                                      APPLICATION

              SES Government Solutions, Inc. (“SES-GS”) hereby seeks a license for a
new earth station in Pago Pago, American Samoa, that will communicate with the O3b
Ka-band non-geostationary orbit fixed-satellite service (“NGSO FSS”) satellite fleet.
Operations of this earth station have commenced pursuant to special temporary
authority (“STA”). See File Nos. SES-STA-20160426-00372 & SES-STA-20160624-
00604. Grant of the requested license is in the public interest as it will allow SES-GS to
provide O3b capacity to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency to support the
provision by the National Weather Service of data on weather and climate, including
warnings for the protection of life and property.
              SES-GS incorporates herein the information included in its initial STA
request for this site, File No. SES-STA-20160426-00372. As noted in that request, the
Commission has granted U.S. market access for the O3b constellation, authorizing U.S.
earth stations to communicate with the O3b fleet. 1 Moreover, the antenna model that
SES-GS is seeking to use has already been approved by the Commission for
operations with the O3b network throughout the continental U.S., Hawaii, Puerto Rico,
and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 2 For the Commission’s convenience, SES-GS is
reattaching the radiation hazard study for this antenna that was included in the STA
request, as well as a set of link budgets for the proposed operations.

  See O3b Limited, Call Sign S2935, File Nos. SAT-LOI-20141029-00118 & SAT-AMD-
20150115-00004, granted Jan. 22, 2015 (authorizing operations in the 17.8-18.6 GHz,
18.8-19.3 GHz, 27.6-28.4 GHz, and 28.6-29.1 GHz bands).
   O3b was granted certain waivers in connection with its request for U.S. market
access, including waivers of the geographical coverage requirements for Ka-band
NGSO systems in Section 25.145(c) and of the cross-polarization isolation requirements
in Section 25.210(i)(1). See id., Attachment to Grant at 3-4. To the extent necessary,
SES-GS requests that these waivers be extended to the operations proposed in this
license application.

that application.


RADIATION HAZARD STUDY

In this report SES Government Solutions, Inc. (“SES-GS”) analyzes the maximum radiofrequency
(RF) levels emitted from the satellite communications antenna described below. The reference
document for this study is OET Bulletin No. 65, Edition 97-01, Evaluating Compliance with FCC
Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields, August 1997.



   1. The following data is used throughout the analysis:




2. Density at Feed Flange
      The maximum power flux density at the surface of the feed flange is as follows:




3. Density at Main Reflector
     The maximum power flux density at the surface of the main reflector is as follows:




                                              1


4. Density between Main Reflector and Ground
     The maximum power flux density in the area between the edge of the main reflector
     and the ground is as follows




5. Density within the Near Field
     The Near Field environment for a parabolic reflector antenna is contained within a
     cylinder with the same diameter as the main reflector which extends to a distance called
     the Near Field Extent
     Power within the Near Field is constant with the following maximum flux density:




6. Density at Transition Region
     The Transition Region is the area between the Near Field and Far Field regions where
     power decreases linearly with distance.
     The maximum power flux density within the Transition Region is located at the Near
     Field extent range and is calculated as follows:




7. Density at Beginning of the Far Field
       The Far Field region is the range at which power decreases inversely with the square of the
       distance. The maximum power flux density within the Far Field region occurs at the Far Field
       Boundary and is calculated as follows:




8. Range to Far Field General Population Exposure Limit
     In addition to the power flux density calculations at key locations, it’s valuable to locate
     the specific range at which MPE limits are reached to aid in managing exposure control.
     The following calculation shows the range at which the Far Field General Population
     MPE limit occurs:


                                                  2


9. Non-Ionizing Radiation Summary
     Flux Densities & Exposure Limits
                            General Population Exposure Limit = 1.0 mW/cm2
                              Occupational Exposure Limit = 5.0 mW/cm2




Range to Key Points and General Population Exposure Limit Avoidance Methods




                                              3


10. Conclusion

      The above analysis confirms the presence of potentially hazardous power flux densities
      at the terminals which will require physical and operation protections to manage
      General Population and Occupational Exposure.

      As appropriate, SES GS will use fencing, signage, and other measures to limit access to
      the relevant area. Procedures will be in place requiring that transmit power be turned
      off before work on the 2.4m antennas is performed. Where an enclosed area is
      necessary, the size of the enclosed area will consider the RF hazards and the
      surrounding terrain. The signage will clearly state the standard Radiation Hazard
      warning.

      Personnel with access to the antenna will be trained to ensure that the antennas are off
      before working in the vicinity or on the antenna systems directly.
