Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The Boeing Company (?Boeing?) has been operating the Seatel 2403 antenna for testing and service validation under experimental temporary authority granted by the Commission (see Call Sign WD2XFK, File No. 0360-EX-ST-2004). Experimental authority has also been granted for similar types of Seatel antennas used in the maritime mobile context (see File Nos. 0047-EX-ML-2003 and 0280-EX-ST-2003, Call Sign WD2XAU; see also File No. 0300-EX-ST-2003, Call Sign WB9XUG). Boeing seeks continued authority to operate the Seatel 2403 antenna under the new STA in precisely the same manner as authorized in its existing STA as well as authority to operate an additional model of antenna, the Melco RN211709. Specifically, for the Seatel antenna, Boeing seeks to operate up to ten (10) terminals at a maximum transmit ERP of 19.5 kW (42.9 dBW), which results in an off-axis EIRP that is significantly less than that of a single routinely licensed VSAT antenna. For the Melco antenna, Boeing seeks to operate up to ten (10) terminals at a maximum transmit power of 28.8 kW (44.6 dBW), which results in an off-axis EIRP that is significantly less than that of a single routinely licensed VSAT antenna. In addition, Boeing expressly accepts all of the conditions included in its existing STA. Boeing anticipates conducting limited experiments pursuant to OET authority until such time as the International Bureau grants authority for permanent ESV operations. The attached narrative statement provides a technical description and notes the public benefits of the proposed ESV operations.
