                  Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority

      The International Bureau previously granted a request filed by O3b Limited
(“O3b”) for special temporary authority (“STA”) to conduct tests via the O3b satellite
system using a 1.2m earth station at the U.S Navy SPAWAR/CODA Lab at the U.S.
Navy Base in San Diego, California. The STA was granted April 29, 20141 and was
subsequently extended the STA through April 28, 2016.2

       Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission’s rules,3 O3b hereby requests a
further extension of its STA covering the 30-day period between May 29, 2016, and
November 25, 2016.

        O3b’s extension request is supported by good cause. An extension will enable
O3b to continue its testing and evaluation of O3b services that could benefit the U.S.
Navy. By granting O3b’s initial STA request, the Bureau already has found that
facilitating these activities is in the public interest.

       Accordingly, and for good cause shown, O3b respectfully requests that its STA
extension request be granted.
