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:
Test and demonstrate that two fixed remote terminals can operate simultaneously as VSAT Remotes on a TDMA VSAT network. The remote terminals will use a new antenna which has not been tested on the VSAT network before.

Class of Station:
FX
Nature of Service:
Experimental
Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Two remote terminals will be configured locally but controlled remotely from a VSAT hub located at a Gateway facility in Lino Lakes Minnesota. The Gateway and VSAT hub baseband equipment is operated by Inmarsat, FCC call sign E120072. The VSAT Gateway baseband equipment is a TDMA gateway manufactured by iDirect (Evolution Series). The remotes will use a compatible TDMA Modem (iDirect e8350). During all testing, the remote terminal RF transmissions will be monitored locally and may be disabled locally as well as remotely. Technicians will manually align the antenna elevation and azimuth angles to the satellite prior to transmission. The antenna will be fixed to a non-motorized mount and remain stationary during transmission. Also, the antenna radiation pattern is fixed and is not electronically steerable. The first test objective is to verify that two remote terminals can communicate simultaneously nearly error free to the hub equipment. The second objective is to optimize transmit signal parameters for peak efficiency and data throughput while operating at peak power. This may require varying error correction coding rates and symbol rates. Symbol rates may range between 2 Msps to 7 Msps.
