Operations pursuant to the STA are subject to the Commission‘s Rules, and the following conditions: 1. Operations are limited to the following frequency bands and emissions: Frequency Band Emissions Maximum E.LR.P. Maximum E.LR.P. Density (dBW) (dBW/A4kHz) — 17800—18600 MHz 216MG7D 45 —1.7 17800—18600 MHz 54MG7D 45 4.3 18800—19300 MHz 216MG7D 45.6 —1.7 18800—19300 MHz 54MG7D 45 4.3 27600—28$400 MHz 216MG7D 60.5 13.3 27600—28400 MHz 54MG7D 60.5 19.3 28600—29100 MHz 216MG7D 60.5 12.3 28600—29100 MHz 54MG7D 60.5 19.3 2. 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. 3. 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 03b 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. 4. 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.fcee.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. 5. 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. 6. Operations of this station during the period from expiration of SES—STA—20150130— 00049 to the grant of this special temporary authority was authorized pursuant to Section 1.62 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.62. 7.

SECTION 3507.

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 1.2m earth stations located in Bristow, Virginia (the "Bristow Integration Earth Station") in accordance with the parameters specified in its underlying license application.? Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission‘s rules,} 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 03b 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 03b 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 ECC File No. SES—STA—20150130—00049. 2 FCC File No. SES—LIC—20150310—00138, Call Sign E150018. 3 47 C.E.R. § 25.120.
