                         Earth Station License Modification Application
        By this application, Harris CapRock Communications, Inc. (“Harris CapRock”)
 seeks Commission authority to modify its existing fixed earth station license, Call Sign
 E030253, by adding authority to operate its previously licensed 6.3m Model VertexRSI
 Ku-band gateway earth station (“Vertex 6.3m”) in the 11.45-11.7 GHz (space-to-Earth)
 band and the 13.75-14.50 GHz (Earth-to-space) band (the “extended Ku-band”) while
 communicating with the Telstar 14R satellite. The gateway earth station is located at a
 facility in Houston, Texas and is used to support U.S. and international earth station on
 board vessel (“ESV”) and remote fixed station operations. The requested modification
 will afford Harris CapRock additional operational flexibility and enhance its satellite
 communication network supporting critical maritime and offshore commercial
 operations.
        I.         Background
        Presently under the license, the Vertex 6.3m is authorized to communicate with
 satellites on the Commission’s Permitted Space Station List (“Permitted List”) in the
 11.7-12.2 GHz and 14.0-14.5 GHz bands. Telstar 14R (formerly Estrela do Sul 2), a
 Brazilian-licensed satellite located at the 63° W.L. orbital location, has previously been
 granted U.S. market access and is included on the Commission’s Permitted Space Station
 List (“Permitted List”).1 Accordingly, the Vertex 6.3m can communicate with Telstar

 1
  See Telesat Brasil, Grant of U.S. Market Access, File. No. SAT-PPL-20110112-00012
 (Call Sign S2821) (granted on January 12, 2011).


14R as a point of communication in the conventional Ku-band pursuant to its Permitted
List authority in the license. Harris CapRock now seeks to add the Telstar 14R as an
authorized point of communication for the Vertex 6.3m gateway for extended Ku-band
operations in the 11.45-11.7 GHz and 13.75-14.0 GHz bands.
          Consistent with Section 25.117 of the Commission’s rules, Harris CapRock
provides the attached FCC Form 312 and Schedule B and associated exhibits for relevant
information relating to the gateway earth station’s operational characteristics in the
11.45-11.7 GHz and 13.75-14.0 GHz bands. The remaining technical information in
Harris CapRock’s earth station license and associated application remains unchanged.2
Furthermore, as discussed below, Harris CapRock will comply with the Commission’s
rules and policies governing spectrum use of extended Ku-band frequencies for
geostationary satellite orbit (“GSO”) fixed-satellite service (“FSS”) operations.         The
requested modification will serve the public interest by enhancing Harris CapRock’s Ku-
band satellite communication capabilities, thereby improving the critical services its
provides to a wide array of users in the maritime, oil and gas industries.
          II.    Discussion
          The United States Table of Frequency Allocations (“Table of Allocations”),
Section 2.106 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, identifies conditions for
spectrum use by FSS in the extended Ku-band. In the 11.45-11.7 GHz downlink band,
GSO FSS operations are limited to international systems, i.e., other than U.S. domestic
services. In the 13.75-14.0 GHz uplink band, GSO FSS operations are co-primary with U.S.
government      shipboard   radar   radiolocation   and   National   Aeronautics   and   Space
Administration (“NASA”) Tracking and Data Relay Satellite Systems (“TDRSS”) operations.
As discussed below, Harris CapRock will operate the Vertex 6.3m consistent with the Table
of Allocations and the Commission’s policies governing use of the extended Ku-band.
                 a. 11.45-11.7 GHz Downlink Band
          In the 11.45-11.7 GHz band, operations are co-primary with terrestrial FS and
Harris CapRock’s operations and use of this band by GSO FSS systems is limited to

international systems. Harris CapRock is currently authorized to operate a gateway earth
station at the same location in the extended band.3
        Harris CapRock’s proposed operations in the 11.45-11.7 GHz band are consistent
with the Table of Allocations and similarly approved gateway earth station operations.4
Harris CapRock acknowledges that this downlink frequency band is shared co-equally
with terrestrial systems and coordination with fixed service (“FS”) licensees is required.
The 11.45-11.7 GHz band was previously coordinated at this facility by Comsearch for a
similar Vertex 9.3m gateway earth station and the Comsearch database already includes
full arc (21° W.L. to 143 W.L.), full extended band (11.45 GHz-12.2 GHz) coordination
for this site.
        No FS operations that might be potentially affected by the proposed operations
with T-14R could be authorized without first coordinating with Harris CapRock’s
licensed extended band operations. No such coordination requests have been received.
Because the proposed operations of the Vertex 6.3m will be within the site’s presently
coordinated parameters, the Commission may grant the requested modification
application without “re-coordination” of extended downlink band operations of the
Vertex 6.3m.
        In addition, there is no potential for the proposed operations to cause interference
to other spectrum users because they are earth station receive operations and would be the
victim of interference from terrestrial transmit operations. Harris CapRock expressly
accepts the potential risk of relying on the prior coordination report and future
coordination with its co-located Vertex 9.3m gateway to “protect” the proposed Vertex
6.3m receive operations in this band.
        Finally, Harris CapRock notes that footnote NG52 in the U.S. Table of
Allocations provides that use of the 11.45-11.7 GHz band “by geostationary satellites in
the fixed-satellite service (FSS) shall be limited to international systems, i.e., other than

  See Harris CapRock, File No. SES-LIC-20031028-01500 (Call Sign E030253) (granted
on January 13th, 2004).

 See, e.g., Intelsat License LLC, File No. SES-LIC-20120106-00020, Call Sign E120009
(FCC granted Intelsat authority to operate a fixed gateway earth station in the 11.45-11.7
GHz band in Riverside, California).


domestic systems.”5 The proposed operations, which are limited to supporting gateway
links for ESV terminals on foreign-flagged vessels transiting U.S. and international
waters and offshore oil rigs, are consistent with the policies underlying this provision.
Indeed, previously granted authority to operate at this site in this frequency band strongly
supports this conclusion.
         To the extent necessary, Harris CapRock requests a waiver of footnote NG52 to
grant this modification application. The policies underlying the rule would not be
undermined because extended Ku-band receive operations are already conducted at this
site, so there would be no expansion of such operations into new areas. Furthermore, the
public interest would be served by granting such a waiver, which would enable Harris
CapRock to conduct limited but important gateway operations with T-14R to support the
maritime and oil and gas industries.
                 b. 13.75-14.0 GHz Uplink Band
         Harris CapRock accepts that the 13.75-14.0 GHz band is allocated to FSS Earth-
to-space uplink transmissions on a co-primary basis with U.S. government shipboard
radiolocation services and NASA TDRSS operations. As demonstrated in Exhibit A, Harris
CapRock will operate the Vertex 6.3m earth station in the 13.75-14.0 GHz band in
accordance with the Table of Allocations and FCC Report and Order 96-3776 in order to
protect U.S. government operations from harmful interference.         The Commission has
previously granted authority for fixed earth stations to operate in the extended 13.75-14.0
GHz transmit Ku-band and Harris CapRock proposed use of the Vertex 6.3m will be
consistent with similarly approved operations.7 Finally, Harris CapRock certifies that its
proposed operations of the Vertex 6.3m are consistent with antenna size and power level

requirements in footnote US356 of the Table of Allocations.8
         Grant of the requested authority will serve the public interest by allowing the
near-term use of the extended Ku-band band and ensure uninterrupted satellite
communication services, thereby improving the critical services its provides to a wide
array of users in the maritime, oil and gas industries.
         III.    Conclusion
         Based on the foregoing, Harris CapRock respectfully requests that the
Commission grant its application to modify its existing fixed earth station license, Call
Sign E030253, by adding Telstar 14R as an authorized point of communications for the
Vertex 6.3m in the 11.45-11.7 GHz band and 13.75-14.0 GHz band.
