Applicant certification
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. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.

Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
This STA request is to support research and development efforts for next generation large bandwidth wireless communications systems. While the spectrum requested for use in this STA is not currently targeted for commercial deployment of a terrestrial communication system in the United States, the wireless technology that Qualcomm will be testing could operate in this or another frequency band.
Special Temporary Authority application - Information
Callsign:
WI9XHH
Class of Station:
FX
Nature of Service:
Experimental
Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The test network consists of four directional antennas that are oriented to create a small RF coverage area at Qualcomm’s Morehouse campus facility. In addition to using the four directional antennas that will be tilted downward towards the ground, the actual test area is surrounded by multi-story office buildings and parking structures in all directions to provide additional attenuation of the RF signal. Qualcomm also has completed RF simulations demonstrating that the test signals will be attenuated below -100 dBm at distances less than 700 meters from the test area. Testing is expected to occur periodically for six months from the STA grant date. Initial testing will measure RF propagation levels to validate the RF coverage simulation model provided in this STA application.
