VIZADA, INC. KA249 PROGRESS TOWARD FULL COMPLIANCE WITH C-BAND ESV RULES FILE NO. SES-MOD-20070523-00709 AND SES-STA-20100304-00294 April 30, 2010 At the request of the International Bureau staff, applicant Vizada, Inc. (Vizada) had been submitting reports regarding its progress toward full compliance with the Commission’s C-Band ESV rules. As explained in further detail below Vizada is discontinuing submission of the reports inasmuch as it has withdrawn the waiver requests that prompted the need for the reports. In the above-referenced modification application, Vizada requested partial temporary waivers of three subsections of the ESV rules: subsections 25.221 (a)(1)(iii)(A), 25.221 (a)(4) and 25.221 (a)(12)1. Subsection 25.221 (a)(1)(iii)(A) requires each C-Band ESV terminal to cease transmissions automatically if the angle between the orbital location of the target satellite and the axis of the main lobe of the antenna exceeds 0.5°. Subsection 25.221 (a)(4) requires ESV operators to record the location of each vessel carrying C-band ESV equipment at intervals no greater than every twenty minutes. Subsection 25.221 (a)(12) requires C-band ESV operators to automatically cease transmission if an ESV operates in violation of the terms of its coordination. Vizada reported that it was in full compliance with 25.221 (a)(4) and withdrew the request for the waiver of that subsection by a September 16, 2008 letter to the Commission. By letter dated April 5, 2010 it reported that all ESVs receiving C-Band service via the Santa Paula teleport are also in compliance with subsections 25.221 (a)(1)(iii)(A) and 25.221 (a)(12) and withdrew its request for temporary waiver of those subsections. As all requests for waivers have now been withdrawn Vizada is discontinuing submission of further progress reports. Any questions should be directed to James G. Lovelace at 301-838-7909. 1 Formerly known as subsections 25.221 (a)(7), 25.221 (c)(1) and 25.221 (f) in the original ESV regulations. The numbers were changed in the 2009 version of the regulations but the text and substance are unchanged.
