Intelsat inspiring connections January 13,2004 Ms. Shahnaz Ghavami Engineer, Systems Analysis Branch Satellite Division International Bureau Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Application of SWE-DISH Satellite Communications, Inc., File No. SES-LIC-20030910-01236 Dear Ms. Ghavami: This letter is submitted in connection with the application of SWE-DISH Satellite Communications, Inc. for authority to operate a fixed temporary earth station (File No. SES-LIC-20030910-01236) filed with the Commission on September 10, 2003. While the original SW E-DISH application had requested ALSAT status, we have been subsequently advised by SWE-DISH of their intent to amend their application to identify eight (8) specific satellites with which the proposed earth station would be licensed to operate. With regard to the specific satellites so identified by SWE-DISH, lntelsat is the operator of the following two satellites: 0 lntelsat 706 satellite, located at 53"W lntelsat 903 satellite. located at 34.5"W lntelsat is also the operator of the following four satellites that are adjacent to five of the satellites with which SWE-DISH is seeking authority to operate: lntelsat 705 (which is located at 50"W and is adjacent to the PAS 1R satellite located at 45" W and to the lntelsat 706 satellite located at 53" W) lntelsat 801 (which is located at 31.5"W and is adjacent to the lntelsat 903 satellite located at 34.5"W) 0 lntelsat 805 (which is located at 55.5"W and is adjacent to the lntelsat 706 satellite located at 53"W) lntelsat Global Sevice Corporation 3400 InYm-me2WW Washin ton DC 20008-3006 USA www.intelsatcom 1 +1 202-944-6800 F +1 202-944-7898 [SWE-DisH hiid I n r ~ I c x t . d o e j

lntelsat 903 (which is located at 34.5"W and is adjacent to the Telstar 11 satellite located at 37.5"W) lntelsat has been advised by SWE-DISH that the following technical parameters apply to the operation of the temporary fixed earth station that is the subject of the above-referenced application: Antenna Size: 0.9M x 0.66M Linearly Polarized Ku-band Main Beam Gain: 38.4dBi @ 14.25 GHz Input Power Density: -14.0 dBW/4kHz We have examined these technical specifications and can confirm that the operation of this antenna with the parameters specified above would generally be acceptable on the lntelsat 706 and lntelsat 903 satellites and that such operation: (1 ) is fully consistent with intersystem coordination agreements that lntelsat has entered into with affected adjacent satellite operators, and (2) would be taken into account in any future intersystem coordination agreements between lntelsat and affected adjacent satellite operators. Further, based on existing intersystem coordination agreements with adjacent satellite operators, we can confirm that, with respect to the lntelsat 705, 801, 805, and 903 satellites, each of which is adjacent to one of the satellites for which SWE-DISH has requested authority to operate, we do not believe that the proposed operation by SW E-DISH would result in unacceptable interference into those four satellites. However, because of (1) possible future modifications in such agreements, (2) in order to ensure that the any proposed transmission on available lntelsat capacity is compatible with other transmissions carried on the same satellite, and (3) in order to ensure that the proposed transmission will not be harmed by interference caused by adjacent satellites, lntelsat will only authorize access to its capacity after analysis and approval of the proposed transmission plans. Please do not hesitate to call the undersigned at 202-944-7084 should you have any questions. Sincerely yours, 'Calvin Harriot cc: M. Mechanick lllu100( 2.16 I'M (2K) (SWE.DISH R c r i v d ImclsaI lcrl.doc]
