Further, operations must terminate immediately upon notification of such interference. 9. Operations with the 03b Limited system in the 28.35—28.4 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band are on a secondary basis and as such must not cause harmfulinterference to primary users. Further, these operations cannot claim protection from harmful interference caused by primary users. 10. Operations with the 03b Limited system in the 18.8—19.3 GHz (space—to—Earth) and 28.6—29.1 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bandsare subject to the sharing method specified in Establishment of Policies and Service Rulesfor the Non—Geostationary Satellite Orbit, Fixed Satellite Service in the Ka— band, Report and Order,IB Docket 02—19, 18 FCC Red 14708 (2003) and 47 C.F.R. § 25.261. 11. If O3b Limited makes changes to the orbital positions of its non—active NGSO space stations on whichit is only performing TT&C, it may do so without prior Commission approval, provided: (a) The 03b system will continue to meet the conditions specified in this grant after the repositioning. (b) The repositioning will not increase risk of harmful interferenceto other systems not permitted by coordination agreements. (c) O3b will not request increased interference protection because of the repositioning. (d) O3b will monitor collision risk during the maneuver and take any necessary evasive measures. (¢) Any change oforbital altitude entailed by the repositioning will not exceed 150 kilometers in extent or 60 days in duration. If 03b seeks to make any changes to its constellation as specified in this grant, such as changes to the active satellites or activating a spare satellite at a location offset from the 9 equally—spaced locations, it must receive a modification ofits market access grant before commencing communications with U.S.— licensed earth stations pursuant to the changes or new activation. 12. O3b Limited‘s request for a waiver of Sections 25.137(c) and 25.157 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.137(c) and 25.157, regarding modified processing round and band segmentation procedures, is GRANTED. 03b Limited will employ satellite diversity at low to medium latitudes, which will enable it to share spectrum with other NGSO FSS systems. At higher latitudes, O3b Limited will employ a band segmentation approach to accommodate other systems if interference occurs. We grant these waivers given the opportunities for additional entrants to operate in O3b Limited‘s requested frequency bands. 13. 03b Limited‘s requestfor a waiverof Section 25.210(i)(1) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.210()(1), is GRANTED. Section 25.210(i)(1) requires spacestation antennas in the Fixed—Satellite

SAT—LOI—20141029—00118 and SAT—AMD—20150115—00004 Call Sign $2935 Service to be designed to meet a cross—polarization isolation of 30 dB within the primary coverage area of the antenna. We grant this waiver with the condition that O3b Limited must accept interference to its non—compliant operations caused by space stations that comply with Section 25.210(i)(1). 14. O3b Limited‘s request for a waiver of Section 25.145(c) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.145(c), is GRANTED. Section 25.145(c) requires Ka—band NGSO systems to provide service coverage to (i) all locations as far north as 70 degrees latitude and as far south as 55 degrees latitude for at least 75% of every 24 hour period and (ii) on a continuous basis throughout the fifty states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We grant this waiver because O3b Limited states that its system operates in an equatorial orbit as opposed to inclined orbit and as a result, due to look angle constraints, there is a limitation on the northernmost and southernmost latitudes that can be served by its system, providing less extensive coverage than the geographic coverage areas required in Section 25.145(c)." 15. This grant is based upon the finding that O3b Limited is and will be subject to direct and effective regulation by the United Kingdom concerning orbital debris mitigation. This grant will remain effective only to the extent that launch and space operations continue to be authorized by the United Kingdom Space Agency under the United Kingdom Outer Space Act. 16. We grant 03b Limited‘s amendment, IBFS File No. SAT—AMD—20150115—00004, to allow temporary U.S. market access using eight active satellites and four spare satellites (a "8+4" configuration). O3b Limited states that this configuration is necessary to permit two of the spare satellites to be drifted to their eventual orbital positions required for the "9+3" configuration.s Accordingly, O3b Limited may access the U.S. market while operating its satellites in this temporary "8+4" configuration, subject to the conditions in this grant. 17. O3b Limited has 30 days from the date of this action to decline this grant as conditioned. Failure to respond within this period will constitute formal acceptance ofthis grant as conditioned. 18. This action is taken pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, and is effective immediately. Petitions for reconsideration under Section 1.106 or applications for review under Section 1.115 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.106, 1.115, may be filed within 30 days of the public notice indicating that this action was taken.

The FSS service has a secondary allocation and this operation seems consistent with that. Rather than outright dismissing the application I think it would make sense to have them clarify whether they are in fact operating with that satellite and confirm that they’ve coordinated with any LMDS licenses in the area. I’ll see if I can find the information on the O3B satellite grant and forward it shortly.
