Patrick Leary AVP WISP Markets Alvarion, Inc. o: 650.314.2628 c: 760.580.0080 Vonage: 650.641.1243 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Unger Sent: Monday, March 05, 2007 12:51 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] 3650, ok, so what's current status? If I remember correctly (and I hope anyone will jump in here with any necessary corrections to the following) it's a "Special Temporary Authorization". In the "Experimental Radio Service" which is the service that I believe is applicable to on-air testing of 3650 MHz transmitters, it is a temporary authorization to conduct the following types of operation: a) Experimentation in scientific or technical radio research. b) Experimentation under contractual agreement with the United States Government, or for export purposes. c) Communications essential to a research project. d) Technical demonstrations of equipment or techniques. e) Field strength surveys by persons not eligible for authorization in any other service. f) Demonstrations of equipment to prospective purchasers by persons engaged in the business of selling radio equipment. g) Testing of equipment in connection with production or regulatory approval of such equipment. h) Development of radio technique, equipment or engineering data not related to any existing or proposed service, including field or factory testing or calibration of equipment. i) Development of radio technique, equipment, operational data or engineering data related to an existing or proposed radio service. j) Limited market studies. k) Types of experiments that are not specifically covered under paragraphs (a) through (j) will be considered upon demonstrations of need for such additional types of experiments. Before applying for an STA, it's required to obtain, read, and understand Part 5 (Experimental Radio Service) of Code of Federal Regulations 47 (CFR 47). CFR 47 can be obtained from the Government Printing Office. jack Mark McElvy wrote: > What is STA? > > 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.
