Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Axiom Aerospace LLC (Axiom) requests an experimental Special Temporary Authority (STA) for 180 days commencing January 03, 2023 to conduct ground testing in support of Viasat, B737-900 Generation2 Ka In-Flight Entertainment/Connectivity (IFE/C) installation. for off-board connectivity for wireless communications links for transmit portable devices (T- PEDs), such as Wi-Fi enabled phones and laptop computers. Using low-power wireless transceivers onboard the aircraft, Viasat IFE/C processes passenger communications for transmission to ground networks via satellite communications networks. Authority is sought for testing that will examine the potential for interference to airplane avionics and communications from passenger-carried T-PEDs. These tests will involve electromagnetic interference (EMI) ground testing of simulated T-PED RF transmissions in the aircraft cabin and will be conducted in several frequency Wi-Fi bands, in which T-PEDS are authorized to operate in the United States. These tests will be conducted onboard parked aircraft and are designed to gather data on the aircraft operations and performance in order to determine if the existing aircraft system will operate normally with simulated RF transmissions. Axiom has been contracted by Viasat to perform the proposed T-PED testing in support of Viasat FAA certification efforts to install Viasat Generation 2 Ka IFE/C system on B737-900 aircraft. Axiom has 10 years of experience in conducting these types of tests and uses personal that have worked on these types of projects at the FAA as well as AirCell Gogo. Axiom owns the required test equipment and is Subject Matter Expert in performing aircraft T-PED testing.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  The proposed experimental T-PED EMI ground testing is needed to support Federal Aeronautics Administration (FAA) certification of Viasat aircraft wireless connectivity systems and associated equipment. FAA regulations (14 C.F.R. § 91.21) stipulate that the aircraft operator demonstrate that onboard electronic devices, such as T- PEDs, not interfere with critical aircraft avionics systems. Industry documents, such as EUROCAE ED-130, RTCA DO-294, and RTCA DO-307,1 provide guidelines on how to test avionics systemsÂ’ susceptibility to RF signals on board airplanes. The recommended tests involve the simulation of multiple T-PEDs transmitting simultaneously within the aircraft cabin across several frequencies that are used by mobile wireless and Wi-Fi equipment. The requested experimental STA will assist Viasat and its partners in assessing the potential interference issues associated with the use of T-PEDs aboard commercial aircraft and developing the technical and operational requirements necessary to mitigate any potential interference issues to airplane avionics and communications. Axiom seeks an experimental STA for 180 days, commencing on May 17, 2022, to conduct the ground testing described above. As further described below, the proposed testing schedule is dependent on the availability of aircraft. Axiom has confirmed that a first aircraft is available for testing as of January 03, 2023.
