Federal Communications Commission Washington, DC 20554 International Bureau DA 05-451 February 18,2005 Mr. Ed Spitler ARTEL, Inc. 1893 Preston White Drive Reston, VA 20191 Re: Call Sign: E040325 File No. SES-LIC-20040804-01090 Dear Mr. Spitler: On August 4,2004, Artel, Inc ("ARTEL") filed the above-captioned application for authority to operate a Conventional Ku-Band' Earth Station in Honolulu, Hawaii to communicate with Japan's JCSAT-1B satellite at the 150" E.L. orbit location and all satellites authorized to serve the United States (ALSAT). A review of the application revealed the following deficiencies: (1) Section 25.114(c) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 8 25.1 14(c), requires all space station applicants to submit all applicable items of information listed in its subsections. Section 25.137(b) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. Q 25.137(b), states that applications for earth stations seeking to access a non-U.S.- licensed satellite, such as the JCSAT-lB, must include the same information as required in Section 25.114(c) for the foreign space station.* ARTEL did not supply link budgets or a two-degree spacing interference analysis for JCSAT-1B as required by Sections 25.114(~)(17)and 25.140 of the rules, 47 C.F.R. $8 25.1 14(c)(7) and 25.140. Further, it did not submit Schedule S, as required by Section 25.114(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 0 25.1 14(a). Thus, we have no technical information before us on which to make a determination as to whether JCSAT-1B can operate compatibly with other satellites authorized to serve the United States. (2) The Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) specified in your application does not agree with that derived from the accompanying engineering data. I The conventional Ku-band encompasses the 11.7-12.2GHz and 14.0-14.5GHz frequency bands. 2 See also Amendment of the Commission'sRegulatory Policies to Allow Non-U.S. Licensed Space Stations to Provide Domestic and International Satellite Service in the United States, Report and Order, 12 FCC Rcd 24094 (1999), at para. 190.

Federal Communications Commission DA 05-451 Specifically, the “Max EIRP Per Carrier (E48)” is specified as 5 1.2 dBW, while Total E R P derived from the “5 Watts Total Input Power at Antenna Flange (E38)”and “49.2 dBi Transmit Antenna Gain (E41/42)” is shown as 56.2 dBW. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.1 12(a)(l) of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. 3 25.1 12(a)( l), we dismiss your application without prejudice to r e f i l i ~ ~ g . ~ Sincerely, Scott A. Kotler Chief, Systems Analysis Branch Satellite Division 3 If ARTEL refiles an application identical to the one dismissed, with the exception of supplying the missing and corrected information, it need not pay an application fee. See 47 C.F.R.5 1.1109(d).
