O3b Networks USA, LLC Ka-Band Earth Station – Asheville, NC Frequency Coordination Report 28 GHz 1. Summary of Results On behalf of Ob3 Networks, Comsearch performed a coordination notice for all existing and proposed terrestrial licenses within the coordination contours of their proposed Ka-Band earth station in Asheville, NC, which will transmit at 28 GHz1. Prior-notification letters were sent to the licensees and a copy of the notification data is provided in section four of this report. The earth station coordination was finalized on July 30, 2014. No objections were received from any of the incumbent 28 GHz licensees. Our notification to the LMDS incumbents was performed under the assumption that the earth station would be operating on a secondary basis to LMDS Block A operations and a contact at O3b Networks has been provided in case any concerns may arise in the future. 2. 28 GHz Common Carrier and LTTS Coordination In accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations, the Ka-Band earth station in Asheville, NC was prior-coordinated by Comsearch. A notification letter and datasheets for this earth station were sent to the following 28 GHz common carrier fixed microwave licensee on June 26, 2014. This licensee is authorized to operate temporary fixed operations from 27.5 – 29.5 GHz on a nationwide basis. Licensee Authorized Geographic Area Verizon Continental US A notification letter and datasheets for the Ka-Band earth station in Asheville, NC were also sent to the following 28 GHz local television transmission licensee on June 26, 2014.
