12. Description Special Temporary Authority to allow Vizada to utilize 13.75 to 14.0 frequencies and emissions for the SBY30O/VER 9 meter antenna at Southbury to communicate with the Telstar 11N (TILIN) satellite at 37.5 W.L. Clarification that the 13.75 to 14.0 authority is not for ESV operations. 13.75 to 14.0 GHz operation is only needed and only being requested for operation of the SBY30O/VER 9 meter antenna to communicate with TI1N.

Vizada, Inc. Request for Special Temporary Authority to Utilize 13.75 — 14.0 GHz Frequencies and Emissions for the SBY3O/VER 9 Meter Antenna to Communicate With the Telstar 1 1N Satellite Pending Application File Number SES—MOD—20090720—00882 SES—STA—20090831—01101 DA 09—2168 Call Sign WB36 Vizada, Inc. ("Vizada") requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA") effective October 8, 2009 to allow Vizada to utilize 13.75 — 14.0 GHz frequencies and emissions for the SBY30/VER 9 meter fixed antenna at Southbury, Connecticut to communicate with the Telstar 11N (TIIN) satellite at 37.5 W.L. Grant of this STA is needed for Vizada to ensure continuity of service to its existing customers. The STA will allow Vizada to utilize the new TIIN satellite to provide Ku—band Earth Stations on Vessels (ESV) service to customers in the TI1IN footprint, thus enhancing the Ku—band ESV service that Vizada currently provides to existing customers through expansion of the service area. In addition, grant of this STA will allow Vizada to offer new Ku—band ESV service to vessels operating in areas which are not currently covered by a Ku—band footprint. The 13.75 — 14.0 GHz portion ofVizada‘s previous application for STA in this matter was dismissed on October 2, 2009 by the Commission without prejudice to refilling (File No. SES—STA—20090831—01101). The basis for the dismissal was that the purpose for the new frequencies (and emissions) is to allow Vizada to utilize the new TIIN satellite to provide Ku—band ESV service to customers in the TIIN footprint but that the 13.75 — 14.0 GHz band is not allocated for ESV operations. Vizada clarifies that the transmissions from the ESVs to the satellite will not be on 13.75 — 14.0 GHz frequencies. The ESVs to receive service via TIIN will operate only in the 10.950 to 11.200, 11.450 to 11.700, 11.700 to 12.200 and 14.000 to 14.500 GHz bands as permitted by Section 25.222 of the Commission‘s rules and existing WB36 ESV authority. Authority is not being requested to utilize the 13.75 — 14.0 GHz frequencies for ESV operations. The authority for the 13.75 — 14.0 GHz frequencies and emissions is only needed and only being requested for operation of the SBY3O/VER 9 meter fixed antenna to communicate with TIIN. Vizada has an application pending before the Commission (SES—MOD—20090720— 00882, filed July 20, 2009 as amended October 6, 2009 ) to modify the WB36 license of the Southbury, Connecticut, fixed transmit/receive earth station to add 13.75 — 14.0 GHz band frequencies and emissions to the authorization for the SBY30/VER 9 meter fixed

antenna at Southbury. The purpose for the 13.75 — 14.0 GHz band frequencies and emissions is to allow Vizada to utilize the new TIIN satellite to provide Ku—band ESV service to customers in the TIIN footprint pursuant to WB36 license authority as previously granted by the Commission. Grant of this STA is in the public interest because it will enable Vizada to provide continuity of service to current customers while transitioning to a satellite that will allow for provision of enhanced service over a larger service area; provide improved safety for ships at sea by offering higher quality communications services at lower costs via a more modern satellite over a larger area of the Atlantic; and provide the opportunity for ESV operators to utilize Ku—band instead of C—band in a larger service area. This directly promotes the Commission‘s policy to encourage ESV operators to use the Ku—band rather than the C—band, See Procedures to Govern the Use of Satellite Earth Stations on Board Vessels in the 5925—6425 MHz/3700—4200 MHz Bands and 14.0—14.5 GHz/11.7—12.2 GHz . Bands, IB Docket No. 02—10, Report and Order, FCC 04—286, 20 FCC Red 674 (2005) at 705, 1 75; Procedures to Govern the Use of Satellite Earth Stations on Board Vessels in the 5925—6425 MHz/3700—4200 MHz Bands and 14.0—14.5 GHz/11.7—12.2 GHz Bands, IB Docket No. 02—10, FCC 09—63, Order on Reconsideration at 3, ([ 2 (rel. July 31, 2009). Allowing Vizada to access the AOR beam of T—1 1N will enable Vizada to provide Ku— band service to customers transiting the Atlantic between North Africa and South America. Customers that heretofore have required a C—band service will therefore be able to utilize a Ku—band service instead. As previously noted, the ESVs will operate only on frequencies permitted by Section 25.222 of the Commission‘s rules and existing WB36 ESV authority. The authority for the 13.75 — 14.0 GHz frequencies and emissions is only needed and only being requested for operation of the SBY30/VER 9 meter fixed antenna to communicate with TIIN. Accordingly, Vizada respectfully requests that the International Bureau grant the STA to be effective October 8, 2009 for a period of sixty (60) days. The communications with T1IIN as well as the Ku—band ESV service will be in full compliance with the Commission‘s Rules as well as all provisions of the WB36 license. Vizada understands and accepts that authority to operate the hub antenna on 13.75 — 14.0 GHz band frequencies will be conditioned on agreement to cease transmissions if required. The 24/7 contact number for the Southbury earth station is 203—262—5000. Any questions with respect to this matter may be directed to James G. Lovelace at (301)838—7909.
