Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Dish wishes to test technology feature of Carrier aggregation to provide high throughput in 600 MHz band by combining its A block license with E and F blocks owned by Comcast using this STA. Dish 600 MHz licenses will provide critical low-band coverage. Grant of this STA will deliver important public interest benefits. In particular, the STA will enable DISH to test ability to achieve high throughput for some applications.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Testing carrier aggregation for 5G technology. In Nashville, DISH holds the 600 MHz A block. However, DISH anticipates needing more low band spectrum in some markets to meet customer demand in the future. When and if additional 600 MHz spectrum becomes available, either when the Commission auctions unassigned spectrum or through future partnerships, DISH plans to use carrier aggregation at the market level to combine multiple 600 MHz assets to add capacity and improve data throughput speeds.
