This grant of STA is subject to the following conditions: 1) The antennas will operate from a fixed pedestal located at latitude 28° 5‘ 24"N, longitude 80° 38‘ 20.4"W. 2) Operations under this STA shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from, interference caused to it by any other lawfully operating station and it shall cease transmission(s) immediately upon notice of such interference. 3) Grant of this STA is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may make regarding other pending applications, e.g., IBFS File Nos. SES—LIC— 20130528—00455, SES—LIC—20130618—00516 or future STA requests. 4) Transmitter(s) must be turned off during antenna maintenance to ensure compliance with the FCC—specified safety guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency radiation in the region between the antenna feed and the reflector. Appropriate measures must also be taken to restrict access to other regions in which the antennas‘ power flux—density levels exceed the specified guidelines. 5) Transmissions authorized herein must comply with coordination agreements reached between the United Kingdom and other Administrations, including all coordination agreements reached between the United Kingdom and the United States. 6) The earth station EIRP density in the 28.6—29.1 GHz frequency band shall not exceed 36.46 dBW/40 kHz for emission designator 5M12G7D and 27.2 dBW/40 kHz for emission designator 216MG7D. 7) The power flux—density at the Earth‘s surface produced by emissions from O3b‘s NGSO FSS system transmitting to the 2.2 meter antennas operating pursuant to this STA for all conditions and for all methods of modulation shall not exceed the following values under 47 C.F.R. § 25.208(e) and Article 21 of the ITU Radio Regulations.

O3b may not provide any commercial service under this STA. 11) Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this STA is solely at O3b‘s risk. 12) 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. 44 s t * a #4 tas t Conmxifi oas 30 des 565—57p—00(30703—00773 N/A 07/;-'7/&0/3

Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority On August 12, 2013, the International Bureau granted the request filed by O3b Limited ("O3b") for special temporary authority ("STA") to conduct tests at a facility in Melbourne, Florida, of up to three 2.2m earth stations on vessels ("ESVs").! The STA has a term through September 11, 2013. O3b, pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission‘s rules," hereby requests an extension of its STA covering the 30—day period between September 12, 2013, and October 12, 20133 O3b‘s extension request is supported by good cause. An extension will enable O3b to continue its testing so that it may establish performance standards and operational requirements for its ESVs. By granting O3b‘s initial STA request, the Bureau already has found that facilitating these activities is in the public interest. Accordingly, and for good cause shown, O3b respectfully requests that its STA extension request be granted. 1 ECC File No. SES—STA—20130620—00515. 2 47 C.F.R. § 25.120. 3 O3b‘s STA extension request is independent of its separately—filed application for a license to operate ESVs (File No. SES—LIC—20130528—00455), and O3b acknowledges that action on its STA extension request is without prejfudice to Commission action on its ESV license application. 1
