Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority The International Bureau previously granted the request filed by O3b Limited (“O3b”) for special temporary authority (“STA”)1 to operate its 1.2m earth stations located in Bristow, Virginia (the “Bristow Integration Earth Station”) in accordance with the parameters specified in its underlying license application.2 Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission’s rules,3 O3b requests an extension of authority, for a period of 180 days, to operate two (2) 1.2 meter antennas at a facility in Bristow, VA, with the O3b FSS NGSO satellite system licensed by the United Kingdom in the 27.6-28.4 GHz and 28.6-29.1 GHz (Earth-to-space) and the 17.8-18.6 GHz and 18.8-19.3 GHz (space-to-Earth) frequency bands. O3b’s extension request is supported by good cause. An extension will enable O3b to continue to integrate and test new 1.2m earth station terminals before they are deployed to customers or demonstration sites. 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-20150130-00049. 2 FCC File No. SES-LIC-20150310-00138, Call Sign E150018. 3 47 C.F.R. § 25.120.
