Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith.

Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Proxim requests STA in order to test the operation of its experimental protoypes -- previously authorized by the Commission in the 4.9 GHz band -- in the band of 5.15-5.75 GHz. This authorization is intended for the exclusive purpose of developing radio equipment for export to be employed by stations under the jurisdiction of a foreign government. The operation consists of up to ten (10) base units at various locations in California in order to supplement Proxims demonstration of its new wireless bridge system. As part of its ongoing development, Proxim seeks the ability to test its devices for potential European customers, and Proxim seeks this authority in order to gain vaulable feedback about its devices using the frequency bands required by Europeans radiocommunications rules. Proxim is seeking STA because the scope and duration of its proposed operations warrant only temporary authority under Part 5 of the Commission?s rules and, furthermore, because the units being tested in the instant program would ultimately be exported to European markets once certified for use there. Operation of the subject facilities is thus not permitted under the procedures set forth under the testing authority in Part 15 of the Commission?s rules. Its pilot programs have proven so successful that Proxim sees the potential for application of its technology to members of police, fire, and other public safety agencies in Europe, and thus seeks authority to test those devices in real terrain conditions. Accordingly, Proxim is herein seeking authority in order to expand its pilot program. Furthermore, because it does not have overseas development facilities, Proxim must test its equipment for European use at its California facilities.

Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Proxim requests expansion of its STA in order to demonstrate the operation of its experimental protoypes, previously authorized by the Commission in the 4.9 GHz band, in the band of 5.15-5.75 GHz. The operation consists of up to ten (10) base units at various locations in California in order to supplement Proxims demonstration of its new wireless bridge system. In particular, Proxim has been testing the dynamic integration of the system within existing public safety wireless networks with especial interest to the application of the wireless bridge to emergency vehicles who would be permitted access to a network at different locations in order to tap into critical safety-of-life information. As a function of these demonstrations, there has been considerable interest among potential European customers, and Proxim seeks this expansion of its existing statewide authority for California in order to test and gain vaulable feedback about its devices using the frequency bands typically required by Europeans radiocommunications rules. Proxim, Inc. requests authorization, pursuant to Section 5.61 of the Commissions Rules, to expand operation of its experimental prototype. Proxim has been operating its equipment, which consists of temporary-fixed base units, at various locations in California in order to demonstrate the functionality of the equipment to potential customers and to gain valuable testing information for implementation in its final product. Proxim is seeking STA because the scope and duration of its proposed operations warrant only temporary authority under Part 5 of the Commission?s rules and, furthermore, because the units being tested in the instant program would ultimately be distributed to European markets and certified for use there. Operation of the subject facilities is thus not permitted under the procedures set forth under the testing authority in Part 15 of the Commission?s rules. Its pilot programs have proven so successful that Proxim sees the potential for application of its technology to members of police, fire, and other public safety agencies in Europe, and thus seeks authority to test those devices in real terrain conditions. Accordingly, Proxim is herein seeking authority in order to expand its pilot program, the benefits of which are proving significant for Proxim and its potential customers. Like its initial request, the instant request for STA is supported by good cause. Proxim continues to develop a new wireless-to-ethernet data communications bridge. Proxim has been very successfully demonstrating the performance and capabilities of the system and believes that it will benefit from demonstrating and testing the equipment to additional potential customers before bringing its device to full-scale production.
