                           Request for Special Temporary Authority


       Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(4),‘ HNS License Sub, LLC (Hughes) requests special
temporary authority (STA) for a period of 30 days starting on December 2, 2015 to test a fixed
Earth station in Roseburg, OR." Grant of this STA serves the public interest as Hughes needs to
run time sensitive testing of new gateway Earth stations to ensure that they are properly imstalled.
        The Earth station which we are seeking STA authority fi)r testing will be used as one of
the gateways for the Jupiter 2 (EchoStar XIX) satellne network." An apphcanon for permanent
authority for this Earth station is currently pending."
       Grant of this STA is im the public interest because it will enable Hughes to test the
antenna ofthis Earth station upon installation This test will enable Hughes to ensure that the
earth station antenna is properly installed and can successfully operate with the Jupiter 2 satellite.
Hughes agrees to perform this test on a non—interference basis. Accordingly, there is no
interference concern In addition, testing will only occur in a frequency range where Fixed
Satellite Services operate on a primary basis (29.5 GHz to 30.0 GHz).
        For purposes of this STA, Hughes requests authority for the Earth station to communicate
with the AMC—15 satellite at 105° W.L. (call sign $2180). This is the primary satellite that
Hughes will transmit to for the testing purposes. Hughes‘ testing may require the Earth station to
transmit to the:
               EchoStar XVII (Jupiter 1) satellite at 107.1 W.L. (call sign $2753),
               AMC—16 satellite at 85° W.L. (call sign S2181),
               EchoStar IX satellite at 121° W.L (call sign $2179),
               Galaxy 28 (nee IA—8) S2160/Telstar 8(IA—8) $2205 at 89°W.L, and
               ViaSat—1 satellite at 115° W.L. (call sign $2747)

       Accordingly, Hughes requests special temporary authority to transmit to those satellites
as well The location data and technical parameters for the testing are provided in Attachment 1
provided with the application.
        For the reasons stated herein, Hughes request that the Commission grant the STA request.




! 47 C.FR. § 25.120(b)(4).
* While an STA is being requested for 30 days, testing is planned to occur over approximately a
four day time period within the 30 days.
* The FCC has authorized the Jupiter 2 (EchoStar XIX) satellite at 97.1° W.L. to access the U.S.
market. See IBFS File Nos. SAT—LOI—20110809—00148 (granted Jul 27, 2012) and SAT—MOD—
20141201—00127 (granted Jun. 23, 2015). The Jupiter 2 satellite is a next generation satellite,
which will provide increased capacity for Hughes‘ satellite broadband services.
