                                                                     Request for Special Temporary Authority
                                                                                                    Exhibit

                      REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

       Overon America (“Overon”), pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission’s Rules, 47
C.F.R. § 25.120, hereby requests Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) for short-term
transmission of a non-common carrier fixed earth station operating in the conventional C-band.
The proposed operation will be conducted using one antenna uplinking exclusively to the Intelsat
805 satellite at 304.5 degrees east longitude. STA authority is sought for a period of six (6) days
beginning November 4, 2012, concluding November 9, 2012. Grant of this request will serve the
public interest by ensuring that Overon is able to provide a continuous video uplink feed
covering the Presidential Election and Hurricane Sandy recovery effort from a central location in
Washington D.C. that will be distributed to North American and Latin American broadcasters
and cable network providers for local distribution.

        The transmit carrier Overon seeks to uplink will be within the conventional C-band. The
carrier will be a simplex 18 MHz emission centered at 6157 MHz with ¾ forward error
correction coding and quad phase RF modulation. The attached Comsearch frequency
coordination and interference analysis report indicates that this carrier will not interfere with any
other coordinated C-band services. Furthermore, the accompanying radiation hazard analysis
demonstrates that the earth station can be operated safely within the guidelines established by the
Office of Engineering and Technology.1

       Overon understands that operation of this earth station pursuant to STA will be on a
sufferance-only basis without interference protection rights, that operation of the above-
referenced carrier cannot create harmful interference into other spectrum users, and that the FCC
may instruct Overon to discontinue communications without advanced notice at the
Commission’s discretion.

      The proposed deployment will occur on a rooftop inaccessible to the general public and approximately 95’
      above street level. Professional engineers will man the earth station, and will ensure that near field exposure to
      the antenna is restricted.
