UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Telecommunications and * ys “" Information Administration § %-?— INTERDEPARTMENT RADIO ADVISORY COMMITTEE *5, <~4 ,fig Washington, D.C. 20230 APR 13 2011 MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Secretary, Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC) & y_) m Fu_—___ FROM: Edward M. Davison, IRAC Chairman SUBJECT: Review of Application to Federal Communications Commission _ for Earth Stations in the Range 1610—2500 MHz Considered to be Routine (Skywave Mobile Communications, Corp.; File Nos. SES— LIC—20101229—01640/SES—AMD—20110120—00043, call sign E100192) The informal IRAC group ("Group") formed to consider applications to the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") for earth stations in the mobile—satellite service (MSS) in the range 1610—2500 MHz has reviewed the attached applications.‘ As a result of their deliberation the Group has determined that these applications can be considered "routine". The term "routine" implies that there are no policy issues that need to be considered by the IRAC. This includes the fact that i) no waiver to national table, e.g., US308 or US309, or US315, is required; 11) the applicant complies with out—of—band requirements in the Commission‘s rules; and iii) the operations are limited to communications with satellites (earth stations are not capable of providing MSS ancillary terrestrial component or dual—mode MSS satellite and integral terrestrial capability). Any applications not considered to be routine will be placed on the IRAC agenda for the Commission to submit a draft authorization for consideration. The IRAC has no objections to the MSS earth station application and the draft license for the application within the range 1610—2500 MHz under the additional conditions in the attachment. Attachment \ See IRAC Doc. 38352/1

ATTACHMENT Applications to Federal Communications Commission for Earth Stations in the Range 1610—2500 MHz Considered to be Routine* SkyWave seeks a blanket license to operate a total of 100,000 half—duplex L—band, mobile earth terminals ("METs"), models CMS—TRP and CMS—TRH to be used in the United States to access satellites on the ISAT List. SkyWave filed amendment SES—AMD—20110120—00043 to confirm that the MET‘s are capable of having an average shut—down time of 1.1 seconds, and a maximum shut—down time of 2.5 seconds, in compliance with the direction provided by the National Telecommunications Information Administration ("NTIA") for half—duplex MET‘s to comply with the priority and preemption requirements for the Global Maritime Distress and Safety Service ("GMDSS"). The new MET‘s conform to the FCC limits for out—of—band and spurious emissions as set forth in Section 25.202(f) and 25.216 of the FCC‘s Rules. Although the applicant sought waiver of the Table of Allocations since its shut down time exceeds 1 second, it is less than the 3 second shut off time given in NTIA‘s letter, dated May 13, 2009. Based on this and that no policy issues were identified, it is being coordinated as "routine" for L—Band coordination purposes.
