                  Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority

       The International Bureau previously granted the request filed by O3b Limited
(“O3b”) for special temporary authority (“STA”) to conduct earth station antenna tests
via the O3b satellite system (the “Prior STA Tests”) using up to three 2.2m earth station
antennas at a facility in Melbourne, Florida 1 and extended the STA through December
30, 2014. 2

      Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission’s rules, 3 O3b hereby requests an
STA extension enabling it to continue the Prior STA Tests during the 180-day period
between December 31, 2014, and June 29, 2015.

       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 earth stations. By granting O3b’s Prior 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.
