Harris Corporation Request for Special Temporary Authority 2.4m C Band Temporary Transportable Earth Station Harris Corporation ("Harris") hereby requests Special Temporary Authority for a sixty day period beginning May 25, 2011 to deploy a 2.4m Flyaway C-Band terminal to a location in Hodgen, Oklahoma in order to support FAA Air Traffic Control operations.1 The terminal will provide communications between aircraft in the area and the Memphis Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC). The existing FAA terrestrial communications are carried via a microwave network, which has recently experiencing disruptions caused by a series of severe weather related events in the area. Satellite technology was selected to provide temporary connections because the Hodgen, Oklahoma location is isolated and there are no other viable networks in the vicinity which could provide the necessary communications to promptly restore this disruption. Deployment of the 2.4m Flyaway C-Band terminal will allow critical air traffic communications to be uplinked via the Harris satellite network back to the Memphis ARTCC and the Air Traffic Controllers until the existing terrestrial system can be repaired and/or replaced. Harris submits that a grant of this application will serve the public interest because it will assist the FAA's mission of ensuring flight safety. 1 Harris Corporation, serves as the current FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure contractor (see attached letter).

U.S. Department 800 Independence Ave., S.W. of Transportation Washington, D.C. 20591 Federal Aviation Administration ASU330-FTI-06-6219 18 January 2006 Harris Corporation Attn: Elizabeth Briscoe Mail Stop F- 11A 1025 West NASA Boulevard Melbourne, FL 32919 Subject: FAA Concurrence for Harris C-Band and Ku-Band License Submissions Dear Ms. Briscoe: This letter serves to affirm that Harris Corporation, the FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure contractor, requires C-Band and Ku-Band Satellite Frequency Licenses to meet the FAA’s data and voice service requirements from remote locations. FAA Satellite communications are essential to the air traffic control and safety of flight within the National Airspace System (NAS). These licenses will also be used in response to emergency operations such as disaster recovery. Granting these licenses is considered in the best interest of the flying public. If you have any questions regarding matter, please call me at 202.493.5963. Sincerely, //s// Susan Eicher FTI Contracting Officer
