12. Description Special Temporary Authority is requested on behalf of ICO Global Communications (‘IC0‘) to provide comparison readings to verify the operational capabilities and performance of an ICO antenna located in North Las Vegas, NV and ICO‘s recently launched, geosynchronous satellite, G1. Uplink transmissions will be performed only in the 2000—2015 MHz frequency band. Downlinkl transmissions will be in the 2180—2200 MHz frequency band.

Attachment B SES Americom, Inc. ("SES Americom‘") seeks to withdraw a portion ofthe pending requests for special temporary authority ("STA"), File Nos. SES—STA—20080521— 00667/68, to use its licensed earth stations at Brewster, WA, Call Signs E990067 and E990068, to participate in testing of a U.K.—licensed geostationary mobile satellite services ("MSS") satellite, ICO G1, at 92.85° W.L. In addition, SES Americom submits as Attachment C an acknowledgement from the local frequency coordinator for Brewster, WA, that the planned operations have received concurrence from BAS licensees in Eastern Washington State, provided that daily reports are submitted to the local frequency coordinator by the ICO G1 operator. Specifically, SES Americom asked to transmit and receive S—band signals in the 2000— 2015 MHz frequency band in the uplink, and in the full 2180—2200 MHz frequency band in the downlink. For purposes of this STA request, SES Americomhereby withdraws its request to receive S—band signals in the 2180—2200 MHz frequency band. The tables containing the relevant technical parameterthat were previously submitted would instead read as follows: Table 1 Frequency Maximum Maximum Band Antenna Emission Tx/Rx EIRP EIRP density Carrier function (MHz) polarization designator mode (dBW) (dBW/AkHz) 2000.00—2015.00 R 156KG7W T 10.0 —5.90 QPSK test carrier 2000.00—2015.00 R 41K6GTW T 25.0 14.80 BPSK calibration carrier 2000,00—2015.00 R NON T 49.70 49.70 CW carrier for calibration Table 2 Ant gain: Transmit and receive Total power at antenna flange (watts) Total EIRP forall carriers (dBW) 34.3 dBi at 2.0 GHz 30.0 54.3 34.9 dBi at 2.15 GHz Table 3 Frequency Range of Ant.
