("GSI"), by its attorney, hereby requests Special Temporary Authorization pursuant to Section 5.56 of the Commission‘s rules to test and demonstrate mobile earth stations over the INMARSAT—B satellite system. GSI requests that authority be granted immediately until appropriate action is taken on its application for permanent experimental authority which is being filed simultaneously with this Request. GSI is an established company which designs, manufacturers and markets portable satellite terminals for image, voice data and video services. GSI‘s entire portable terminal system may be transported in one case (even as airline luggage) and its intended for use in the health and safety field; for example, it may be utilized by public safety and crisis officials to establish effective temporary communications service. GSI‘s temporary operation of the subject earth station will allow demonstration of its sophisticated satellite transmissions technology alternatives. This Request would allow GSI to test and demonstrate its products until permanent authorization is granted. Grant of this Request would serve the public interest by facilitating the development and demonstration of satellite communications network alternatives. GSI respectfully requests that its Request be granted as soon as possible so that it can meet the customer demands and requests for this new and innovative demonstration. GSI is preparing to do special application testing for several government and commercial customers including INS, CBS News, and others that require on the air verification of performance of the applications within the next 30 days. In order to meet these vital requests, GSI is seeking this Request for temporary authority.

In accordance with Section 5.56 of the Commission rules, GSI submits the following information: 1) Globecomm Systems, Inc. 45 Oser Avenue Hauppauge, New York 11788—3816 2) See above regarding need for special action. (3&4) GSI wishes to conduct testing and demonstrations of its technology to further mobile satellite technology using its small portable earth stations. 5) GSI is seeking temporary authorization until permanent authorization is granted. 6) GSI seeks to test its mobile earth stations using an INMARSAT satellite. 7) Fixed. 8) GSI will be using its own transmitting equipment, Model Number GSI—3001. 9) GSI seeks to utilize the following frequencies: 1626.5—1646.5 MHz. 10) The emission will be 20KG1W. 11) The overall height of the antenna structure will be ground level. GSI simultaneously files its application for permanent authority and has enclosed a copy hereto for the Commission‘s convenience. Until such application is granted, GSI submits this Request and has attached an Anti—Drug Certification Statement. A check for Forty—Five Dollars ($45.00) is attached hereto with FCC Form 159 to serve as the appropriate filing fee and form. The appropriate information has also been submitted to COMSAT to receive their waiver for use of the INMARSAT—B satellite. A copy is attached hereto for your convenience.

Exhibit I Globecomm Systems Inc. Application ( Supplement to Question #10 ) (a) As a manufacturer of Inmarsat—B Land Mobile Earth Stations, Globecomm Systems Inc. is constantly developing and testing new applications for our customers. These include global wireless access using Inmarsat—B high speed data services to access corporate LANs, the internet, and other types of wide area networking applications from areas where alternative methods of access are not available. The equipment used includes the GSI—3001 Inmarsat—B MES, Cisco routers, ISDN terminal equipment, H.320 video conferencing systems and other types of network equipment. ~ (b) The specific objectives sought to be accomplished include the verification of network optimization, configuration, and performance with specific emphasis on the impact of satellite delays on various protocols including TCP/IP and other IP based technology. (c) While a lot of work has been done using TCP/IP protocols over Ku and C—band systems, there has not been as much over mobile systems using high speed data rates of 64 Kbps and higher. IP protocols over satellite is a major area of interest for many corporate and government users and this will be a major focus of this development and test effort.
