SES Americom, Inc. Page 1 of 2 REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY SES Americom, Inc. (“SES”) hereby requests special temporary authority (“STA”) for a period of four days beginning December 6, 2011 to permit use of a C-band 2.4 meter temporary-fixed earth station communicating with the NSS-806 satellite at 40.5° W.L. for demonstration of a disaster and humanitarian relief program at the United Nations headquarters. SES is a partner in a Luxembourg government-sponsored UN disaster and humanitarian relief program called “emergency.lu.” Under this program, SES, together with other partners, will provide fast response support for humanitarian disaster relief organizations. SES is supplying a satellite-based communications infrastructure including satellite capacity and services that will ensure the availability of quick and reliable data and voice communications in disaster relief theaters.1 Official launch of the emergency.lu program is scheduled for December 7, 2011 at the UN Headquarters in New York City, and part of the launch event will include a demonstration of the system in operation. The antenna that will be deployed at the UN is a 2.4 meter, inflatable “beach ball” antenna manufactured by GATR Technologies. The Commission has previously issued regular authority for operation of this antenna as a temporary-fixed earth station in the conventional C- band under a license issued to GATR, call sign E090054.2 The technical information filed with the GATR Application includes antenna radiation patterns and a showing regarding compliance with Sections 25.209 and 25.220 of the Commission’s rules3 as well as a radiation hazard analysis.4 SES incorporates those materials by reference herein. SES will be operating at lower power levels than those authorized under call sign E090054 and will therefore comply with the off-axis EIRP density requirements of the Commission’s rules. As noted above, the demonstration will use capacity on NSS-806, a Netherlands-licensed satellite that is on the Commission’s Permitted Space Station list for communications with U.S. earth stations at the 40.5° W.L. orbital location.5 Consistent with the requirements of Section 25.277 of the Commission’s rules, SES is notifying all potentially affected co-primary terrestrial fixed licensees of the temporary operations proposed under this STA.6 A copy of the notification document, which also contains 1 Additional information about the emergency.lu program can be found at the http://emergency.lu website. 2 See File No. SES-LIC-20090330-00381 (“GATR Application”). 3 See id., Exhibit A. 4 See id., Radiation Hazard Analysis. 5 See New Skies Satellites, N.V., Order, DA 01-513, 16 FCC Rcd. 7482 (Sat. Div., rel. Mar. 29, 2001). 6 The proposed demonstration site is also located in close proximity to another 2.4 meter C-band antenna that has already been coordinated with terrestrial licensees for the relevant portion of the satellite arc. See HNS License Sub, LLC, File No. SES-MOD-20090518-00602 (Call Sign E040436), granted Oct. 14, 2009, at Exhibit C (coordination report for earth station located at UN Plaza in New York, NY for operations in the conventional C-band with satellites in the arc

SES Americom, Inc. Page 2 of 2 full technical data regarding the planned demonstration operations, is attached hereto. The following SES personnel will be conducting the demonstration and can be contacted in the event any issues arise during the proposed operations: Jean-Damien Leclercq: +352 621 194 863 Alan Kuresevic: +352 691 711 133 Grant of the requested STA will serve the public interest by allowing SES to evaluate and demonstrate the ability of the emergency.lu satellite communications platform to supply quick-response connectivity and support humanitarian disaster relief efforts. between 18° W.L. and 58° W.L.). The power levels of the operations proposed in the instant STA will be lower than the power levels coordinated for the HNS antenna.
