On June 7, 2017, the Satellite Division granted, with conditions, the request of Iridium Constellation LLC for special temporary authority for 180
days. Iridium was authorized to conduct telemetry, tracking, and command operations in the 19.4-19.6 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 29.1-29.3 GHz
(Earth-to-space) frequency bands necessary to transit and maintain up to 12 of its first-generation, non-geostationary, mobile-satellite service
satellites as in-orbit spare satellites at an altitude of 763 km. Iridium was also authorized to maneuver first-generation satellites to replace other
first-generation satellites on a temporary basis.

INFORMATIVE
SAT-LOI-20160208-00016                 S2954          ViaSat, Inc.
On October 5, 2016, the Satellite Division granted market access to ViaSat, Inc. to provide Fixed-Satellite Service in the United States
using a proposed space station, VIASAT-133W (Call Sign S2954), at the 132.9° W.L. orbital location under the authority of the United
Kingdom. ViaSat did not post the bond as required by Section 25.165 of the Commission's rules and a condition to its market access grant.
Accordingly, the grant of market access became null and void on November 4, 2016. The market access grant specified the 18.3-18.8
GHz, 18.8-19.3 GHz, and 19.7-20.2 GHz (space-to-Earth), and 28.1-28.35 GHz, 28.35-28.6 GHz, 28.6-29.1 GHz, and 29.5-30.0 GHz
(Earth-to-space) frequency bands. Effective 2:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, June 13, 2017 parties may file for space station authorizations and
U.S. market access that otherwise would have been mutually exclusive with ViaSat's grant. Such requests filed prior to this date and time
will be dismissed as premature without prejudice to refiling.
