Call Sign $2807


        2.      Operation under this grant of special temporary authority must be on an unprotected and
non—harmful interference basis, i.e., while operating under this temporary authority Gogo LLC must not
cause harmful interference to, and must not claim protection from interference caused to it by, any other
lawfully operating radiocommunication system. Gogo LLC must cease operations immediately upon
notification of such interference and must immediately inform the Commission, in writing, of such an
event.
      3.      Operation pursuant to this authorization must be in compliance with the terms of Gogo
LLC‘s coordination agreement with the National Science Foundation pertaining to operation of aircraft
earth stations in the Ku—Band.
       4.      Pending execution of a coordination agreement with the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), Gogo LLC may not operate in the 14.0—14.2 GHz band within line of sight of
any operational NASA Tracking and Data Relay Satellite Service facility. Upon execution of an
agreement with NASA, Gogo LLC must file the agreement in IBFS File. No. SES—STA—20130107—
00018 and must operate consistent with that agreement.
       5.       Operation pursuant to this authorization outside the United States in the 14.0—14.5 GHz

                                                  1 of 3


band must be in compliance with the provisions of Annex 1, Part C of Recommendation ITU—R M.1643,
with respect to any radio astronomy station performing observations in the 14.47—14.5 GHz band.
       6. When operating in international airspace within line—of—sight of the territory of a foreign
administration where Fixed Service networks have a primary allocation in the 14.0—14.5 GHz band, an
aircraft earth station must not operate in a manner that would produce predicted ground—level power flux
density (pfd) in such territory in excess of the following values unless the foreign administration has
imposed other conditions for protecting its FS stations: —132 + 0.5 x THETA dB(W/(m*~2 MHz)) for
THETA <= 40°; —112 dB(W/(m*~2 MHz)) for 40° < THETA <=90°. Where: THETA is the angle of
arrival of the radio—frequency wave in degrees above the horizontal, and the aforementioned limits relate
to the pfd and angles of arrival that would be obtained under free space propagation conditions.

       7.      Operation pursuant to this authorization must conform with the terms of coordination
agreements between a) the operator of NSS—703 and operators of other Ku—band geostationary satellites
within six angular degrees of NSS—703 and b) the operator of SES—1 and operators of other Ku—band
geostationary satellites within six angular degrees of SES—1. In the event that another GSO Fixed—
Satellite Service (FSS) space station commences operation in the 14.0—14.5 GHz band at a location
within six degrees of any of these space stations, aircraft earth stations operating pursuant to this
temporary authority shall cease transmitting to that space station unless and until such operation has
been coordinated with the new space station‘s operator or Gogo LLC demonstrates that such operation
will not cause harmful interference to the new co—frequency space station.
        8.    Communications between Gogo LLC‘s earth station and the NSS—703 space station must
be in compliance with all existing and future space station coordination agreements reached between the
United Kingdom and other Administrations.
        9.      Gogo LLC must take all necessary measures to ensure that the operation authorized does
not create potential exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation in excess of the FCC exposure
limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310. Measures must be taken to ensure compliance with
limits for both occupational/controlled exposure and for general population/uncontrolled exposure, as
defined in these rule sections. Requirements for restrictions can be determined by predictions based on
calculations, modeling or by field measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65 (available on—line at
ww.fee.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting exposure levels and on methods for
ensuring compliance, including the use of warning and alerting signs and protective equipment for
workers.
       10.    Gogo LLC must maintain a U.S. point of contact available 24 hours per day, seven days
per week, with the authority and ability to terminate operations authorized herein. Gogo LLC must
submit a letter to be included in its license file with the name and telephone number of the point of
contact prior to commencing operation.
        11.    Aircraft earth stations authorized herein must employ a tracking algorithm that is resistant
to capturing and tracking adjacent satellite signals, and each station must be capable of inhibiting its
own transmission in the event it detects unintended satellite tracking.
        12.    Aircraft earth stations authorized herein must be monitored and controlled by a ground—
based network control and monitoring center. Such stations must be able to receive "enable
transmission" and "disable transmission" commands from the network control center and must cease
transmission immediately after receiving a "parameter change" command until receiving an "enable
transmission" command from the network control center. The network control center must monitor

                                                   2 of 3


operation of each aircraft earth station to determine if it is malfunctioning, and each«aircraft earth station
must self—monitor and automatically cease transmission on detecting an operational fault that could
cause harmful interference to a fixed satellite service network.
        13.    Stations authorized herein must not be used to provide air traffic control communications.
        14.      Gogo LLC shall maintain records of the following data for each operating aircraft earth
station (AES): location (latitude, longitude, altitude); aircraft attitude (pitch, yaw, roll); transmit
frequency and occupied bandwidth; data rate; EIRP ; and target satellite. This data must be recorded at
intervals of no more than two minutes while an AES is transmitting and every 30 seconds when aircraft
roll angle is greater than 10 degrees. Gogo LLC must also record instances when AES pointing error
exceeds 0.2 degrees. Gogo LLC must make this data available upon request to an FSS system operator
or the Commission within 24 hours after receiving the request.
       15.     In connection with the provision of service in any particular country, Gogo LLC is
obliged to comply with the applicable laws, regulations, rules, and licensing procedures of that country.
       16.   Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission
may make regarding pending applications. E.g. IBFS File Nos. SES—LIC—20120619—00574, SES—AMD—

12. Description

Gogo LLC     (Gogo)   respectfully requests extension and expansion of the special temporary authority
(STA)   it was granted in File No.       SES—STA—201211121—01032.    Specifically,   Gogo seeks STA for a
period of 60 days beginning January 15,         2013,   to permit operation of up to 20 Ku—band earth
station aboard aircraft       (ESAA)   terminals for in—flight testing.    Authority is sought pending
Commission action on Gogo‘s underlying application as amended for an ESAA blanket license under
Call Sign E120106.


                                                                                        Gogo LLC
                                                                                           Page 1

                 REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

        Gogo LLC ("Gogo") hereby requests extension and expansion of the special temporary
authority ("STA") it was granted by the Commission to operate a transmit/receive earth station
aboard aircraft ("ESAA") for in—flight testing in the Ku—band.‘ Specifically, Gogo requests
authority for a period of 60 days beginning on January 15, 2013, to perform in—flight testing of
up to twenty terminals to be installed on Delta Airlines planes and communicating with the SES—
1 and NSS—703 spacecraft. The proposed geographic area of operations includes the U.S.,
Canada, the North Atlantic and Western Europe." All uplinks will use conventional Ku—band
spectrum (14—14.5 GHz), and for downlinks, Gogo seeks to use conventional Ku—band spectrum
(11.7—12.2 GHz), extended Ku—band spectrum (10.95—11.2 GHz and 11.45—11.7 GHz), and
international Ku—band spectrum (12.5—12.75 GHz), all on an unprotected, non—interference basis.
Grant of the requested STA is consistent with Commission precedent and will serve the public
interest by enabling Gogo to evaluate the terminals‘ operational performance prior to full—scale
deployment of Gogo‘s planned ESAAA network.

        Gogo has filed an application for a blanket license for ESAA operations." That
application includes complete technical information regarding the Gogo ESAA network and
fully describes the AeroSat terminals that will be used in this testing. Gogo incorporates that
information by reference herein.

        Pending Commission action on the Gogo ESAA blanket license application, Gogo sought
authority to initiate testing ofits ESAA network. Gogo was granted Commission STA to
perform ground—based testing of the AMSS terminals in the conventional Ku—band using the
SES—1 and NSS—703 spacecraft." In October 2012, Gogo requested a 180—day STA to operate up

2012 (the "Gogo In—Flight Testing STA").
2      Gogo will activate ESAAA terminals in foreign airspace only if Gogo has received any
necessary authority from the foreign regulator to do so. Gogo has already been granted authority
to operate terminals, or received confirmation that no authority is needed, in a number of foreign
countries and has requests for such authorization or confirmation pending in other jurisdictions.

notice period for the Gogo AMSS Application has closed, and no party has opposed grant of the
application. The only comments filed involve Gogo‘s proposed operations in the 12.2—
12.75 GHz band in ITU Region 2. See Comments of EchoStar Satellite Operating Corporation,
File Nos. SES—LIC—20120619—00574 et al., dated Nov. 16, 2012; Comments of EchoStar
Satellite Operating Corporation and DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC, File Nos. SES—LIC—20120619—
00574 et al., dated Nov. 16, 2012. Because Gogo is not seeking authority here to use the 12.2—
12.75 GHz band in ITU Region 2, the questions raised in the comments are not relevant to the
requested STA.

2012 (testing authority for communications with SES—1); File No. SES—STA—20121009—00908,


                                                                                       Gogo LLC
                                                                                          Page 2

to 30 terminals in flight using the frequencies and satellites identified in the Gogo ESAA
Application." That request remains pending.

       More recently, Gogo requested and received Commission authority to operate a single
ESAA terminal in flight in order to perform testing needed for FAA equipment certification.©
The terminal was authorized to communicate in the conventional Ku—band frequencies with the
SES—1 and NSS—703 spacecraft in the airspace over the continental U.S. and adjacent territorial
waters within a 500—mile radius of the Detroit, MI airport.‘

        Gogo herein seeks extension of the Gogo In—Flight Testing STA for an additional period
of 60 days and expansion of the authority to allow further testing of ESAA terminals now that
the FAA certification tests have been successfully completed. Gogo requests authority that
differs from that granted in the Gogo In—Flight Testing STA in three respects. First, Gogo seeks
authority to deploy and activate up to twenty terminals. Second, Gogo proposes to operate
terminals within an expanded coverage area that encompasses the U.S., Canada, the North
Atlantic and Western Europe to permit testing on a variety of flight routes, including those
between the U.S. and Western Europe. Third, in addition to using conventional Ku—band
spectrum, Gogo seeks authority to receive downlink signals in the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 11.45—
11.7 GHz portions of the extended Ku—band.

        The specific frequencies depend on the spacecraft providing service." The capacity Gogo
will use on SES—1 and on NSS—703‘s spot beam 2 is in the conventional Ku—band. Gogo also
proposes to use NSS—703‘s spot beam 1, which has downlink spectrum in the extended Ku—band,
and NSS—703‘s spot beam 3, which has downlink spectrum in the international Ku—band. As
Gogo has previously stated, the coverage of NSS—703 spot beam 3 is limited to ITU Region 1,
consistent with the Ku—band FSS allocation for the 12.5—12.75 GHz band in that Region."
Furthermore, Gogo will use the 12.5—12.75 GHz band in foreign airspace only if it has received
either enabling authority granted by the relevant foreign regulator or a confirmation that no such
authority is required.




granted Oct. 24, 2012 (extension for SES—1 and expansion of STA to include spot beam 2 on
NSS—703); File No. SES—STA—20121219—01118, granted Dec. 27, 2012 (further extension for
both SES—1 and NSS—703).

        In all other respects, the planned testing will conform to the specifications described in
the Gogo In—Flight Testing STA request and to the conditions adopted when that request was
granted."" Gogo seeks to perform testing only, with no provision of commercial services to
customers for a fee. The testing will be conducted in a manner that is also consistent with the
rules recently adopted by the Commission for ESAA networks, although those rules have not yet
taken effect."‘ A full list of the conditions pursuant to which Gogo proposes to perform testing
under this STA is provided in Attachment A hereto. In order to accommodate the schedule for
the planned further testing, Gogo respectfully requests action on this STA request by January 15.

       Grant of the requested authority will not adversely affect other licensed operations.
Affidavits confirming that the proposed operation of the AeroSat terminals has been coordinated
with operators of the satellites within six degrees on either side of both SES—1 and NSS—703 are
already on file with the Commission."" The Gogo In—Flight Testing STA was coordinated
through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration ("NTIA") for
operations through March 19, 2013." Gogo has entered into a coordination agreement with the
National Science Foundation to protect radioastronomy operations * and has negotiated an
agreement with NASA to ensure protection of Tracking and Data Relay Satellite Service
("TDRSS")facilities." Gogo will also comply with power flux density limits to protect
terrestrial services outside the U.S. In any event, Gogo seeks to operate on an unprotected, non—
harmful interference basis, so operations pursuant to the requested STA will not harm other
regularly licensed Ku—band spectrum users.




10      For example, the conditions imposed require Gogo to operate on a non—interference basis,
to conform to the terms of applicable coordination agreements, and to comply with requirements
to maintain a point of contact with the ability to terminate operations and to perform certain
record—keeping. See Gogo In—Flight Testing STA, grant conditions at 1—2.

Attachment A, Gogo would be barred from operating in the 14.0—14.2 GHz band within line of
sight of an operational TDRSS facility until it has received the signed NASA agreement, and
thereafter would be obligated to comply with the agreement‘s terms.

        Grant of the requested authority is consistent with prior Commission actions * and will
serve the public interest by permitting Gogo to continue developing a competitive ESAA
network that will enhance service to air travelers and airline crew members.

                      Attachment A: Proposed Conditions for Operation

       Gogo proposes to perform the testing described in this STA request pursuant to the
following conditions:

   1. Temporary authority is granted for in—flight testing over the continental U.S. and adjacent
       territorial waters and over Canada, the North Atlantic, and Western Europe.
       Gogo LLC must not cause harmful interference to, and must not claim protection from,
       any other lawfully operating radio station. In the event harmful interference results from
       operation pursuant to this authorization, Gogo LLC must cease operations immediately
       upon notification of such interference, and must immediately inform the Federal
       Communications Commission, in writing, of the incident.
       Operation pursuant to this authorization must be in compliance with the terms of Gogo
       LLC‘s coordination agreement with the National Science Foundation pertaining to
       operation of aircraft earth stations in the Ku—Band.
       Gogo LLC may not operate in the 14.0—14.2 GHz band within line of sight of any
       operational National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Tracking and Data
       Relay Satellite Service (TDRSS) facilities until Gogo LLC has a signed coordination
       agreement with NASA. Once the Gogo LLC coordination agreement with NASA is in
       place, Gogo LLC will comply with the terms of that agreement pertaining to operation of
       aircraft earth stations in the Ku—band in the vicinity of TDRSS facilities.
       Operation pursuant to this authorization must conform with the terms of coordination
       agreements between a) the operator of NSS—703 and operators of other Ku—band
       geostationary satellites within six angular degrees of NSS—703, and b) the operator of
       SES—I and operators of other Ku—band geostationary satellites within six angular degrees
       of SES—1.
       Communications between Gogo LLC‘s earth station and the NSS—703 space station must
       be in compliance with all existing and future space station coordination agreements
       reached between Gibraltar and other Administrations.
       Gogo LLC must take all necessary measures to ensure that the operation authorized does
       not create potential exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation in excess of the FCC
       exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310. Measures must be taken to
       ensure compliance with limits for both occupational/controlled exposure and for general
       population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Requirements for
       restrictions can be determined by predictions based on calculations, modeling or by field
       measurements. The FCCs OET Bulletin 65 (available on—line at ww.fee.gov/oet/rfsafety)
       provides information on predicting exposure levels and on methods for ensuring
       compliance, including the use of warning and alerting signs and protective equipment for
       workers.


                                                                                        Gogo LLC
                                                                                    Attachment A
                                                                                            Page 2

8. Gogo LLC must maintain a point of contact who will be available 24 hours per day,
   seven days per week, with the authority and ability to terminate operations authorized, for
   discussing interference concerns with other licensees and U.S. Government agencies. For
   operations under this STA, the point of contact is: Network Operations Center, Gogo
   LLC, 1250 N. Arlington Heights Road, Itasca, IL 60143, NOC Engineer on Duty,
   Phone: +1 866—943—4662, e—mail: noc@aircell.com.
   Aircraft earth stations authorized herein must employ a tracking algorithm that is resistant
   to capturing and tracking adjacent satellite signals, and each station must be capable of
    inhibiting its own transmission in the event it detects unintended satellite tracking.
10. Aircraft earth stations authorized herein must be monitored and controlled by a ground—
    based network control and monitoring center. Such stations must be able to receive
    "enable transmission" and "disable transmission" commands from the network control
    center and must cease transmission immediately after receiving a "parameter change"
   command until receiving an "enable transmission" command from the network control
    center. The network control center must monitor operation of each aircraft earth station
    to determine if it is malfunctioning, and each aircraft earth station must self—monitor and
    automatically cease transmission on detecting an operational fault that could cause
    harmful interference to a fixed satellite service network.
11. Stations authorized herein must not be used to provide air traffic control communications.
12. Gogo shall maintain records of the following data for each operating aircraft earth
   station: location (latitude, longitude, altitude); aircraft attitude (pitch, yaw, roll); transmit
    frequency and occupied bandwidth; data rate; EIRP; and target satellite. This data shall
    be recorded at intervals of no more than two minutes while an AES is transmitting and
    every 30 seconds when aircraft roll angle is greater than 10 degrees. Gogo shall also
    record instances when AES pointing error exceeds 0.2 degrees. Gogo shall make this
    data available upon request to an FSS system operator or the Commission within
    24 hours after receiving the request.
13. Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission
    may make regarding pending (SES—LIC—20120619—00574, SES—AMD—20120731—00709,
    SES—AFS—20121008—00902, and SES—STA—20121009—00907) or future applications.
14. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this special
    temporary authority is solely at Gogo LLC‘s risk.
15. In the 10.95—11.2 GHz (space—to—Earth) and 11.45—11.7 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency
    bands, Gogo LLC shall not claim protection from interference from any authorized
    terrestrial stations to which frequencies are either already assigned, or may be assigned in
    the future.
16. Each Gogo LLC ESAA terminal shall automatically cease transmitting within
    100 milliseconds upon loss of reception of the satellite downlink signal or when it detects
    that unintended satellite tracking has happened or is about to happen.


                                                                                    Gogo LLC
                                                                                 Attachment A
                                                                                       Page 3

17. Each Gogo LLC ESAAA terminal shall be self—monitoring and, should a fault which can
   cause harmful interference to FSS networks be detected, the terminal must automatically
    cease transmissions.
18. While operating in the international airspace within line—of—sight of the territory of a
    foreign administration where fixed service networks have primary allocation in the Ku—
    band, the maximum power flux density (pfd) produced at the surface of the Earth by
    emissions from a single aircraft carrying a Gogo LLC ESAA terminal shall not exceed
    the following values unless the foreign Administration has imposed other conditions for
    protecting its fixed service stations:

    —132+0.5 + 0           dB(W/(m‘ + MHz))         For          0 <40°
    112                    dB(W/(m‘ + MHz))         For          40° < 0 < 90°

    Where: 0 is the angle of arrival of the radio—frequency wave (degrees above the
    horizontal) and the aforementioned limits relate to the pfd and angles of arrival that
    would be obtained under free space propagation conditions.
19. Prior to operations within a foreign nation‘s airspace, Gogo LLC will ascertain whether
   the relevant administration has operations that could be affected by ESAA terminals, and
   will determine whether that administration has adopted specific requirements concerning
   ESAA operations. When the aircraft enters foreign airspace, the ESAA terminal is
   required to operate under the Commission‘s rules, or those of the foreign administration,
   whichever is more constraining. To the extent that all relevant administrations have
   identified geographic areas from which ESAA operations would not affect their radio
   operations, Gogo LLC is free to operate within those identified areas without further
   action. To the extent that the foreign administration has not adopted requirements
   regarding ESAA operations, Gogo LLC is required to coordinate its operations with any
   potentially affected operations.
