Kymeta Corporation Application for STA for Experimental Authorization for Testing with Hughes’ Ka-Band GSO Satellite System From Germantown, MD and Redmond, WA Narrative Statement (1) Name, address, phone number (also e-mail address and facsimile number, if available) of the applicant. Bernd Friedrich Kymeta Corporation 12277 134th Court NE, Suite 100 Redmond, Washington 98052 Phone: 425-896-3703 Mobile: 703-340-5791 E-mail: bfriedrich@kymetacorp.com Copy to: Robert S. Koppel, Esq. Lukas Nace Gutierrez & Sachs LLP 8300 Greensboro Drive, Suite 1200 McLean, VA 22102 Phone: 703-584-8669 E-mail: bkoppel@fcclaw.com (2) Description of why an STA is needed. Kymeta is developing a microwave antenna technology that could significantly improve performance and lower costs in commercial deployments. Grant of the STA will allow Kymeta to test its technology with the Hughes Ka-band geostationary satellite system. (3) Description of the operation to be conducted and its purpose. Kymeta will test its antenna technology from Hughes’ teleport in Germantown, Maryland and from Kymeta’s headquarters in Redmond, Washington. Kymeta will create a two-way satellite link with the EchoStar XVII satellite located at 107.1 WL. Testing will demonstrate the ability of the assembled RF technology to both transmit and receive a Ka-band digitally modulated transmission. (4) Time and dates of proposed operation. November 10, 2014 – May 10, 2015. Kymeta will notify ViaSat, DISH, Inmarsat, SES, and O3b, the other U.S. authorized Ka-band satellite operators, at least one week prior to any transmit testing, and provide emergency contact information. In the event that interference is reported, Kymeta will immediately cease transmissions.
