Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The equipment in this trial consists of two experimental UHF-band software-defined radio units designed and built by Rice University in cooperation with VUUM LLC. Since this equipment is NOT FCC licensed (it is experimental, under development, and not intended for commercial use), an FCC experimental license and manual operation with an FCC certified spectrum database from either Google or Spectrum Bridge is required for over the air operation.

Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The equipment in this trial consists of two experimental UHF-band software-defined radio units designed and built by Rice University in cooperation with VUUM LLC separated by no more than 1 km distance. The demonstration and measurement, lasting approximately one hour, will consist of sending bidirectional packetized data from both nodes in order to demonstrate and test the performance of a broadband, long-range date link in the challenging spectral environment of the east end of Long Island along the coast and farm land in Water Mill, NY. The transit waveform is 5 MHz TDD OFDM at transmit powers less than 100 mW in order to conform with Title 47 CFR Part 15. The exact dates are July 1 to July 6 and with the possibility of additional dates later in July and we would like to obtain permission to operate the demo and measurement during that window of time.
