Applicant: O3b Limited
Call Sign: E140107
File no.: SES—STA—20150213—00079
Special Temporary Authority (STA)



O3b Limited ("O3b") is granted extension for 180 days to continue to operate two 2.4 meter
General Dynamics Satcom antennas at its earth station located at Haleiwa, Hawaii (21° 40° 17.8"
NL/158° 01‘ 54.9" WL) to communicate with United Kingdom‘s authorized non—
geosynchronous orbit (NGSO) satellites in the fixed satellite service (FSS) operates by O3b.
Operations pursuant to the STA are limited to provide telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C)
and are subject to the terms of its application, the Commission‘s Rules, and the following
conditions.

   1. Frequencies are 27.6—28.4 GHz, 28.6—29.1 GHz uplink and 17.6—18.GHz, 18.8—19.3 GHz
      (downlink).
      Operations are on a secondary basis and O3b must not cause harmful interference to
      stations operating on a primary basis and must not claim protection from stations
      operating on a primary basis secondary.
      Operations in the 17.8—18.3 GHz band does not conform to the U.S. Table of Frequency
      Allocations, 47 C.F.R §2.106, but is being granted only at this location for the limited
      purposes of demonstrating the O3b system‘s capabilities to potential government
      customers and that grant of this STA is without prejudice to any determination that the
      Commission may make regarding authorizations for government or commercial fixed
      satellite service in the 17.8—18.3 GHz band within the U.S.
      Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission
      may make regarding any pending or future application to communicate with O3b‘s
      NGSO FSS system.
      Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this special
      temporary authority is solely at O3b‘s risk.
      The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the antenna 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 wherever such exposures might occur.
       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. Compliance can be accomplished in most cases by
       appropriate restrictions such as fencing. 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 www.fec.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.


. Operations during the period March 10 to the date of this grant were authorized pursuant
   to Section 1.62 of the Commission‘s rules 47 C.F.R. § 1.62.
._ 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.

                  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 operate its 2.4m earth station
located in Haleiwa, Hawaii (the "Hawaii 2.4m Earth Station") in accordance with the
parameters specified in its underlying license application.?

      Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission‘s rules,3 O3b hereby requests an
extension of its STA covering the 180—day period between March 10, 2015, and
September 6, 2015.

        O3b‘s extension request is supported by good cause. An extension will enable
O3b to continue to communicate with O3b‘s system and provide support and
redundancy for the telemetry, tracking and command ("TT&C") and data feed
functions while its license application is pending. 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, 03b respectfully requests that its STA
extension request be granted.
