May 10, 2011 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12"" Street, S.W. NTELSAT Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority Napa, California C/Ku—band Earth Station Testing Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority‘ for 180 days to test a 1.2 meter Ku—band antenna." Specifically, Intelsat intends to communicate with its Galaxy 16 satellite at 99.0° W.L. in the following frequencies: 14002—14038 MHz (uplink) and 11702—11738 MHz (downlink).3 During the testing, the antenna will be located at Intelsat‘s Napa, California teleport. Intelsat seeks to test the feasibility of the antenna for certain services. Because the proposed testing will assist Intelsat in meeting customer demand for service, grant of this STA request is in the public interest. In support of this request, Intelsat is attaching Exhibit A, which contains information showing that the operation of the earth station will be compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful interference into any lawfully operating facility. Specifically, Annex 1 and Section a) of Annex 2 of Exhibit A provide the characteristics of the proposed transmissions. The transmitted eirp density of —25.8 dBW/4 kHz will be less than the value of —14 dBW/4kHz at which the antenna complies with Section 25.218 of the FCC‘s rules, according to the statement provided by the antenna manufacturer and reproduced in Section b), Annex 2 of Exhibit A. ‘ Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $175.00 filing fee and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS"). > The Ku—band antenna that will be tested is mounted on the back of a 2.4 meter C—band antenna, with a switchable feed. Intelsat intends to seek separate authority to utilize the C—band antenna portion of this combined device. * Intelsat is simultaneously filing a 30—day STA request in order to begin testing on May 25, 2011.

Page 2 The radiation levels generated by the antenna will be within safety limits, according to a statement provided by the antenna manufacturer and reproduced in Section c), Aunex 2 of Exhibit A. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference.

c) Radiation Hazard Exposure Maximum Safe RF Exposure Power Levels BUC Density BUC Density Notes: The Peak Power Density shown abowe. assumes a 100 percent duty cycle modulation of the BUC or RF power amplifier, at maximumcapacity.. The nominal power level seiting for operating within a network is always limited to a value between 50 and 75 percentof the maximum capacityof the amplifierto prevent spurious transmissions. AddiGionally, typical network system iransmissions are duty cycle modulated between 1 and 10 percent to accommodate muitiple users. Thesetwo factors reduce the average power level of the RF iransmissions by a factor of 13 to 200 times fower than the already safelevels tabulated above. Anysystem equiped with a BUC or RF power ampifierequal to or less than the‘Max Safe BC Power" stated above, is gaurenteed to be safe outsidethe confines of the radome walls.
