Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
ATC TRS I, LLC (ATC) seeks FCC grant of Special Temporary Authority (STA) for 180 days to allow the use of an AirSpan radio identified as AirVelocity 1901 (AirVelocity 1901) as part of an experimental project on which ATC is collaborating with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This project is designed to test, totally within the confines of an indoor commercial mall in Las Vegas, Nevada, the performance of a private 5G wireless network, with the ultimate objective of deployment of hybrid public/private 5G wireless networks. Relevant technical specifications of the AirVelocity 1901 are shown in the body of this application. An STA is needed because the AirVelocity 1901, although it is nearing the end of its development phase, has yet to be certified under 47 C.F.R. Part 2 Subpart J. Specifically, grant of this request would allow ATC to accelerate 5G deployment efforts both through regular testing of the equipment at the mall and through testing during an upcoming event with substantial industry impact: AWS re:Invent beginning on November 28, 2022.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

ATC plans to conduct this experiment within the Miracle Mile Shops indoor mall located at 3663 South Las Vegas Boulevard (Miracle Mile). The project purpose is to facilitate the transition to 5G of wireless communications services provided to businesses and shoppers within the mall. An illustrative practical application of this testing of the private 5G network would be the activation and control of robotic in-store cleaners within mall stores after hours. The AirVelocity 1901 has been designed and built by well-established equipment manufacturer Airspan, based in Boca Raton, Florida (https://www.airspan.com/) to be compatible with indoor 5G wireless communications. Existing radios currently deployed at Miracle Mile are compatible with private indoor 3G and 4G DAS and Wi-Fi networks, but not 5G. During this experimental testing, fourteen 5G-compatible indoor AirVelocity 1901 radios would be deployed at different locations within Miracle Mile.
