August 13, 2009 Via Electronic Filing (IBFS) Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12"" Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 Re: Ex Parte Letter SkyTerra Subsidiary LLC File Nos. SAT—MOD—20090429—00046, SAT—MOD—20090429—00047, SES— MOD—20090429—00536 Dear Ms. Dortch: We are pleased to inform you that, in connection with the above—referenced applications of SkyTerra Subsidiary LLC ("SkyTerra") to modify its Ancillary Terrestrial Component authorization (the "ATC Modification Application"), the U.S. GPS Industry Council ("Council") and SkyTerra have agreed on out—of—band emissions ("OOBE") limits for the operation of low— power base stations with a maximum EIRP of —4 dBW/MHz that are intended to be deployed indoors ("femtocells") and personal computer ("PC") data cards communicating with such base stations.‘ Specifically, SkyTerra will limit OOBE for femtocells and data cards communicating with such femtocells to less than —114.7 dBW/MHz and —111.7 dBW/MHz in the 1559—1605 MHz band, respectively. These limits are intended to reduce the potential for harmful interference to GPS receivers operating indoors, thereby addressing the concerns expressed by the Council in its Comments regarding the ATC Modification Application." SkyTerra and the Council therefore urge the Commission to adopt the OOBE limits set forth in this letter as a license condition to the grant of the ATC Modification Application. ‘ The reference to "PC data cards" is intended to mean RF devices that work in conjunction with a PC or laptop computer, including external PC devices, such as USB modems, Type II PC cards, and ExpressCards, and internal PC devices that provide the same data communications functionality as such external devices. The reference is not intended to include handsets that are capable of voice and data transmissions independent of a PC, even if such device could function as an external PC modem. * See Comments of the U.S. GPS Industry Council (July 10, 2009). The Council is separately filing a letter withdrawing its Comments, as a result of this agreement. 401365679v3
