    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 experimental Ka-
Band earth station in Camp Roberts, California, 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 January 8, 2016.

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.


    2. 28 GHz Common Carrier and LTTS Coordination
In accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations, the Ka-Band earth station in Camp Roberts,
California 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 licensees on
November 23, 2015. These licensees are authorized to operate temporary fixed operations
from 27.5 to 29.5 GHz on a statewide or nationwide basis.
