Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
OneWeb Technologies seeks special temporary authority (“STA”) for 6 months beginning November 25, 2023, or as soon as possible thereafter, to test connectivity with a new electronically steered antenna (“ESA”) using the operational satellites of the OneWeb non-geostationary, fixed-satellite service (“NGSO FSS”) constellation.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  OneWeb Technologies seeks experimental authority to test and validate the performance characteristics of the ESA user terminals at the locations specified in Section 6 of this narrative. These over-the-air tests will be conducted using satellites in the authorized OneWeb NGSO FSS constellation for the purpose of demonstrating multiple functions of the antenna, including: (i) tracking and connectivity capabilities, (ii) handover between satellites; (iii) half-duplex operation and time synchronization; and (iv) throughput speed versus modulation. Completion of these tests will enable OneWeb Technologies to optimize the experimental ESA, thereby benefiting its customers around the world.

Certification
Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.
