                                                                     FCC Application for STA
                                                                           0862-EX-ST-2017



              NARRATIVE STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF STA REQUEST

       Pursuant to Sections 5.3 and 5.61 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 5.3, 5.61
(2016), AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T”) hereby respectfully requests special temporary authority
(“STA”) beginning August 7, 2017, for the purpose of testing Licensed Assisted Access
(“LAA”) technologies and equipment. In support of this request, the following is shown:

   1) Applicant’s Name, Address, and Phone Number:

       AT&T Services, Inc.
       208 S. Akard St.
       Dallas, TX 75202
       (214) 757-3357

   2) Purpose of Operation and Explanation of Why an STA is Needed:

        Grant of STA is needed for AT&T to conduct initial tests of prototype LAA equipment
operating in the 5150-5250 MHz and 5725-5850 MHz bands while the FCC completes its review
and processing of pending applications for certification of the equipment. The experimentation
will allow AT&T to evaluate performance and determine customer acceptability during the
development, design, and pre-production phases of the equipment and will facilitate the eventual
widespread deployment of LAA.

        The company does not propose to conduct marketing trials under the requested STA.
None of the equipment is to be made available to members of the public, sold or leased or
advertised for sale or lease. No service is to be offered under this experimental authority.

   3) Time and Dates of Proposed Operation:

       August 7, 2017 through February 7, 2018.

   4) Class of Stations:

       During this testing, AT&T will deploy temporary fixed stations operation in the
unlicensed 5150-5250 MHz and 5725-5850 MHz bands.


                                                                          AT&T Services, Inc.
                                                                      FCC Application for STA
                                                                            0862-EX-ST-2017



   5) Locations of Proposed Operations:

        AT&T intends to conduct testing at up to eight locations in San Francisco and
Indianapolis. The addresses and approximate reference coordinates for each location as currently
proposed are listed in the table below. Fixed stations may also be operated intermittently at other
locations within a 5-kilometer radius of the center coordinates specified in the accompanying
application.

        No antennas will be mounted in a fashion that will require approval under FAA and
FCC rules and regulations. Although certain antennas will extend more than 6 meters above
the ground, none will extend more than 6 meters above a building and all antennas will be
either installed within a building or, if installed outdoors, shielded by existing manmade
structures, such as surrounding buildings, so as to prevent any hazard to air navigation.

   11) Protection Against Interference:

         AT&T does not expect its proposed operation to cause harmful interference. In the
unlikely event that AT&T receives a complaint of harmful interference, it will take immediate
action to address the interference, including if necessary discontinuing its operations. To
facilitate such action, if needed, the company has designated David Orloff, Director, RAN
Product Introduction, to act as the “stop buzzer” for this test. Mr. Orloff’s contact information is
provided below.

   12) Public Interest Statement:

       AT&T submits that issuance of experimental authority is in the public interest,
convenience, and necessity. Grant of this application will allow AT&T to evaluate
performance and determine customer acceptability during the development, design, and pre-
production phases of the equipment and will facilitate the eventual widespread deployment of
LAA.
