Special Temporary Authority. These are temporary use permits issued by the FCC, typically to use pieces of frequency not publicly generally available. Such use is limited to testing purposes, most often to learn and develop technical aspects of a new system in development. Commercial use (revenue generating use) is strictly prohibited.

Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Leary Sent: Monday, March 05, 2007 2:08 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: RE: [WISPA] 3650, ok, so what's current status? You are trying to wind me up aren't you George? :) Speaking to the community at large: The good folks at the FCC lab in MD are already buried. In part, some of this is because of frivolous and disingenuous STA filings. Your average simple STA used to take about 2 months tops to get approved. The same STA now takes over 1/2 a year. And remember, this is the same lab that is directly approving/certifying 5.4 GHz gear. In other words, for every garbage STA the lab must process, everything the lab legitimately needs to do only gets pushed out and delayed. Yes, it tweaks me to see so many processes abused; it is symptomatic of the disregard by some for FCC rules. And yes, there is abuse of STAs at the hands of some operators (not just some WISPs). Two years ago I could point to no such abuse by our industry. And yes, I know I sound like a broken CD player, stuck on repeat.
