timeintervals no greater than one (1) minute while the AES is transmitting. The ESAA operator shall makethis data available, in the form of a comma delimited electronic spreadsheet, within 24 hours of a request from the Commission, NTIA, or a frequency coordinator for purposes of resolving harmful interference events. A description ofthe units (i.e., degrees, minutes, MHz . . .) in which the records values are recorded will be supplied along with the records. 11. Panasonic must take all necessary measures to ensure that the operation authorized 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. 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. Requirements for restrictions can be determined by predictions based on calculations, modeling or by field measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65 (available on—lineat ww.fee.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting exposure levels and on methodsfor ensuring compliance, including the use of warning and alerting signs and protective equipment for workers. 12. Antenna elevation for all operations must beat least 5 degrees above the geographic horizon while the aircraft is on the ground. 13. Panasonic shall comply with any pertinent limits established by the International Telecommunication Union to protect other services allocated internationally. 14. In connection with the provision ofservice in any particular country, Panasonic is obliged to comply with the applicable laws, regulations, rules, and licensing procedures ofthat country. 15. Grantofthis authorizationis without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may make regarding any pending or future applications. 16. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this special temporary authority is solely at Panasonic‘s risk. 17. Panasonic is afforded thirty days from the date of action to decline this temporary authorization as conditioned. Failure to respond within this period will constitute formal acceptance ofthe authorization as conditioned. 18. This action is issued pursuantto Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, and is effective immediately. y» 180 da drth Con ditifans" Fiho5Es—57q—20140218—00/43 t og/%/gme lcfls ep

00845. 3. Operation under this grant of special temporary authority must be on an unprotected and non—harmful interference basis, i.e., while operating under this temporary authority Panasonic must not cause harmful interference to, and must not claim protection from interference caused to it by, any other lawfully operating radiocommunication system. Panasonic must cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference and must immediately inform the Commission, in writing, of such an event. 4. Operation pursuant to this authorization must be in compliance with of Panasonic‘s coordination agreements with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and National Science Foundation pertaining to the operation ofaircraft earth stations in the Ku—band. (See e.g., "Coordination Agreement for the Joint Usage of the Band 14.0 — 14.5 GHz between the National Science Foundation and Panasonic Avionics Corporation," Version 1.1, signed on December 18, 2009). 5. Operation pursuant to this authorization outside the United States in the 14.0—14.5 GHz band must be in compliance with the provisions of Annex 1, Part C of Recommendation ITU—R M.1643, with respect to any radio astronomy station performing observations in the 14.47— 14.5 GHz band. 6. When operating in international airspace within line—of—sight of the territory of a foreign administration where Fixed Service networks have a primary allocation in the 14.0—14.5 GHz band, an aircraft earth station must not operate in a manner that would produce predicted ground—level power flux density (pfd) in such territory in excess of the following values unless the foreign administration has imposed other conditions for protecting its FS stations: —132 + 0.5 x THETA dB(W/(m*~2 MHz)) for THETA <= 40°; —112 dB(W/(m*~2 MHz)) for 40° < THETA <= 90°. Where: THETA is the angle of arrival of the radio—frequency wave in degrees above the horizontal, and the aforementioned limits relate to the pfd and angles of arrival that would be obtained under free space propagation conditions. 7. Aircraft earth stations authorized herein must employ a tracking algorithm that is resistant to capturing and tracking adjacent satellite signals, and each station must be capable of inhibiting its own transmission in the eventit detects unintended satellite tracking. 8. Aircraft earth stations authorized herein must be monitored and controlled by a ground—based network control and monitoring center. Such stations must be able to receive "enable transmission" and "disable transmission" commands from the network control center and must cease transmission immediately after receiving a "parameter change" command until receiving an "enable transmission" command from the network control center. The network control center must monitor operation of each aircraft earth station to determine if it is malfunctioning, and each aircraft earth station must self—monitor and automatically cease transmission on detecting an operational fault that could cause harmful interference to a fixed satellite service network. 9. Stations authorized herein must not be used to provide air traffic control communications. 10. For each ESAA transmitter Panasonic shall maintain records of the following data for each operating aircraft earth station (AES), a record of the aircraft location (i.e., latitude/longitude/altitude), transmit frequency, channel bandwidth and satellite used shall be time annotated and maintained for a period of not less than one year. Records shall be recorded at 2 Id.
