Attachment 1 REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY Infosat Able Holdings, Inc. (“Infosat”) is the licensee of a VSAT system that operates under the Call Sign E070072. At present, the VSAT license authorizes Infosat to operate up to 10,000 1.2m remote terminals on an ALSAT basis. Infosat is filing concurrently herewith an application seeking to modify its VSAT license by adding authority for a set of 2.4m remote terminals. 1 Infosat hereby seeks Special Temporary Authority (“STA”), for a period of 60 days commencing on May 27, 2011, to operate a single 2.4m remote terminal for the limited purpose described in this request. The remote terminal would be used to maintain continuity of service at a mine located in a remote area of Alaska. The C-band link which is used at present at the mine for voice and data communications is about to be severed. There are no terrestrial services in this area, so a satellite link is the only means of communicating with corporate headquarters as well as with public safety personnel should an accident occur. Infosat proposes to operate the 2.4m remote terminal at the mine on an STA basis to communicate with Horizons I, which is on the Permitted Space Station List. The coordinates for the mine are shown in the form that this exhibit accompanies. The technical characteristics of the proposed operations are shown in the attached Schedule B of Form 312 to Infosat’s application for modification of its VSAT license. All operations will be on conventional Ku-band frequencies. Given the safety of life and property considerations at stake, grant of the instant request is in the public interest. Accordingly, Infosat respectfully requests that its STA request be granted. 1 IBFS Submission ID IB2011001405.
