Harris has experienced technical issues with the multiplexer used in conjunction with the ASTI program which is resulting in timing and synch loss issues. The temporary installation of the 2.4m Flyaway C-Band terminal in Prospect, Connecticut will provide a platform to evaluate the technical issues associated with the technologies that are being deployed as part of the ASTI program. Harris submits that a grant of this application will serve the public interest because it will assist the FAA's mission of ensuring flight safety and will further the ASTI and NAS modernization programs. 1 If Harris is unable to rectify the underlying issues subject to this STA request an additional extension will be sought. 2 Harris Corporation, serves as the current FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure contractor (see attached letter).
