Telesat Network Services, Inc. ("Telesat") is granted Special Temporary Authority ("STA") for
30 days, starting December 14, 2015, to operate a temporary—fixed Andrews 2.4 model
2.4 meter antenna located at Telesat‘s teleport in Mount Jackson, Virginia to communicate
with U.S. licensed GSO satellite Telstar 12V (S2933) at orbital location 15 degrees
W.L in the 18306—19103 MHz, 19700—20070 MHz (space—to—Earth) and 28350— 28872
MHz, 29300—29500 MHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands. 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)    Use of the frequency bands, 18.3—19.1 GHz and 19.7—20.2 GHz, by the earth station at
          Mount Jackson, Virginia, must be in accordance with the US334 coordination
          agreement between Skynet Satellite Corporation (Skynet) as the operator of Telstar 12
          VANTAGE (TI2V) ($2933) satellite network and the U.S. government as the operator
          of the U.S. government satellite networks operating in the Ka—band frequencies.

    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.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.


     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.

                    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
temporary—fixed 2.4—m mobile 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 30 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.2

        Specifically, the temporary—fixed antenna will be used to test the diversity
switching functionality between the Mt. Jackson teleport and a proximate earth station
site in Middletown, VA. Telesat anticipates operating at each site a 9.4—m antenna to
support the services provided on the T12V satellite in the Ka—band.>

      The Mt. Jackson 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 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.A—m mobile 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 also
providing herewith a radiation hazard report.

      In addition, Telesat is providing a Frequency Coordination Report to
demonstrate that coordination has been successfully completed with terrestrial
operators in the 28 GHz band.*

1 Telesat notes that it is concurrently filing herewith a second STA request for an additional 180 days to
continue operation of the subject facility from January 14, 2016. Telesat anticipates that it will require a
period through July 2016 to complete the subject testing and to make the appropriate network
calibrations.
2 ECC File No. SAT—LOA—20141010—00107.
3 FCC File Nos. SES—LIC—20151014—00689 and SES—LIC—20151016—00712. In addition to the instant request,
Telesat will be submitting STA requests to cover the operation of the referenced 9.4—m antennas, as grant
of those license requests will not be possible prior to the date on which testing must commence.
4 Telesat notes that it has not sought frequency protection for its proposed temporary receive operations
and is willing to accept any interference it receives during the testing.


       Finally, Telesat is attaching to this request a completed Schedule B in which it
furnishes the technical details that relate to the proposed operations.

       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 30—day
STA on December 14, 2015.

                                             INTRODUCTION

The FCC adopted new guidelines and procedures in 1996 for evaluating environmental effects
of radio frequency (RF) emissions. In order to provide assistance in determining whether
proposed or existing transmitting facilities comply with the new guidelines, the FCC Office of
Engineering and Technology revised OET Bulletin 65. The revised version updates limits for
Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) in terms of electric and magnetic field strength and
power density for transmitters operating at frequencies between 300 kHz and 100 GHz. This
bulletin was adopted by the FCC in their General Docket No. 97—303 on August 25, 1997. In
order to comply with the requirements of the Report and Order, calculations to determine the
power flux densities in the far field, near field, and reflector regions of the earth station
antenna have been made and are contained in this study.

The FCC guidelines incorporate two separate tiers of exposure limits that are dependent on the
situation in which the exposure takes place and the status of the individuals who are subject to
exposure. The earth station transmitting equipment and antenna are located within a
controlled area and not accessible to the general public. Entry is restricted to employees who
have been made fully aware of the potential for human exposure and can exercise control over
their exposure. Therefore occupational / controlled exposure maximum power density limits
are used in this study.

The FCC Office of Engineering and Technology suggests a method for calculating the maximum
values of the power densities emanating from an aperture antenna in OET bulletin 65. This
method is used to determine the power densities associated with the satellite antenna.

The Mount Jackson Ka—Band satellite earth station will be equipped with an amplifier having a
maximum output of 10 watts. The transmitter will feed a 2.4 meter antenna via a transmission
link with no loss. The following calculations will be based on a maximum output power at the
antenna flange of 10 watts:



Antenna Surface: The maximum power density directly in front of the antenna may be
expressed as:
                                4P
                            surface ~—   4



                where:     S surface = maximum power density at the antenna surface
                              P = power fed to the antenna
                              A= physical area of the aperture antenna


                                                                       EXHIBIT A
                                                                       Radiation Hazard Study
                                                                       2.4 meter Ka—Band




Using the parameters for the Mount Jackson antenna:

Near— Field Region: In the near field of the main beam the power density can reach a maximum
before it begins to decrease with distance. The extent of the near field can be described by the
following equation:

                                                              D2
                                                  R       =L—
                                                      *       41

                 where: R,, = extent of near field
                             D =maximum diameter
                             A =wavelength

   Using the parameters for this antenna:

                  A         0.01 meters @ 30000 MHz
             R,,            (2.4 meters) * / 4(0.01 meters)

             R nf            144   meters
                      1




The magnitude of the on axis power density varies according to location in the near field.
However, the maximum value of the near field, on axis, power density can be expressed by the
following equation:



                                                          _ 167P
                                                   C          :D

       where: Snf= maximum near field power density
                 n = aperture efficiency
              P = power fed to the antenna
              D = antenna diameter
       Using the parameters for this antenna:
                                                          2

                                                                        Radiation Hazard Study
                                                                        2.4 meter Ka—Band

              n = .65

             S,=     5.7 Watts / meter‘
             S,=     0.6 mWw /cm‘



Far Field Region: For purposes of evaluating RF exposure, the distance to the beginning of the
far field region can be approximated by the following equation:




                                          R
                                                  _ 0.6D°
                                              J       A

             where: R, = distance to the beginning of far field
                    D = diameter of antenna
                    4A =wavelength

             Using the parameters for this antenna:
                   R, =0.6 (2.4 meters) * / .01 meter
                   Rff = 346 meters


The power density in the far field region of the antenna pattern decreases inversely as the
square of the distance. The power density in the far field region of the radiation pattern can be
estimated by the equation:


                                         S, = PG/4mR 2
             where: S,,.= power density {(on axis)
                     P = power fed to antenna
                     G = power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest
                     R = distance to the point of interest




       Using the parameters for this antenna:


                                                                    EXHIBIT A
                                                                    Radiation Hazard Study
                                                                    2.4 meter Ka—Band

               $,, = 10 Watts (1065169/20) / 4 (g) (346)
               Sff = 3235937 / 1500919

               S,=    2.2 Watts / meter‘
               S,=    0.2 mW /cm‘



Region between Feed and Reflector: The RF energy radiated from the feed system is highest at
the feed horn aperture. The power density at any point in this region is expressed by the
equation:



              5frea = P/A
 where:
          A = Cross section area of feed horn in meter‘
           P = Radiated transmitted power in watts

At the sub—reflector surface the power density is:


          Sm = P/A=10 / n (0.1/ 2) = 1455 Watts/meter®
          $m = 146 mW / cm*


                                                                       EXHIBIT A
                                                                       Radiation Hazard Study
                                                                       2.4 meter Ka—Band

                                         CONCLUSION

The results of the above calculations are summarized in the following table.

        Far Field   > 346 meters                    0.2 mW/cm*                  Safe Level


Results of this hazard study indicate that the 5 mW/cm* MPE limit for Occupational/Controlled
Exposure in the 1500 — 100,000 MHz range is not exceeded in areas directly in front of the
antenna in the far field. The region where this limit may be exceeded will be the region
between the reflector and the feed horn. This area is not readily accessible to personnel and
whenever personnel are required to work on the radiating or reflecting parts of the antenna
structure, the transmitter will be turned off. Signs to this effect will be posted at the
transmitter site.

Based on this study of predicted radio frequency levels, it is concluded that operation of this
satellite earth station meets OET Bulletin 65 maximum permissible exposure limits and that no
harmful effects will occur to station personnel or anyone within proximity of the station.

Therefore, in accordance with 47 CFR § 1.1307 (b) of the Commission‘s Rules, preparation and
submission of an Environmental Assessment (EA) is not required.
