July 26, 2005 l')anAmSat\.: Federal Communications Commission International Bureau 445 12"" Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 To whom it may concern: This letter certifies that PanAmSat Corporation (PanAmSat) is aware that American General Finance, Inc. (AGEF), is seeking FCC authorization to modify its license (E950321) by including Galaxy 3C at I5WL, as the point of communications, using Ku—band transmit/receive antennas that alre not strictly compliant with the FCC 2—degree spacing requirements for off—axis sidelobe gain. PanAmSat understands that AGF will be deploying Prodelin, model number 9008668, 98—cm circular—aperture antenna for its two—way VSAT services. This antenna generally exhibit its non— compliance in the region from 1.25 to 1.6 degrees off axis from maximum gain in the transmit band, due to the width of their main gain lobe. The antenna complies with the side lobe pattern requirements specified in Section 25.209 of the Commission‘s Rules at an off—axis angle equal to or greater than 1.6 degrees, in the transmit band. This antenna is to be installed with a nominal pointing accuracy of less than or equal to +/— 0.40 degrees, towards the intended satellite, and will operate at a maximum input power density at the antenna waveguide flange of —14 dBW/4 kHz . Therefore the specification of pointing accuracy as defined above in order to ensure that the operations of this non—compliant antennas, with the associated defined angle at which the antenna starts meeting the 29—25log(theta) sidelobe performance, will not cause unacceptable interference into adjacent satellites. The undersigned further certifies that the maximum forward downlink Satellite EIRP density is equal to or less than +13.0 dBW/4KHz. This operational level of the Ku—band VSAT network is within the levels coordinated with the adjacent satellite operators. Furthermore, in order to prevent unacceptable interference into adjacent satellites, PanAmSat has been informed and AGF acknowledges that the antennas will be installed in compliance with the technical, operational and performance requirements of Part 25 of the FCC rules and any requirements set forth in the licenses granted by the FCC for the above sub—meter antenna. PanAmSat and AGF acknowledge that the use of the Prodelin 98—cm circular—aperture antenna will not cause unacceptable interference into adjacent satellites in accordance with the FCC‘s 2— degree spacing policy and will not seek any additional protection compared to the case ofan earth station employing an antenna conforming to the reference pattern defined in § 25.209 ofthe FCC rules.
