1. CONCLUSIONS An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment. There will be spectrum restrictions due to interference considerations. Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 12/10/2008 Page 3 of 16

2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of the proposed earth station. The Critical Contour Point method of determining worst case interference from the route and port sites was the interference method used. Each of the cases, which exceeded the interference objective on a line-of-sight basis, was profiled and the propagation losses estimated using NBS TN101 (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the signal levels to acceptable magnitudes in every case, except as noted below. Also note, that there are no unresolved coordination requests which would result in an exceedance of the maximum 180 megahertz of coordinated spectrum for all ESV operations in the coordination area in the 5925-6425 MHz band. The following company reported potential great circle interference conflicts that did not meet the objectives on a line-of-sight basis. When over-the-horizon losses are considered on the interfering paths, sufficient blockage exists to negate harmful interference from occurring with the proposed transmit-only earth station, except as noted below. Company ALLTEL Communications, LLC Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office Louisiana, State Of New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC - LA NEW ORLEANS EDUCATIONAL TELECOMM PATHNET, INC. - DEBTOR IN POSSESSION Stratos Offshore Services Company Verizon Wireless Personal Comm., LP Spectrum between 5960 - 5970 MHz can clear for entire route. Spectrum between 5948- 5960 MHz will be impacted by one large case, Nunez from Bank One and several smaller cases. To resolve these cases the ESV will not operate within the 5948-5960 MHz band in the blacked out area shown in Figure 1 below.
