Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
This operation is for a demonstration of a prototype network system cellular base station in the Band 14 public safety LTE band during Super Bowl 50, covering the outdoor “NFL Experience” taking place on The Embarcadero in San Francisco, CA. The “NFL Experience” is an interactive theme park that will be hosted in numerous locations in the Bay Area during Super Bowl Week. Parallel Wireless has been asked to provide Band 14 coverage by the consortium known as BayRICS, the Bay Area Regional Interoperable Communications Systems Authority and the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (NCRIC). There is no commercial activity or mission-critical telecommunications support being provided as part of this demonstration. BayRICS strongly supports this use of Band Class 14 spectrum within the BayRICS geographic area for this limited purpose, as is shown in the attached Exhibit A (Letter from BayRICS). Parallel Wireless understands that proper review of an STA request may take several weeks, and is awaiting approval of the appropriate STA for the Levi’s Stadium location. However, Parallel Wireless was informed only two days ago of the need for additional Band 14 coverage, for the Super Bowl 50 “NFL Experience,” in downtown San Francisco, CA. Parallel Wireless respectfully requests consideration of this request and will provide all cooperation and assistance needed.
