Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Equinox intends to integrate LTE communications system operating in licensed bands into multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles that receive their electrical power and network connectivity through a cable that is connected to both a generator and a BTS or laptop. These systems will be used as temporary towers, flying up to 120 meter for periods of several hours at a time. The drones will carry a range of antennas, amplifiers, complete small cell products, and fiber-fed remote radio heads. Experiments will focus on range, signal quality, and data throughput performance. Ground activities will utilize user equipment handsets to communicate over private networks with locally hosted or cloud-hosted network cores.
