    1. Summary of Results
On behalf of O3b 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 Doral, Florida, 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 May 22, 2017.

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 non-interference basis in relation to primary LMDS Block A operations. A
contact at O3b Networks has been provided in case any concerns may arise in the future.

Verizon Wireless, while clearing the earth station for operation, noted that they have a pending
28 GHz 5G trial site in Doral, about a mile south-southeast of the east station site, which is
slated for June or July. At present, Verizon believes that the new Residence Inn by Marriot
Miami Airport West/Doral immediately south of the earth station site should block any
interference to their 5G test, but have forwarded this information in advance to the O3b NOC
contact as well as their contacts at Ericsson, who will be performing the 5G test on their behalf.


    2. 28 GHz Common Carrier and LTTS Coordination
In accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations, the Ka-Band earth station in Doral, Florida 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 April 20, 2017. This
licensee is authorized to operate temporary fixed operations from 27.5 to 29.5 GHz on a
statewide or nationwide basis.

A notification letter and datasheets for the Ka-Band earth station in Doral, Florida were also sent
to the following 28 GHz local television transmission licensee on April 20, 2017. This licensee is
authorized to operate temporary fixed operations from 27.5 to 29.5 GHz on a nationwide basis.
