Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
On January 26, 2012, Google Inc. (?Google?) was granted special temporary authority (STA) to test a next-generation personal communications device (Call Sign WF9XKU). The STA was extended to December 15, 2012, see File No. 0448-EX-ST-2012, in order to ensure that Google could continue testing until receipt of equipment authorization, which Google anticipated receiving in the fourth quarter of this year. Google now expects to receive equipment authorization early in the first quarter of 2013, having made minor changes to the device. Consequently, Google requests a brief extension of the STA, until January 31, 2013, so that it may continue operations pending receipt of authorization. Google also requests approval to make minor changes to the number of devices currently approved at two locations, without changing the total number of devices.
Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Testing throughput and stability of home WiFi networks using a next generation personal communication device. Please see Attachment 1 for narrative response.
