBRS, Cosworth needs an STA in order to continue operation for the 2021 race season to be afforded some protection against interference, which could pose a safety issue to on-track racing activity. Cosworth will be developing a replacement system throughout the 2021 season to be deployed for 2022.
