"AT&T requests a two-year experimental license to conduct proof of concept experiments of an Intent Based Network (IBN) for uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) use cases. The proposed experiments will include:
[1] Transmissions in C-Band frequencies licensed to AT&T affiliates (i.e., 3840 – 3920 MHz).
[2] Transmissions from fixed stations will be over the Ericsson commercial Radio AIR 6449 B77D, which operates at up to a maximum effective radiated power (ERP) of 78 dBm, with antenna beamwidth 120 deg. H, 15 deg. V. Those fixed station transmissions will occur from up to three locations at any one time from the attached potential site lists . . .."

Cornell University "seeks a conventional experimental radio authorization to operate a limited fleet of small multirotor UAVs and supporting ground stations in the 5905 – 5925 MHz band. 5.9 GHz CV2X modules will be installed on each aircraft to evaluate low-latency, high-reliability airborne vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-ground links that serve as the communications backbone for project’s research into next-generation" unmanned traffic management. "Up to 8 airborne nodes will transmit at or below 23 dBm (0.2 W) EIRP within a flight envelope limited to 120 m AGL. All operations will comply with applicable FAA regulations and established aviation safety procedures and will cease immediately upon any credible report of harmful interference."

"Accenture LLP (“Accenture”) seeks experimental authority to launch and operate the Reinvention-1 cubesat spacecraft to conduct technical evaluations of emerging space cybersecurity technology within the low-earth orbit environment. This mission will include assessment of post-quantum cryptographic solutions and zero-trust networking architectures along with experiments to evaluate these defenses against adversaries’ capabilities to attack and disrupt commercial satellite operations. The testing under this experimental license will comprise fundamental security experiments that will support future manned missions to space. Moreover, the experimental license will support Accenture in developing future dual-use technology, which will support innovation and growth in both military applications and commercial applications."

NTT DOCOMO deploys Nokia AI-powered cloud-based network optimization.
"With MantaRay AutoPilot, DOCOMO simply specifies desired quality targets, known as “intents,” and the AI then analyzes base station quality and performance to determine the optimal parameter design and execution schedules."

In Orbit Aerospace Inc.: "The purpose of this operation is to validate the RF link budget of a drone-mounted AM/FM broadcast transmitter payload developed under U.S. Navy contract. Specifically, to verify adequate received signal strength at a ground receiver located up to 1 mile from the transmitter operating at approximately 400 feet AGL, on frequencies 1000 kHz (AM) and 100.0 MHz (FM) at transmit powers of approximately 36mW and 16mW respectively."
