       Re:      XM Radio Inc.
                Request for 180-Day Special Temporary Authority to Operate
                A Very Low Power Repeater in Vienna, Virginia

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(2) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. 5 25.120(b)(2), XM
Radio Inc. (“XM”), a licensee in the Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (“SDARS”), hereby
requests 180-Day Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) to operate in its licensed frequency
band (2332.5-2345 MHz) a very low power repeater (not exceeding 0.5 watts average EIRP) in
Vienna, Virginia.

Pursuant to STA granted February 5,2008, XM currently operates one very low power
repeater at an office building located at 2650 Park Tower Drive, Vienna, VA (the “2650
Building”). With the instant application, XM seeks authority to operate a second very low power
repeater on the same building, with technical parameters identical to the currently authorized
repeater. XM recently relocated employees on its Listener Care team to the 2650 Building.
These employees are directly involved in the resolution of subscriber complaints and need to
receive a quality XM signal at their desks in order to perform their jobs of assisting XM
 subscriber^.^ After occupying this new office space for several months, XM has determined that
a single repeater does not provide an adequate XM signal for all of its employees who need
coverage in this building.

1
    At the same time it is filing this request, XM is also filing a request to operate the same
    repeater under a 60-Day Special Temporary Authority pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of
    the Commission’s rules.
    See FCC Grant of File No. SAT-STA-20071219-00178, February 5,2008.
3
    Given the technical parameters of this proposed repeater, it will not be capable of serving
    members of the general public or XM subscribers located outside of the 2650 Building.




                                                            I              I              I

    Ms. Marlene H. Dortch

    The 2650 Building is a large one and XM occupies two entire floors and part of a third floor of
    the building. Due to the building’s size and physical limitations, as well as limitations imposed
    by XM’s sublease, it is impractical for XM to provide adequate service to its employees using
    either hard-wire connections or through other existing STA authorizations that XM holds.
    Rather, a second very low power repeater is the only practical solution for providing service to
    XM employees at the 2650 Building. Under this configuration, rather than receiving signal from
    a terrestrial repeater, a mini repeater (containing the receiver, transcoder and upconverter of a
    terrestrial repeater) located in the 2650 Building receives XM’s signal directly from an XM
    satellite. The existing mini-repeater, which does not radiate at all, transmits the signal directly to
    a very low power repeater via coaxial cable. The repeater then amplifies the signal via an
    external amplifier and retransmits the signal via one or more omnidirectional antennas, at a
    power level not exceeding 0.5 watts average EIRP. The additional repeater proposed in the
    instant application would operate in the identical manner as XM’s existing repeater.

    The Commission has recognized that SDARS operators require terrestrial repeaters to provide
    high-quality service nati~nwide.~  Consistent with this policy, in September 200 1, the Bureau
    granted XM an STA to operate a nationwide network of terrestrial repeaters? In the years since,
    the Bureau has granted XM additional STAs to operate its terrestrial repeaters, pending issuance
    of final rules governing the deployment and use of repeaters!

    Public Interest Considerations. Grant of the STA will serve the public interest by providing
    quality service to XM employees at the 2650 Building, who in turn will be able to provide better
    customer service assistance to XM subscribers. Moreover, the STA will promote the continued
    success of satellite radio because the very low power repeater will eliminate the need for hard-
    wire connections which in this case could cause significant physical disruption to the leased

office space. Without this additional very low power repeater, XM cannot provide the signal
quality that its listener care employees require.

Technical Information for Very Low Power Repeater. The following technical information
pertaining to the repeater is provided in Exhibit A: (1) antenna type; (2) antenna orientation; (3)
average EIRP; (4) height above ground level (“AGL”); and (5) antenna downtilt. The
specification sheet for the antenna is attached as Exhibit B.

Interference Considerations. The very low power repeater will not cause harmful interference to
other radio services. Because XM has exclusive use of its licensed band, there is no potential for
in-band interference. Moreover, this repeater will operate at a power level not exceeding 0.5
watts average EIRP, which is well below the 2,000 watts EIRP threshold identified by the WCS
Coalition as a potential interference ~ o n c e r n .Accordingly,
                                                     ~            XM does not anticipate that
operation of the new repeater will cause any interference for WCS operators or any other entity.
To the extent XM’s original 2001 STA requires it to coordinate with affected Wireless
Communications Services (“WCS”) licensees prior to operating any repeater: XM is sending a
copy of this STA application to counsel for Horizon Wi-Com, LLC (“Horizon”) in satisfaction of
this coordination req~irement.~   In the event that prohibited interference does occur, XM will

    XM STA Order 7 12 (“The comments from WCS licensees express concern about blanketing
    interference from DARS repeaters that operate with an Equivalent Isotropically Radiated
    Power (EIRP) above 2 kW.”). The WCS Coalition has said that it will defer from objecting
    to STA requests that propose operations of no more than 2,000 watts EIRP, even if they do
    not specify peak or average EIRP, provided that grant of the STA (i) is conditioned on
    operation on a non-interference basis; and (ii) is subject to the condition that the issue of peak
    versus average EIRP will be addressed in the pending DARS rulemaking (IB Docket No. 95-
    91). See Letter from Paul J. Sinderbrand, Counsel to the WCS Coalition, to Ms. Helen
    Domenici, FCC, File No. SAT-STA-20061207-00145 (filed March 19,2007). XM agrees to
    these conditions.

    See XMSTA Order 7 14.
    Despite the Bureau’s statement in the XMSTA Order (at 7 14) that it expects “WCS licensees
    to provide a schedule or as much advance notice as possible of when their stations are to be
    placed in operation,” XM has not received information directly from any WCS licensee
    regarding plans for WCS deployment in this market. However, XM’s own review of
    Commission files show that Horizon has certified that it operates a WCS station in the
    Washington, D.C. market, Call Sign KNLB3 15, File No. 0003045282 (filed May 29,2007).
    It is not clear from Horizon’s certification whether its base station is receiving transmissions
    from CPE or whether it is engaged in transmit-only operations. If only the latter, potential
    interference to the Horizon base station is not an issue. In any event, XM has conducted an
                                                                    Footnote continued on next page

Control Center (202-380-4725) is available on a continuous basis to receive such reports of any
suspected interference and take immediate corrective action.

Ownership and Control of Repeaters. XM will own the very low power repeater and it will be
responsible for its installation and operation.

Certifications. XM certifies that it will operate the very low power repeater subject to the
conditions and certifications set forth in the XMSTA Order granting XM’s September 2001
request for STA to operate terrestrial repeaters. Specifically, XM certifies the following:

       (1) XM will operate the very low power repeaters and signal boosters at its own risk, and
       such operation shall not prejudice the outcome of the final rules adopted by the
       Commission in GEN Docket 95-91;

       (2) XM will operate this facility on a non-interference basis with respect to all
       permanently authorized radiocommunication facilities;

       (3) The facility will be restricted to the simultaneous retransmission of the complete
       programming, and only that programming, transmitted by the satellite directly to SDARS
       receivers;

       (4) Where applicable, coordination of the facility will be completed with all affected
       Administrations prior to operation, in accordance with all applicable international
       agreements including those with Canada and Mexico;

       (5) The facility will comply with Part 17 of the Commission’s rules - Construction,
       Marking, and Lighting of Antenna Structures;

       (6) The facility will comply with Part 1 of the Commission’s rules, Subpart I - Procedures
       Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, including the guidelines
       for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields as defined in Sections
       1.1307(b) and 1.1310 of the Commission’s rules; and

       (7) The out-of-band emissions of the facility will be limited to 75+log (EIRP) dB less
       than the transmitter EIRP.

XM intends to use input and output filters with this very low power repeater for out-of-band
signal removal, to ensure compliance with the last specification above. The input band-pass
filter will be used to remove Sirius-band and XM-band satellite signals. A 10 dB coupler is
incorporated into the input band-pass filter for input signal monitoring purposes. In addition, an
output band-pass filter will be used to remove spurious signal, Sirius-band signal, and XM-band
satellite signal. A 20 dB coupler is also incorporated into the output band-pass filter for output
signal monitoring. Exhibit C hereto is a block diagram showing the design of this repeater,
including these two filters.

XM also plans to employ an anti-feedback mechanism to assure it will not become a broadband
noise source if the coupling between the receiver and retransmit antennas is not sufficient to
avoid oscillation. Upon installing this repeater, the installer will optimize the antenna placement
to avoid any feedback that may create oscillation.

Granting this request will not alter XM’s obligation to protect authorized radiocommunications
facilities from interference, and it will not prejudice the outcome of the Commission’s ongoing
rulemaking pertaining to the deployment and operation of terrestrial repeaters.

XM hereby certifies that no party to this application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits
pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988,21 U.S.C. 5 853(a).

XM is submitting payment to the Federal Communications Commission in the amount of Seven
Hundred Ninety Dollars ($790.00) -- the filing fee applicable to requests for STAs for
geostationary (,‘Gso~,) satellites. l o

                        Vendor will supply max baseplate temperature allowed. Vendor to supply a dimensioned drawing
                        that also shows where on the basepIate waste power is being dissipated and where the max
                        heplate temperature is measured. CPI will use this information to design a suitable heatsink.

                        Vendor will supply a first article test report with supporting data for prototype quantity units to
                        verify compliance to the following sections. These tests are intended to provide CPI with a level of
                        confidence in the performance and reliability of the product.

                        -All specifications in Sedion 2.0 at +3OoC. 2.7 and 2.8 should be tested at the power specified in
                        2.2, and at +25dBm as a minimum.
                        -All specificationsin Section 3.0 including a description of internal protection for transients and
                        noise.
                        -Section 5.1 -for operation, themetrics of performance will be Sections 2.1,2.2,2.5, and 2.7.
                        Once the unit has reached thermal equilibrium at the temperature extremes, testing must last 12
                        how. Maximum baseplate temperature during the test should be reported.
                        -Section 5.4 - either test the design, or if there is field history, provide MTBF numbers in lieu of
                        tests.

                        Ifenvironmental stress screening or highly accelerated life testing has been performed on this
                        design to prove reliability, those test results should be submitted.
