Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
ICO would like to demonstrate the potential performance characteristics and capabilities of its ATC at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 7-11, 2008. ICO would use a cellsite-on-wheels (COW) to simulate a terrestrial repeater site at locations around the site of the Convention Center and other CES venues. A special temporary authority of three weeks is necessary to prepare for and conduct demonstrations of a terrestrial repeater that would operate at various sites on or near Paradise Road, for demonstrations of potential ATC capabilities to CES attendees. An extension of the current special temporary authority is necessary to continue simulation of a terrestrial repeater site in Las Vegas, in preparation for further experiments and testing from fixed sites.

Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Demonstration of potential ATC (Ancillary Terrestrial Component) capabilities at the January 7-11, 2008 Consumer Electronics Show This application seeks approval of special temporary authority to use a COW at sites (e.g. parking lots) on or near Paradise Road, Las Vegas, Nevada, in order to conduct demonstrations of potential ATC capabilities at the January 7-11, 2008 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The tests will permit the use of a terrestrial repeater at various sites near the Convention Center and other CES venues, so that ICO can demonstrate the potential capabilities of its ATC to CES attendees in and around CES venues. Continued use of the COWs after the end of CES will permit ICO to perform additional drive-testing of RF characteristics and data-gathering that will allow ICO to refine and adjust prediction tools.
