Attachment File No. 0034-EX-CN-2016 1. Name, address, phone number (also email address and facsimile number, if available) of the applicant. SES Americom, Inc. Attn: Petra A. Vorwig 4 Research Way Princeton, NJ 08540 Phone: 202-478-7143 Mobile: 202-380-6323 email: petra.vorwig@ses.com 2. Description of why an experimental license is needed. SES is developing a vehicle-based platform that will support antennas capable of communicating with SES’s conventional Ku-band spectrum satellites located in geostationary orbit and Ka-band spectrum satellites operated in non-geostationary orbit by O3b Limited. The vehicle will be at a complete stop (vs. communications on the move) when communicating with the satellite(s). SES is seeking experimental authority to demonstrate and assess the use of these antennas to support various applications including Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance technologies and other applications designed to support US Government and non-governmental organizations. 3. Description of the operation to be conducted and its purpose. SES seeks experimental authority to test the antennas identified below and to evaluate their capabilities to support US Government requirements from fixed locations throughout the continental United States. The demonstrations will enable SES and its customers to evaluate the performance characteristics of the earth stations and associated applications. 4. Time and dates of proposed operation. SES requests a blanket experimental license for two years, from September 6, 2016 to September 5, 2018. SES will notify O3b, ViaSat Inc., EchoStar Corporation/Hughes, Inmarsat and any other US authorized Ka-band satellite operators at least seven days prior to any transmission, and provide emergency contact information. In the event any party experience harmful interference, SES will immediately cease transmissions. 5. Class(es) of station (fixed, mobile, fixed and mobile) and call sign of station (if applicable). The transmitting antennas will operate in fixed mode. 6. Description of the location(s) and , if applicable, geographical coordinates of the proposed operation.

Attachment File No. 0034-EX-CN-2016 SES requests authority to operate in the contiguous United States. SES will notify the FCC of the geographical coordinates of the demonstration site at least seven days prior to testing. In addition, when the earth stations will transmit in spectrum bands shared with terrestrial operators, SES will complete frequency coordination prior to testing. 7. Transmit equipment to be used, including name of manufacturer, model and number of units.
