AT&T Services, Inc. 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.

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.
