Testing is authorized under the following conditions. 1) All operations shall be on an unprotected, non—interference basis. 2) In the event of any harmful interference, cease operations immediately and inform the Commission, in writing, immediately. 3) All operations must be within the parameters of the frequency coordination report and the radiation hazard reports submitted under amended Inmarsat the, IBFS File Nos. SES—LIC—20120426— 00397 application. 4) Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may make regarding pending Inmarsat application, IBFS File Nos. SES—LIC—20120426—00397 and SES— AMD—20120823—00781. 5) Space—to—earth operations in the 18512—18548 MHz frequency band are not authorized by this grant but must not cause interference other radio operators. 6) Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this special temporary authority is solely at Inmarsat‘s risk. 7) Inmarsat 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.P.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. 8) 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. ; eC€6Sip3oetRp—O9V1 i«g\kw‘}*@mmw If Sion (or other identifics} GRANTEL j | International Burean / Approves

SECTION 3507.

Inmarsat Hawaii Inc. Request for Special Temporary Authority Exhibit A Description of STA Request Inmarsat Hawaii Inc. ("Inmarsat Hawaii") hereby requests special temporary authority ("STA") to test its new Lino Lakes, Minnesota gateway earth station facility (the "Lino Lakes gateway") which is in the final stages of construction.‘ This STA request includes the same technical parameters as a previous STA request that was granted earlier this year." The Lino Lakes gateway will provide essential TT&C and feeder link services for the Inmarsat 15—F2 satellite using a 13.2 meter antenna. The I5—F2 satellite is scheduled for launch in early 2014. Inmarsat Hawaii currently has an earth station application pending, seeking authority for the Lino Lakes gateway antenna to communicate with the IS5—F2 satellite." Inmarsat needs to ensure that the Lino Lakes gateway antenna is operating properly well in advance of the 15— F2 satellite launch and arrival at the 55° W.L. orbital location. This application seeks STA to test the Lino Lakes gateway antenna with another satellite, Anik F2, located at the 111.1° W.L. orbital location.* The antenna tests will consist of uplink transmissions only from the Lino Lakes gateway antenna. The transmissions will consist of continuous wave carriers from the Lino Lakes gateway antenna to the Anik F2 satellite at 111.1° W.L. The signals from the Lino Lakes gateway antenna will be transmitted down from the Anik F2 satellite to Telesat‘s Winnipeg teleport facility in Canada using previously authorized frequencies and will be monitored and measured by Inmarsat in order to verify the Lino Lakes gateway earth station antenna performance (e.g., peak gain and side lobe patterns). The below table provides the carrier parameters to be used for the Lino Lakes gateway antenna performance verification testing (uplink only). Uplink Carrier designation 1KOONON Allocated bandwidth 1 kHz Transmit antenna diameter 13.2 m Transmit antenna gain 69.2 dBi Maximum uplink EIRP 70 dBW * The Lino Lakes gateway consists of one 13.2 meter antenna. The antenna coordinates, listed on the STA application form, are latitude 45° 7‘ 56.0" N and longitude 93° 5‘ 44.0" W. ° IBFS File No. SES—STA—20130604—00540 ; Call Sign E120072 (granted June 27, 2013 for 30 days commencing on June 28, 2013). * See, File Nos. SES—LIC—20120426—00397; SES—AMD—20120823—00781; Call Sign E120072 ("Lino Lakes Application"). * The Anik F2 satellite has been authorized to provide service in the United States permitting U.S. earth station operators authority to access the satellite. File No. SAT—PPL—20041004—00194; Call Sign $2646. See, Telesat Canada, Petition for Declaratory Ruling For Inclusion of Anik F2 on the Permitted Space Station List; Petition for Declaratory Ruling to Serve the U.S. Market Using Ka—band Capacity on Anik F2, Order, DA 02—3490, 17 FCC Red. 25,287 (Int‘l Bur. 2002) as modified by Public Notice Report No. SAT—00268; DA No. 05—241 (Jan. 28, 2005).

Moreover, the proposed maximum EIRP density for testing operations is within the maximum EIRP density included in that Comsearch report.© Inmarsat Hawaii Inc. incorporates by reference the technical information contained in those prior filings. Grant of the requested STA will serve the public interest, convenience and necessity because it will help ensure that this new earth station facility performs according to its design specifications and can reliably be used to control and communicate with the 15—F2 satellite. Inmarsat respectfully requests that the Commission grant STA beginning August 19, 2013 for period of 30 days. ° See, Lino Lakes Application, File No. SES—LIC—20120426—00397, Exhibit E. © See Id.
