Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority File No, 681—DSE—MP/L—95 Dear Ms. Salas: On February 3, 1999. AMSC Subsidiary Corporation ("AMSC") requested that the Commission grant it special temporary authority ("STA") to operate half—duplex mobile earth terminals ("METs") with a transmit bandwidth of 20 kHz, manufactured by Vistar Telecommunications, Inc. ("Vistar"), under its above—captioned blanket license for mobile data terminals. (See attached.) AMSC‘s existing blanket license permits it to operate it up to 33,100 mobile data terminals, and, on behalf of AMSC, we hereby clarify that grant of this STA would allow it to operate up to 10.000 of these Vistar terminals. In addition. AMSC indicated in its STA request that these Vistar terminals comply with NTlA‘s proposed limits on out—of—band emissions from terminals operating in the MSS L—band. Specifically, the Vistar terminals will comply with NTIA‘s proposed out—of—band emission limit of —70 dBW/MHz averaged over any 20 ms period for wide band emissions occurring between 1559— 1605 MHz and —80 dBW/700 Hz for narrow bandemissions occurring between 1559—1605 MHz, over a measurement bandwidth of 700 Hz. See Letter to Regina M. Keeney, Chief. International Bureau, from Richard D. Parlow., Associate Administrator, Spectrum Management.

Do xk To ARCY Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority File No. 681—DSE—MP/L—95 Dear Mr. Caton: AMSC Subsidiary Corporation ("AMSC") respectfully requests that the Commission grant it special temporary authority ("STA") to operate half—duplex mobile earth terminals ("METs") with a transmit bandwidth of 20 kHz under its above—captioned blanket license for mobile data terminals. On July 8, 1997, AMSC requested minor modification of this blanket license to permit the operation of these terminals on a permanent basis, and this application remains pending. (See attached.) Grant of the instant STA request, permitting operation of these terminals for 180 days, will not prejudice the Commission‘s consideration of the underlying minor modification request. AMSC‘s existing half—duplex terminals have a transmit bandwidth of 5 kHz, consistent with its existing authorization. AMSC now intends to use METs manufactured by Vistar Telecommunications. Inc. ("Vistar"). Because of the nature of Vistar‘s traffic and the efficient design of the service. the Vistar terminals use very little spectrum; up to 50,000 Vistar terminals can operate on a single 20 kHz transmit channel and 5 kHz receive channel. Grant of this STA request is in the public interest, as these Vistar terminals will be used to efficiently transmit alarm and positional data. and other low—data—volume traffic from mobile units such as trucks, trailers, freight cars, and similar vehicles. The additional terminals will operate within the parameters of AMSC‘s existing authorization. The level of out—of—band and spurious emissions from these terminals conforms to Section 25.202(f) of the Commission‘s rules and to the Memorandum of Understanding among the FCC, NTIA, and the FAA, thus providing sufficient protection to GPS and Glonass. These terminals also comply with NTIA‘s proposed limits on out—of—band emissions from terminals operating in the MSS L—band. 10802 PARKRIDGI 1 CuilEVARD 703 758 6000 RESTION VIRG:iN.c i0191—5416 FAX 758 6111

Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Minor Modification File No. 681—DSE—MP/L—95 Dear Mr. Caton: AMSC Subsidiary Corporation ("AMSC") respectfully requests that the Commission modify the above—referenced authorization to permit AMSC to operate half—duplex mobile earth terminals ("METs") with a transmit bandwidth of 25 kHz. Consistent with its current authorization, AMSC‘s existing half—duplex terminals have a transmit bandwidth of 5 kHz. AMSC now intends to use METs manufactured by Vistar Telecommunications, Inc. ("Vistar"), ~— and transmissions from these terminals require a wider bandwidth than do transmissions from AMSC‘s existing terminals. This greater transmit bandwidth is required by Vistar‘s use of CDMA technology, which enables up to ten terminals to transmit simultaneously. These Vistar terminals will otherwise operate within the parameters of AMSC‘s existing authorization. The level of out—of—band and spurious emissions from these terminals conforms to Section 25.202(f) of the Commission‘s rules and to the Memorandum of Understanding among the FCC, NTIA, and the FAA, thus providing sufficient protection to GPS and GLONASS. Attached hereto is a check made payable to the Federal Communications Commission for the sum of One Hundred Thirty Dollars ($130.00) to cover the fee associated with this filing. AMSC hereby certifies that no party to this application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. §853(a).
