FREQUENCY COORDINATION AND INTERFERENCE ANALYSIS REPORT Prepared for INTELSAT, LLC NUEVO, CALIFORNIA (Call Sign: E990551) Satellite Earth Station Prepared By: COMSEARCH 19700 JANELIA FARM BOULEVARD ASHBURN, VIRGINIA 20147 FEBRUARY 23, 2004

1. CONCLUSIONS An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment. Further, there will be no restrictions of its operation due to interference considerations. Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 02/23/2004 Page 3 of 10

2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of the proposed earth station. Each of the cases, which exceeded the interference objective on a line—of—sight basis, was profiled and the propagation losses estimated using NBS TN101 (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the signal levels to acceptable magnitudes in every case. The following companies reported potential great circle interference conflicts that did not meet the objectives on a line—of—sight basis. When over—the—horizon losses are considered on the interfering paths, sufficient blockage exists to negate harmful interference from occurring with the proposed transmit—receive earth station.

Exhibit B Radiation Hazard Report Page 1 of 5 Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 9.3—Meter Earth Station System This report analyzes the non—jonizing radiation levels for a 9.3—meter earth station system. The analysis and calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997 in Edition 97—01. The radiation safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC R&O 96—326. Bulletin No. 65 and the FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment are shown in Table 1. The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an Occupational/Controlled environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the analysis described in this report is to determine the power flux density levels of the earth station in the far—field, near—fleld, transition region, between the subreflector or feed and main reflector surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge and the ground and to compare these levels to the specified MPEs.

Exhibit B Radiation Hazard Report Page 2 of 5 1. Far Field Distance Calculation The distance to the beginning of the farfield can be determined from the following equation: Distance to the Far Field Region R; = 0.60 D/A (1) =1068.2 m The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following equation: On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field GP/(4 t Ry") (2) it 17. 121 W/im* d1 1.712 mWicm* 2. Near Field Calculation Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance. The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation: Extent of the Near Field Ry = D/ (4 2) (3) = 445.1 m The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation: Near Field Power Density Sa = 16.0 1 P / (r D°) (4) = 39.968 W/m" = 3.997 mW/cm" 3. Transition Region Calculation The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following equation: Transition Region Power Density S$. = Si Ra/R (5) = 3.997 mW/cm"

Exhibit B Radiation Hazard Report Page 3 of 5 4. Region between the Main Reflector and the Subreflector Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the subreflector surface, and are reflected back toward the main reflector. The most common feed assemblies are waveguide flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the subreflector and the reflector surfaces can be calculated by determining the power density at the subreflector surface. This can be determined from the following equation: Power Density at the Subreflector Ss, = 4000 P / As, (6) = 342177 mWicm" 5. Main Reflector Region The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at the subreflector. The area is now the area of the main reflector aperture and can be determined from the following equation: Power Density at the Main Reflector Surface Ssurface = 4 P / Asurtace (7) =58.885 W/m" = 5.888 mW/cm" 6. Region between the Main Reflector and the Ground Assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, the power density between the antenna and the ground can be determined from the following equation: Power Density between Reflector and Ground $y =P / Asurface (8) =14.721 W/im" =1.472 mWi/icm*

Exhibit B Radiation Hazard Report Page 5 of 5 8. Conclusions Based upon the above analysis, it is concluded that harmful fevels of radiation may exist in those regions noted for the Uncontrolled (Table 4) and Controlled (Table 5) Environments. The antenna is installed at the Intelsat, LLC facility in Nuevo, California. The facility is surrounded by a fence, which will restrict any public access. The earth station will be marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, as well as the area in the vicinity of the earth station to inform those in the general population, who might be working or otherwise present in or near the direct path of the main beam. The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one diameter away from any building, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE levels. Since one diameter removed from the center of the main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a factor of 100, these potential hazards do not exist for either the public, or for earth station personnel. Finally, the earth station‘s operating personnel will not have access to areas that exceed the MPE levels, while the earth station is in operation. The transmitter will be turned off during periods of maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for those regions in close proximity to the main reflector, which could be occupled by operating personnel.

EXHIBIT C

EXHIBIT C Page 1 of 1 FAA Notification Not Required Per PART 17[17.14(a)} ofthe FCC rules, FAA notification is not required, as the antenna structure is located in an area with structures of equal or greater heights.

EXHIBIT D

Exhibit D Response to Question 21 Intelsat LLC seeks to operate this earth station on both a common carrier and non—common carrier basis. However, the electronic response to Question 21 only permits an applicant to check one box. Accordingly, Intelsat LLC checked one box—the box marked non—common carriee—and submits this exhibit to make clear that both boxes—the box marked non—common carrier and the box marked common carrier—should be checked.
