Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. Request for Special Temporary Authority to Operate In—Store Signal Boosters in the Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service Dear Ms. Dortch: Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. ("Sirius"), pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 25.120,‘ hereby requests Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to operate up to 5,000 in—store signal boosters with an Effective Isotropically Radiated Power ("EIRP") of 0.0001 watts in its licensed frequency band (2320—2332.5 MHz) at retail outlets. This STA is requested for a period of 180 days or until the date on which permanent rules become effective for the operation of Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service ("SDARS") terrestrial repeaters, whichever occurs first. The Commission already has granted Sirius STA to operate up to 5,000 in—store signal boosters with an EIRP of 0.0001 watts in its licensed frequency band. By this application, Sirius seeks STA to operate an additional 5,000 in—store signal boosters. The additional boosters requested herein will include both the type previously approved by the Commission* as well as a new type which, like the previously authorized boosters, will amplify the satellite and terrestrial signals of both Sitius and XM Radio, Inc. ("XM") within retail outlets." The additional boosters will enable Sirius (and XM) to meet the increased demand for deployment 1 Sirius has filed this STA request, FCC Forms 312 and 159, and a $2,535.00 filing fee electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System. 2 See Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. Requestfor Special Temporary Authority to Operate In—Store Signal Boosters in the Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service, File No. SAT—STA—20030411—00075 (grant stamp with conditions issued June 26, 2003). 3 Sirius notes that XM is filing concurrently an application for an STA to operate these signal boosters in its licensed frequency band, 2332.5—2345 MHz.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch June 1, 2005 Page 2 of boosters in additional retail outlets. Further, many of the new boosters will employ improved technology that permits operation using one, rather than two, receive antennas. Accordingly, grant of the requested STA will serve the public interest. Technical Information. The additional boosters requested herein will include both the type previously approved by the Commission as well as a new type. With respect to the new type, these boosters, like the previously approved in—store signal boosters, which are essentially S—band radio frequency amplifiers, will transmit inside of retail stores. However, these new in—store signal boosters will require only one receive antenna, whereas the current boosters employ two receive antennas, as shown in the figure below: | t00° retos exbie ESS } 42 dfi LHCP Antenna Comtines 148 Inina Amp Inlie Amp DC bypass DC bypass w se Lau 0e 748ic panl Current System

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch June 1, 2005 Page 3 ©$ £8 Tdes 28 0e 748 panel Proposed New System In all other respects, the technical parameters for these new in—store signal boosters will be identical to the current boosters. As detailed in Exhibit A, an illustrative Instailation Manual, a single in—store receive antenna will be used to amplify SDARS satellite signals and, in some cases, terrestrial rebroadcast signals. The signals are received by this antenna located on the roof or mounted on the outside walls of the stores and are fed via coaxial cable to an inline amplifier and subsequently to the in—store antenna for amplification. Retail stores will receive an Installation Manual along with the in—store signal boosters and will be required to install the boosters pursuant to the manual. In Exhibit B, Sirius provides a list of technical parameters for the in—store signal boosters it seeks to operate pursuant to this STA. These technical parameters are the same for both the previously approved and new boosters. Sirius has included the following information: (1) antenna type; (2) antenna beamwidth; (3) total EIRP; and (4) approximate maximum height Above Ground Level (AGL). Consistent . with its prior application, however, Sirius has not included geographic coordinates for each of these in—store signal boosters." * Sirius notes that the manufacturers of these boosters may change, but the specifications will remain the same.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch June 1, 2005 Page 4 The location of each in—store signal booster does not constitute part of the "full particulars of the proposed operation" which must be submitted with an application for STA.‘ Because the in—store signal boosters will operate at such a low EIRP that they will not cause blanketing interference to any Wireless Communications Service ("WCS") receivers, even ones operated very close to the signal boosters, there is no need to identify the location of the boosters in this application. Furthermore, it would be impractical for Sirius to list the retail outlets nationwide at which it plans to deploy these in—store signal boosters or to modify this STA every time Sirius were to operate an in—store signal booster at a new retail establishment. To the extent that the Commission determines that location information is required, Sirius respectfully requests that the Commission waive this requirement.° Interference Considerations. The in—store signal boosters will not cause harmful interference to other radio services. Because Sirius has exclusive use ofits licensed frequency band,"‘ there is no potential for in—band interference. Moreover, these additional in—store signal boosters, like the current boosters, will not cause adjacent band interference to WCS licensees in the 2305—2320 MHz and 2345—2360 MHz bands. As set forth in Exhibit C, assuming the worst case scenario for interference to WCS operations (i.e., WCS equipment operating on a frequency adjacent to the lower edge of Sirius‘ licensed frequency band and operating within 5.3 feet of the signal booster), WCS licensees will have a margin of 19 dB, which is sufficient for any digital fixed wireless or mobile use. Moreover, where WCS equipment operates outside of the store where the booster is located, the margin will increase by another 9 dB as a result of wall or ceiling attenuation, providing additional protection to any possible outdoor WCS receivers. And, as required by the Installation Manual, both the SDARS roof or wall—mounted receive antenna and the signal booster antenna will be installed with sufficient isolation to avoid reflection. Ownership and Control ofIn—Store Signal Boosters. Sirius and XM will jointly own each in—store signal booster. Pursuant to contractual arrangements, each licensee will retain full operational control of these boosters to the extent the 5 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(a). 6 47 C.F.R. §1.3. 7 47 C.F.R. § 25.202(a)(6) (stating the 2320—2345 MHz band is allocated exclusively for SDARS).

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch June 1, 2005 Page 5 booster operates in its licensed frequency band. Sirius and XM also will retain the right to shut down any in—store signal booster upon a complaint of interference, upon direction of the Commission, or upon finding that an in—store signal booster has not been installed in accordance with the Installation Manual. Public Interest Considerations. Prompt grantof this STA will promote the continued success of satellite radio and thereby serve the public interest. The demand for SDARS radios by the public has continued to increase over time. Accordingly, Circuit City, Best Buy, and other stores that sell and promote SDARS radios to the public have requested that Sirius and XM make in—store signal boosters available to additional locations so that they can promote the service to consumers in additional markets. Withoutin—store signal boosters, these retail outlets cannot effectively market SDARS service to consumers, and cannot easily test SDARS receivers installed in consumers‘ vehicles. As Sirius has noted in prior applications, in—store signal boosters enable Sirius to provide a clear signal for reception by SDARS receivers located within retail outlets. Based on consumer reactions, retail outlets have expressed a need for this type of in—store reception capability in order to demonstrate the mobility of SDARS. Moreover, eliminating the need for a hard wire connection enables satellite radios to be displayed in any area of a store, including high traffic areas. Finally, in those retail outlets offering automobile installation, store employees installing SDARS receivers in vehicles will be able to verify that the SDARS receiver is working properly while the vehicle is located in the store‘s installation bay. This will result in time—saving efficiencies for installers and ensure that vehicles are returned to consumers with properly functioning SDARS radios. In addition, many of these in—store signal boosters feature better antenna technology. As noted above, certain ofthe in—store signal boosters will employ one receive antenna rather than the two antennas required by the current boosters. The new design also is more convenient to install and, therefore, is easier for retail outlets to use. Accordingly, grant of the requested STA will enable Sirius to deploy advanced technology, which will support the continued growth and development of SDARS service. Certifications. Sirius certifies that its operation of the in—store signal boosters will comply with the "Micro—Repeater STA Conditions" that the Commission imposed

Interoperable SDARS Wireless Repeater System Operation and System Test Instructions for XMSSRO23WR General The XMSR923WR is a Wireless Satellite Radio Repeater system designed to provide signal to XM and Sirius Satellite Radio receivers in the display areas in the retail environment. This system provides signal for both satellite redio service provider receivers and supports multiple receivers in the covered area. System Description The XMSSR923WR system consists of two receive antennas, an antenna combiner, two line amplifiers, a DC Injector,a transmit antenna and 4 cable assemblies to interconnect the components. The following section briefly describes each componentofthe system: 1. Receive Antennas The Sirius and XM receive antennas are supplied with a mounting bracket and J—Pipe. Both antennas are LHCP, 7 dB gein, patch antennes with built in low noise amplifiers. The XM antenna LNA has a gain of 32 dB and the Sirius antenna LNA gain is 35 dB. The antennas are provided already connected in the correct locations of the mounting bracket so as to provide the proper elevation for each antenna (XM at 45 degrees and Sirius at 15 degrees from horizontal). For optimal system performance, these antennas must be fastened to the supplied J—Pipe and oriented with the Sirius antenna pointing toward the North. The antennas are connected to a combiner via two low loss RF195 type cables and the DC power for the internal amplifiers is supplied via the same cable. 2. Antenna Combiner The antenna combiner combines the two receive antennas through the two antenna cables from two female SMA connectors at the combiner input to a single female SMA output connector at the combiner output. The combiner feeds DC to both antennas and delivers the combined signal to one of the two system line amplifiers. 3. Line Amplifier Two line amplifiers are used in the XMSSR923WR (one with 41 dB and one with 39 dB ofgain}. The line amplifiers provide sufficient gain to offset the cable attenuation and to increase the signal level for retransmission inside a building. The line amplifiers amplify the RF signal from the combiner while providing a DC Bypass to deliver DC operating voltage to the rest of the system. 4. DC Injector The DC Injector is a bias Tee with a built in AC adapter, The AC adapter portion supplies the system with the required DC voltage (7.5 VDC at 1000 mA.) and the Bias Tee portion injects the DC voltage into the system coax to bias the active components while isolating the RF signal from the AC adapter. The DC injector only supplies DC from one side (the side where the AC adapter cable exits) the other port blocks DC while RF signals pass through the device with only about 1 dB of attenuation.

5. Transmit Antenna The transmit antenna used in the XMSSR923WR systemn is a passive version of the same LHCP, 7 dB Gain antenna design used in the receive antennas described above. This directional antenna provides a 70 degree by 60 degree signal beam that may be pointed toward the display area where the receivers are located. This antenna radiates the Satellite Radio signals to allow the radios in the covered display area to function properly. System operation The XMSSR923WR system is designed to receive Sateilite Radio signals from the SDARS satellites via two, external, roof or wall mounted antennas, route the signals into the building via coaxial cables, amplify the signals to overcome cable attenuation and retransmit the signals to provide coverage to a portion of a building. The repeateris designed to bave sufficient system gain to provide adequate signal inside retail establishments. The system has no operator controls and is not adjustable by the end user. Proper system operation is controlled through the orientation and focation of the receive and transmit antennas. See the Installation Instructions for additional information. Once the system is installed and the AC adapter is connected to the 120 volt supply, the system may be tested by connecting automotive antennas to an XM and a Sitius receiver in the covered display area, powering up the receivers and listening to the stereos. Additional coverage information may be obtained by installing a Delphi Sky Fi receiver in a battery operated Boom Box and analyzing the signal information using the "Antenna Aiming" feature of the radio. This feature provides Satellite and Terrestrial signal indications for XM signals.

(2) The booster is for indoor operation and no wall/ceiling attenuation, which would normally exist, has been added to the margin. Where WCS equipment operates outside of the store where the booster is lacated, the margin will increase by another 9 dB as a result of wall or ceiling attenuation, providing additional protection to any possible outdoor WCS receivers. (3) Near field effects should be negligible. Locations at other than beampeak receive even lower Pz levels.
