Conditions:
Applicant: Harris CapRock Communications Inc.
File Number: SES—STA—20121115—01017
Call Sign: E060157

Harris CapRock Communications Inc..(Harris) is granted Special Temporary Authority, from June
28, 2013 to August 26, 2013, to operate Intellian V60 and V80 ESV antennas in the 14.0—14.5 GHz
frequency band with the Galaxy 25 (S2154) space station at the 93.3° W.L. orbital location within the
parameters specified in the underlying application, IBFS File No. SES—MOD—20121018—00947 and under
the following additional conditions.

1. All operations shall be on an unprotected and non—harmful interference basis, i.e., Harris shall
not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from, interference caused to it
by any other lawfully operating station.

2. In the event that there is a report of interference, Harris must immediately terminate
transmissions and notify the FCC in writing.

3. Harris must make all reasonable and customary measures to ensure that the earth station does
not create a potential for harmful non—ionizing radiation to persons who may be in the vicinity of
the earth station when it is in operation. The earth station operator shall be responsible for
assuring that individuals do not stray into the regions around the earth station where there is a
potential for exceeding the maximum permissible exposure limits required by 47 C.F.R. §1.1310.
This shall be accomplished by means of signs, caution tape, verbal warnings, placement of the
earth station so as to minimize access to the hazardous region, and/or other appropriate means.


4. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this special
temporary authority is solely at Shell‘s risk.


5. 4) Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission
may make regarding pending Harris‘ application, IBFS File Nos. SES—MOD—20121018—00947.


6. This action is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated
authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, and is effective immediately. Petitions for reconsideration under
Section 1.106 or applications for review under Sections 1.115 of the Commission‘s rules, 47
C.FE.R. §§ 1.106, 1.115, may be filed within thirty days of the date of the public notice indicating
that this action was taken.                    e

        Re:      Request _for Special             Temporary     Authority     _—        Harris    CapRock
                 Communications, Inc.

    Pursuant to Section 25.120(b) of the Rules and Regulations ("Regulations") of the
Federal     Communications      Commission       ("Commission"),   Harris    CapRock
Communications Inc. ("HARRIS CAPROCK") seeks Commission consideration for a
Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to operate Earth Stations on Vessels ("ESVs")
while an application for permanent authority is being reviewed. On October 18, 2012,
HARRIS CAPROCK filed an application to modify its existing ESV license to include
the Intellian V60 and V8O‘ antennas (File No. SES—MOD—201210148—00947, callsign
E060157).

    According to Section 25.120(b)(1) of the Regulations, "the Commission may grant a
temporary authorization only upon a finding that there are extraordinary circumstances
requiring temporary operations in the public interest and that delay in the institution of
these temporary operations would seriously prejudice the public interest."

    HARRIS CAPROCK is a global provider of fully managed communications solutions
for remote and harsh environments. The proposed application would authorize HARRIS
CAPROCK to operate ESVs on vessels that routinely perform new construction and
maintenance of subsea facilities in the Gulf of Mexico. The communication links at issue
will carry video images of subsea structures as well as their construction and
maintenance. The proper supervision of subsea operations is paramount to the prevention
of construction disasters as well as the safety of personnel engaged in such endeavors.
This is an extraordinary circumstance that requires temporary operations in the public
interest. The delay in the institution of these temporary operations would seriously
prejudice the public interest.

    The analysis in the principal application has shown that the Intellian V60 and
Intellian V8O0 antennas conform to the spectral density envelopes outlined in Section
25.222 of the Regulations when limited to —22.30 dB/4KHz and —20.13 dB/4KHz

‘ Intellian V60 is a Ku—band 60cm diam. stabilized antenna. The Intellian V80 is a Ku—band 80cm diam.
Stabilized antenna. Both operate with a radome.                                     ‘


respectively, at the feed. Harris CapRock will operate within these limits. Furthermore,
Intellian has certified that the antennas comply with the 100ms automatic shut—off for an
off—axis deviation of more than 0.5 degrees from the target satellite." The analysis in the
application has also shown that radiation levels at the proposed terminals will be within
the exposure limits of 47 CFR §1.1310

    Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the Regulations, the Commission may grant
temporary authorization for a period not to exceed 60 days, if the STA has not been
placed on public notice, and the applicant plans to file a request for regular authority for
the service. In the instance case, the Commission has not placed the STA application on
public notice. Furthermore, HARRIS CAPROCK has filed an application for permanent
authority. HARRIS CAPROCK is asking the Commission to grant it STA beginning
November 19, 2012. The planned satellites are G25 (93W) and Telstar 14 (63W).




                                      Sincerely,

                                      /s/ Raul Magallanes
