Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
In last years 6 GHz Report & Order, the Commission designated additional spectrum for unlicensed operations, envisioning its use for new innovative technologies and services that will advance the Commissions goal of making broadband connectivity available to all Americans, especially those in rural and underserved areas. Unlicensed Use of the 6 GHz Band, 35 FCC Rcd 3852, 3853 (2020). Through this application for an experimental license, La Canada Wireless Association seeks to advance these goals by testing available equipment across the UNII-5 band for potential delivery of enhanced fixed wireless broadband services.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

The experimental operations will involve field deployment and testing of Mimosa Networks 6 GHz radio technology on 1 tower at a rural site in central Santa Fe County, NM, These operations will evaluate the greater throughput capabilities available in these bands using 80/160 MHz channels. The program will also use up to 6 remote units at member locations. La Canada Wireless Association will work without causing harmful interference to incumbent users. La Canada Wireless Association will work with any nearby licensed incumbents that it identifies, based on information provided in the FCCs databases, to ensure that its operations will avoid any harmful impact on such existing users.
