Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
An STA is necessary to demonstrate radio capability to US Air Force. Contract Number: FA8735-21-9-0001. Air Force POC: Lt. Anthony Orezzoli , email: anthony.orezzoli.1@us.af.mil, Phone: (781) 225-3605
Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Demonstrate radio capability to US Air Force. This FCC approved (ABZ99FT4096) Motorola radio equipment will be operated for test purposes, on an intermittent basis only. The intent is to radiate at much lower power level than the radio is capable of in order to avoid interfering with incumbent stations. The radio can transmit up to 50W maximum but the intent is to operate it at 25W and use the maximum of 1W during testing. In addition, the test area is surrounded by thick trees and heavy foliage which will help reduce signal levels even further.
