Harris Corporation Request For Extension of Special Temporary Authority 2.4m C Band Temporary Transportable Earth Station Prospect, CT; Lat. 41—30—22.9 N, Long. 072—59—50.1 W REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY Harris Corporation ("Harris") hereby requests an additional extension of the FCC Special Temporary Authority ("STA") originally granted to Harris on December 1, 2015 under FCC File No. SES—STA—20151119—00854 and subsequently extended on December 22, 2015 (FCC File No. SES—STA—20151222—00961), February 2, 2016 (FCC File No. SES—STA—20160202—00112), March 8, 2016 (FCC File No. SES—STA—20160308—00201), and April 11, 2016 (FCC File No. SES—STA—20160411—00334. Harris requests an extension of thirty days from the existing STA expiration date of May 15, 2016. As noted in the original STA request, Harris had proposed and has now deployed a 2.4m Prodelin 2244 temporary fixed C—Band terminal‘ to a location in Prospect, Connecticut in order to support time—critical engineering development work on the FAA‘s* Alaska Satellite Telecommunication Infrastructure (ASTI) modernization program which serves to modernize the National Airspace (NAS) surveillance and FAA Air—to—Ground communications in Alaska. Harris continues to experience technical issues with the multiplexer used in conjunction with the ASTI program which is resulting in timing and synch loss issues. The temporary installation of the 2.4m Prodelin 2244 C—Band terminal in Prospect, Connecticut will continue to provide a platform to evaluate the technical issues associated with the technologies that are being deployed as part of the ASTI program. Although Harris had expected to have the associated issues rectified in April 2016, it now anticipates that full resolution of the technical issues will be completed by September 2016. Thus, additional STA extensions will likely be requested. Harris submits that a grant of this extension will serve the public interest because it will assist the FAA‘s mission of ensuring flight safety and will further the ASTI and NAS modernization programs. ‘ As reflected in the supplemental submission to the original STA filing, made on November 30, 2015, the temporary fixed earth station will communicate with the AMC—8 Satellite. 2 Harris Corporation, serves as the current FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure contractor (see attached letter).

ANALYSIS OF NON—IONIZING RADIATION for HARRIS CORPORATION Site: GDC_ATSI State: CT Latitude: 41 30 22.9 Longitude: 72 59 50.1 (NAD83) 11—12—2015 The Office of Science and Technology Bulletin, No. 65, October 1985 and revised August 1997, specifies that the maximum level of non—ionizing radiation that a person may be exposed to over a six minute period is an average power density equal to 5 mW/cm**2 (five milliwatts per centimeter squared) for a controlled environment. For an uncontrolled environment, the maximum level of non—ionizing radiation that a person may be exposed to over a thirty minute period is an average power density equal to 1 mW/cm**2 {(one milliwatt per centimeter squared). It is the purpose of this report to determine the maximum power flux densities of the earth station in the far zone, near zone, transition zone, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge and the ground. Parameters which were used in the calculations: Antenna Diameter, (D) = 2.4000 m Antenna Surface Area (Sa) = pi(D**2) /4 = 4.5239 m**2 Wavelength at 6.1750 GHz (lambda) = 0.0485 m Transmit Power at Flange (P) = 2.3000 Watts Antenna Gain at Earth Site (GES) = 42.2000 dBi = 16595 .8691 ' Power Ratio: AntiLog (GES/10) pi = 3.1415927 Antenna Aperture Efficiency (n) = 0.6000

1. FAR ZONE CALCULATIONS Distance to the Far Zone (Df) = (n) (D**2) 71.2577 m Far Zone Power Density 0.5982 W/m**2 h 3 @ in bd rd I 1 0.059%8 mW/cm**2 2. NEAR ZONE CALCULATIONS Power Flux Density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of this Zone. The Zone is contained within a cylindrical volume which has the same diameter as the antenna. Beyond the Near Zone, the Power Flux Density will decrease with distance from the Antenna. Distance to the Near Zone (Dn) = D* *2 = 29.6907 m 4*lambda Near Zone Power Density (Rn) = 16.0(n)Pp = 1,2202 W/m**2 pi(D**2) 0.1220 mW/cm**2 3. TRANSITION ZONE CALCULATIONS The Power Density begins to decrease with distance in the Transition Zone. While the Power Density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition Zone, the Power Density decreases inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Zone. Since the maximum Power Density in the Transition Zone will not exceed the Near Zone values, it is not calculated.

Harris Corporation Request For Extension of Special Temporary Authority 2.4Am C Band Temporary Transportable Earth Station Prospect, CT; Lat. 41—30—22.9 N, Long. 072—59—50.1 W Non—Compliant Antenna Statement Re: 2.4 Meter Temporary Fixed Earth Station C—Band: 3700 — 4200 MHz and 5925.0 — 6425.0 MHz Harris Corporation ("Harris" or "Applicant") proposes to use a Prodelin 2244, 2.4 meter antenna for its proposed temporary fixed earth station located in Prospect, CT at the coordinates of 41—30—22.9 N, 072—59— 50.1 W. This antenna is, in terms of performance and technical characteristics, identical to the Prodelin model 1244 antenna. The Prodelin 1244 does not strictly comply with 25.209 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Pursuant to the Part 25 Earth Station Fifth Report and Order, the International Bureau (Bureau) provides a List of Approved Non—Routine Earth Station Antennas. Specifically the website http://www.fcee.gov/ib/sd/nresa lists non—routine earth station antennas licensed for use by one or more U.S. earth station operators since March 15, 2005. "The Commission has ruled that an Earth station applicant proposing to use an antenna on this list may no longer be required to attach antenna radiation plots as an exhibit to their applications, as required by Section 25.132 (b)(3) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.132 (b)(3). Rather, they need only to provide an attachment to their applications citing the particular non—routine earth station antenna they plan to use, and an application file number and call sign of a license in which that type of non—routine antenna has been previously approved." Accordingly, Harris submits the application file number and call sign, File No. SES—LIC—20060302—00342 (Call Sign: £060075), of a previously licensed Prodelin 1244, 2.4 meter earth station, which indicates that the 2.4 meter antenna proposed in this application will operate without conflict. The applicant agrees to accept any adjacent satellite interference in the 4 GHz receive band as a result of the performance of the antenna in the 1° to 1.5° region. The applicant understands that no adjacent satellite interference protection will be available in the 1° to 1.5° regions. The applicant understands that adjacent satellite interference protection applies only to the extent of the criteria set forth in §25.209. Should the use of this antenna cause interference to other systems; the applicant agrees to terminate transmission upon notice from the Commission.
