Applicant: HNS License Sub, LLC Call Sign: E150076 File No.: SES—STA—20151214—00934 Special Temporary Authority (STA) HNS License Sub, LLC is granted extension to Special Temporary Authority for 180 days beginning March 03, 2016, to use its Gilbert, AZ, Ka—band earth station, to communicate with: the AMC—15 satellite(call sign $2180) at orbital location 105° W. L. Primary satellite; the EchoStar XVII (Jupiter 1) satellite (call sign $2753) at 107.1° W.L. orbital location; the AMC—16 satellite (call sign $2181) at 85° W.L. orbital location; the EchoStar IX satellite (call sign $2179) at 121° W.L. orbital location; the Galaxy 28(nee IA—8) $2160/Telstar 8(IA—8) $2205 at 89°W.L. orbital location; and ViaSat—1 satellite (call sign $2747) at 115° W.L. orbital location to test gateway Earthstation to provide advanced broadband satellite services underthe following conditions: 1. Operations are restricted to center frequency 29.6875 GHz (Earth—to—space) within coordinated emission and powerlimits and on 19.7 — 20.2 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency band. 2: All operations under this grant of STA shall be on an unprotected and non— harmfulinterference basis. HNS License Sub, LLC— shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim protection from interference by any other lawfully operating radio communication system. 3. Grant ofthis STA is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may make regarding pending or future HNS License Sub, LLC applications. 4. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuantto this STA is solely at HNS License Sub, LLC‘s risk. & Operations of this earth station with AMC—15 satellite at permanent orbital location 105.° W.L., during the period when SES—STA—20150928—00642 expired to the grant of this license was authorized pursuantto Section 1.62 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.62.

HNS License Sub, LLC Request to Renew STA Page 1 of 1 Request for Renewal of Special Temporary Authority Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(4),‘ HNS License Sub, LLC (Hughes) requests a 180—day renewal of its special temporary authority (STA) (File No. SES—STA—20150928—00642) to test a fixed earth station in Gilbert, Arizona, at 28.5005 GHz (uplink) and 19.7—20.2 GHz (downlink). Grant of this STA serves the public interest as it will enable Hughes to proceed with time— sensitive testing of new gateway earth stations to ensure that they are properly installed. The earth station will be used as one of the gateways for the Jupiter 2 (EchoStar XIX) satellite network, which will provide advanced broadband satellite services to U.S. consumers.* An application for regular authority for this earth station was approved by the Commission on December 7, 2015." Grant of this STA is in the public interest because it will enable Hughes to test the antenna of this 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 will 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 (28.35 GHz to 28.6 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 $2735), AMC—16 satellite at 85° W.L. (call sign $2181), EchoStar IX satellite at 121° W.L. (call sign $2143), Galaxy 28 satellite at 89° W.L. (call sign $2160), 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 to the initial STA application." ! 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(4). * 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. * See IBFS File No. SES—LIC—20150604—00332. * See IBFS File No. SES—STA—20150928—00642.
