1. CONCLUSIONS An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment, based upon the restrictions noted in the Summary of Results (Section 2). Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 10/13/2011 Page 3 of 10

2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of the proposed earth station. Each of the cases, which exceeded the interference objective on a line-of-sight basis, was profiled and the propagation losses estimated using NBS TN101 (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the signal levels to acceptable magnitudes in most cases. The following companies reported potential great circle interference conflicts that did not meet the objectives on a line-of-sight basis. When over-the-horizon losses and frequency separation are considered on the interfering paths, sufficient losses exist to negate harmful interference from occurring with the proposed transmit-receive earth station. Further, the transmit spectrum will be limited to frequencies 6094.0 to 6107.0 MHz, 6139.2 to 6166.0 MHz, and 6382.0 to 6423.0 MHz. Company AT&T Mobility Puerto Rico PRWireless, Inc. No other carriers reported potential interference cases. Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 10/13/2011 Page 4 of 10

3. SUPPLEMENTAL SHOWING Pursuant to Part 25.203(c) of the FCC Rules and Regulations, the satellite earth station proposed in this application was coordinated by Comsearch using computer techniques and in accordance with Part 25 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Expedited coordination data for this earth station was sent to the below listed carriers with a letter dated July 22, 2011. An Information-only letter reducing the transmit power was forwarded on October 6, 2011. Company ALL AMERICAN CABLE AND RADIO INC AT&T Mobility Puerto Rico AT&T Mobility Virgin Islands, Inc.
