Skjei Telecom, Inc. 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. There will be spectrum restrictions due to interference considerations.

Skjei Telecom, Inc. 2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of the proposed earth station. The Critical Contour Point method of determining worst case interference from the route and port sites was the interference method used. 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. In those cases were OH losses did not resolve the interference the ESV will mute transmission within an exclusion zone sufficient in size to preclude interference. Also note, that there are no unresolved coordination requests which would result in an exceedance of the maximum 180 megahertz of coordinated spectrum for all ESV operations in the coordination area in the 5925-6425 MHz band. 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-only earth station. The ESV will employ a GPS sensitive ability to cease transmission when traveling in certain exclusion zones. The interference cases and the location of the critical contour point (CCP), around which the exclusion zones exist are detailed in the tables below. Company RigNet SatCom, Inc.
