1. Summary of Results
On behalf of O3B Networks USA, LLC’s proposed earth station transmitting at 28 GHz1,
Comsearch performed a revised coordination notice for all existing and proposed terrestrial
licenses within the coordination contours of the Ka-Band station in Vernon, Texas. The revision
was performed due to a minor coordinate change in the location of the proposed earth station.
Prior notification letters were sent to the licensees and a copy of the notification data is provided
in section four of this report. The earth station coordination was finalized on January 20, 2013.

No objections were received from any of the incumbent 28 GHz licensees. Our notification to
the LMDS incumbents was performed under the assumption that the earth station would be
operating on a secondary basis to LMDS Block A operations and a contact at O3b Networks
has been provided in case any concerns may arise in the future.


2. 28 GHz Common Carrier and LTTS Coordination
In accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations, a Ka-Band earth station in Vernon, TX was
prior coordinated by Comsearch. The notification letters and datasheet for this earth station
were sent to the following 28 GHz common carrier fixed microwave licensees on December 20,
2012. These licensees are authorized to operate temporary fixed operations from 27.5 – 29.5
GHz on a statewide or nationwide basis.
