Call Sign: E150128 GRANTED | Inte rnational Bureau File No.: SES—STA—20151119—00860 Approved: / Special Temporary Authority Telesat Network Services, Inc. ("Telesat") is granted Special Temporary Authority ("STA") for 60 days, starting December 15, 2015, to operate an ASC Signal 9.4 meter antenna located in Mount Jackson, Virginia to communicate with U.S. licensed GSO satellite Telstar 12V (S2933) at orbital location 15 degrees W.L on the 29300—29868 MHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band. This grant of STA is subject to the following conditions: 1) Operations will not exceed the operational power levels and parameters requested and coordinated. 2) Operations under this STA shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from, interference caused to it by any other lawfully operating station and it shall cease transmission(s) immediately upon notice of such interference. 3) Grant of this STA is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may make regarding other pending and or future Telesat‘s application, e.g., IBFS File No. SES—LIC—20151014—00689, E150128. 4) Transmitter(s) must be turned off during antenna maintenance to ensure compliance with the FCC—specified safety guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency radiation in the region between the antenna feed and the reflector. Appropriate measures must also be taken to restrict access to other regions in which the antennas‘ power flux—density levels exceed the specified guidelines. 5) 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.fee.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. 6) Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this STA is solely at Telesat‘s risk. 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.

SECTION 3507.

REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY Telesat Network Services, Inc. ("Telesat"), pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission‘s rules, hereby requests Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to operate a fixed 9.4—m antenna at its Mt. Jackson, VA teleport in the manner described herein. Telesat respectfully requests that its STA begin on December 14, 2015, for a period of 60 days, to permit testing of facilities that will communicate with the Telstar 12 Vantage ("T12V") satellite. The T12V satellite is planned for launch on November 24, 2015. The Commission has authorized Skynet Satellite Corporation, a Telesat affiliate, to operate the Telstar 12V satellite at 15°W.L. Specifically, the antenna will be used with a co—located 2.4—m temporary—fixed antenna to test the diversity switching functionality between the Mt. Jackson teleport and a proximate earth station site in Middletown, VA.2 Telesat has filed an application for permanent authority of this 9.4—m antenna and another in Middletown to support the services provided on the T12V satellite in the Ka—band.> The Mt. Jackson 9.4—m antenna will be the primary one during nominal operation, but during periods of rain fade at Mt. Jackson and lesser atmospheric attenuation conditions at Middletown, the Middletown 9.4—m antenna will be used to transmit to and receive from Telstar 12V. When Middletown is active, the signals to be transmitted and that are generated at Mt. Jackson are switched onto a fiber optic link between the two sites. Similarly, the satellite signals received at Middletown are switched to the fiber optic link. In order to test and tune the switching equipment and the fiber optic link, the 2.4—m temporary—fixed antenna will simulate a user terminal both transmitting and receiving. In addition, it will uplink a Ka—band pilot carrier to be received at the 9.4—m antennas to allow their receive patterns to be measured. The subject antenna will be located within a secured perimeter at the Mt. Jackson teleport to which only authorized employees would have access. Telesat is incorporating by reference the radiation hazard report thatit submitted with its underlying request. In addition, Telesat is incorporating by reference the 28 GHz Frequency Coordination Report and 18 GHz Frequency Analysis Report to demonstrate that coordination has been successfully completed with terrestrial operators. 1 FCC File No. SAT—LOA—20141010—00107. 2 The STA request seeking authority for the 2.4—m temporary—fixed antenna has been submitted under IBFS Submission 1B2015002249. 3 FCC File Nos. SES—LIC—20151014—00689 and SES—LIC—20151016—00712. Because grant of these license applications will not be possible prior to the date on which testing must commence, Telesat is submitting the instant STA requests to cover the operation of the referenced 9.4—m antenna on a limited basis.

Finally, Telesat is attaching to this request a copy of the Schedule B that it submitted with its underlying application for permanent authority. The Schedule B attached hereto has been modified to identify in red the more limited transmit frequencies that Telesat is seeking in the instant STA request. Grant of this application will serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity by allowing Telesat to test and calibrate its ground network system to support a newly launched satellite. Accordingly, and for good cause shown, Telesat respectfully requests that its STA be granted in time for it to commence testing under this 60—day STA on December 14, 2015.
