                        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").1 O3b most
recently submitted a request seeking extension of its STA through November 10, 2013.2
O03b, pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission‘s rules," hereby requests a further
extension of its STA covering the 180—day period between November 11, 2013, and May
9, 2014.4

       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 FCC File No. SES—STA—20130620—00515, extended under File No. SES—STA—20130903—00773.
2 See IBFS Application Submission ID 1B2013002165.
3 47 C.E.R. § 25.120.
4 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 prejudice to Commission action on its ESV license application.
