UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION Name: O3b Limited Call Sign: E130107 Authorization Type: Modification of License File Number: SES—MOD—20160712—00641 Non Common Carrier Grant date: 10/19/2016 Expiration Date: 06/24/2030 H) Special and General Provisions A)This RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the following special provisions and general conditions: 5208 ——— The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the antenna does not create potential exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation in excess of the FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310 wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure compliance with limits for both occupational/controlled exposure and for general population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions, such as fencing. Requirements for restrictions can be determined by predictions based on calculations, modeling, or by field measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65 (available on—line at www.fec.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of warning and alerting signs and protective equipment for workers. 6657 ——— For operations pursuant to this authorization, in the band 27.6—28.35 GHz, the minimum elevation angle of the direction of maximum radiation of the O3b antenna with respect to the horizontal plane at which O3b‘s earth stations may transmit is 10 degrees. 6658 ——— Transmissions between earth station call sign E130107 and O3b Limited NGSO space stations are limited to the provision of satellite monitoring (not including telemetry, tracking and control), network troubleshooting, testing, and demonstration services in the 17.8—18.6 GHz and 18.8—19.3 GHz (space—to—Earth) and the 27.6—28.4 GHz and 28.6—29.1 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands. This authorization is limited to a single earth station employing two 2.4 meter antennas located within an area of one second latitude by one second longitude, and does not permit O3b Limited to operate ubiquitously deployed terminals in these frequency bands. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.103; Rulemaking to Amend Parts 1, 2, 21, and 25 of the Commission‘s Rules to Redesignate the 27.5—29.5 GHz Frequency Band, to Reallocate the 29.5—30.0 GHz Frequency Band, to Establish Rules and Policies for Local Multipoint Distribution Service and for Fixed Satellite Services, Third Report and Order, 12 FCC Red. 22310, 22327 para. 42 (1997). 6659 ——— This grant does not authorize the licensee to provide commercial fixed satellite service operations in the 17.8—18.3 GHz band within the United States. 6660 ——— Grant of this application and operations under this license are based upon and subject to the conditions, waivers, and findings specified for Call Sign $2935. Hughes Network Systems, LLC and EchoStar Satellite Operating Corporation filed comments in this proceeding suggesting that the Commission place certain conditions on the operations of this earth station to ensure that those services with a primary allocation in the United States Table of Frequency Allocations are adequately protected in the frequency bands requested by O3b Limited. See Hughes Network Systems, LLC and EchoStar Satellite Operating Corporation, Comments, filed January 17, 2014. O3b Limited‘s operations have been conditioned to protect other services in the authorization associated with Call Sign $2935, incorporated here by reference, and therefore no further action is necessary to address these concerns. In addition, the comments suggested that O3b Limited had not completed coordination according to its United Kingdom space station authorization. Id. We decline to address this issue because the United Kingdom remains the authority for any coordination required under its authorization. See Amendment of the Commission‘s Regulatory Policies to Allow Non—U.S.—Licensed Space Stations to Provide Domestic and International Satellite Service in the United States, Report and Order, 12 FCC Red 24094, 24174 para. 188 (1997). 90364 ——— Any transmissions in the 27.5—28.35 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band are on a secondary basis with respect _ to LMDS until the provisions adopted in FCC 16—89 go into force. After that, this earth station is considered grandfathered in this band pursuant to 47 CFR § 25.136(a)(2) or (a)(3). ( page 4 of 5 ) FCC Form 488

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION Name: O3b Limited Call Sign: E130107 Authorization Type: Modification of License File Number: SES—MOD—20160712—00641 Non Common Carrier Grant date: 10/19/2016 Expiration Date: 06/24/2030 B) This RADIO STATION AUTHORIZATION is granted subject to the additional conditions specified below: This authorization is issued on the grantee‘s representation that the statements contained in the application are true and that the undertakings described will be carried out in good faith. This authorization shall not be construed in any manner as a finding by the Commission on the question of marking or lighting of the antenna system should future conditions require. The grantee expressly agrees to install such marking or lighting as the Commission may require under the provisions of Section 303(q) of the Communications Act. 47 U.S.C. § 303(q). Neither this authorization nor the right granted by this authorization shall be assigned or otherwise transferred to any person, firm, company or corporation without the written consent of the Commission. This authorization is subject to the right of use or control by the government of the United States conferred by Section 706 of the Communications Act. 47 U.S.C. § 706. Operation of this station is governed by Part 25 of the Commission‘s Rules. 47 C.F.R. Part 25. This authorization shall not vest in the licensee any right to operate this station nor any right in the use of the designated frequencies beyond the term of this license, nor in any other manner than authorized herein. This authorization is issued on the grantee‘s representation that the station is in compliance with environmental requirements set forth in Section 1.1307 of the Commission‘s Rules. 47 C.F.R. § 1.1307. This authorization is issued on the grantee‘s representation that the station is in compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements as set forth in Section 17.4 of the Commission‘s Rules. 47 C.F.R.§ 17.4. The following condition applies when this authorization permits construction of or modifies the construction permit of a radio station. This authorization shall be automatically forfeited if the station does not meet each required construction deadline by the required date of completion unless, before such date(s), a specific application is timely filed to request an extension of the construction deadline(s), supported with good cause why that failure to construct by the required date was due to factors not under control of the grantee. Licensees are required to pay annual regulatory fees related to this authorization. The requirement to collect annual regulatory fees from regulatees is contained in Public Law 103—66, "The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993." These regulatory fees, which are likely to change each fiscal year, are used to offset costs associated with the Commission‘s enforcement, public service, international and policy and rulemaking activities. The Commission issues a Report and Order each year, setting the new regulatory fee rates. Receive only earth stations are exempt from payment of regulatory fees. ( page 5 of 5) FCC Form 488
