East Rutherford, NJ; Santa Clara, CA; Philadelphia, PA; Pasadena, CA; Glendale, AZ; Houston,
TX; and Orlando, FL) in the United States. The earth station will communicate with the
Horizons 1 satellite (call sign $2475) at 127° W.L. orbital location on the following
frequency bands: (space—to—Earth) 11700—12200 MHz and (Earth—to—space) 1400—14500

                                Request for Sgecial Temporary Authority

        Pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(4),‘ DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC ("DIRECTV") requests
special temporary authority ("STA") for a period of 30 days commencing on June 1, 2016 to
deploy a 1.2m transportable Ku—band antenna. The transportable antenna will be used to cover
the 2016 COPA America Centenario soccer tournament, which will take place from June 3—26,
2016, across 10 cities in the United States." Grant of this STA serves the public interest because
it will provide necessary capacity for communication of this important sporting event.

       The earth station will communicate with the Horizons 1 satellite (call sign $2475) at the
127° W.L. orbital location." The earth station will operate on the 14.0—14.5 GHz (uplink) and
11.7—12.2 GHz (downlink) frequencies. The attached technical data provides information on the
operating parameters of the earth station.

        Grant of this STA is in the public interest because it will enable DIRECTV‘s customer to
provide enhanced communications for the COPA America Centenario soccer tournament.
Moreover, grant of the requested STA will not cause harmful interference to any facilities
operating in the Ku—band. The earth station will operate pursuant to routine Ku—band parameters.
in the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to transmissions to or
from its earth stations, DIRECTV will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference.

        In light of the above, DIRECTV respectfully requests Commission approval of this STA
request.
