Applicant:       Gogo, LLC
File No:         SES—STA—20160624—00 IOG R ANTED
Call Sign:       E120106
Special Temporary Authority               (ArefiptionslSuredd
Gogo LLC (Gogo) is granted special temporary authority for a period of 60 days, beginning July
6, 2016, to operate up to 200 earth station aboard aircraft (ESAA) terminals (0.24 meter AeroSat
model HR6400 and 0.74 meter ThinKom model 2Ku) to communicate with Intelsat 20 (Call Sign
$2847), a U.S.—licensed spacecraft located at 68.5° E.L. Operations are authorized using the
14.00—14.50 GHz (Earth—to—space) and 10.95—11.20 GHz, 11.45—11.70 GHz and 12.25—12.75 GHz
(space—to—Earth) frequency bands, under the following conditions:

1. Operations are on an unprotected and non—harmful interference basis. Gogo must cease
operations immediately upon notification of such interference and must immediately inform the
Commission, in writing, of such an event.

2. Operation pursuant to this authorization must be in compliance with the terms of Gogo‘s
coordination agreements with the National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration pertaining to operation of ESAAs in the Ku—sand.

3. Operations for the AeroSat model HR6400 antennas will not exceed the maximum input power
into the antenna flange of 35.48 W.

4. Operation pursuant to this authorization outside the United States in the 14.00—14.50 GHz band
must be in compliance with the provisions of Annex 1, Part C of Recommendation ITU—RM.
1643, with respect to any radio astronomy station performing observations in the 14.47—14.50
GHz band.

5. 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 14.00—14.50 GHz
band, an ESAA 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 radiofrequency 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.

6. Operation pursuant to this authorization must conform to the terms of coordination agreements
between the operator or Intelsat 20 and operators of other Ku—band geostationary satellites within
six angular degrees of Intelsat 20. In the event that another GSO Fixed—Satellite Service (FSS)
space station commences operation in the 14.0—14.5 GHz band at a location within six degrees of
this space station, ESAAs operating pursuant to this temporary authority shall cease transmitting
to that space station unless and until such operation has been coordinated with the new space
station‘s operator or Gogo demonstrates that such operation will not cause harmful interference to
the new co—frequency space station.


7. Gogo must operate in accordance with the off—axis EIRP spectral densities supplied to Intelsat
in obtaining the satellite operator certification for Intelsat 20 (Call—Sign: E120106). Gogo shall
automatically cease emissions within 100 milliseconds ifthe ESAAA transmitter exceeds the off—
axis EIRP spectral—densities supplied to the target satellite operator and transmission shall not
resume until Gogo conforms to the off—axis EIRP spectral densities supplied to the target satellite
operator.

8. Gogo 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—line at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting exposure
levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of warning and alerting signs
and protective equipment for workers.

9. The licensee shall ensure installation ofterminals on aircraft by qualified installers who have
an understanding ofthe antenna‘s radiation environment and the measures best suited to
maximize protection of the general public and persons operating the aircraft and equipment. A
terminal exhibiting radiation exposure levels exceeding 1.0 mW/cm2 in accessible areas, such as
at the exterior surface of the radome, shall have a label attached to the surface of the terminal
warning about the radiation hazard and shall include thereon a diagram showing the regions
around the terminal where the radiation levels could exceed 1.0 mW/cm2.

10. Gogo must maintain a U.S. point of contact available 24 hours per day, seven days per week,
with the authority and ability to terminate operations authorized herein. Gogo must submit a letter
to be included in its license file with the name and telephone number of the point of contact prior
to commencing operation.

11. ESAAs 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 event it detects unintended satellite tracking.

12. ESAAs 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 ESAA to determine if it is malfunctioning, and each ESAA must self—
monitor and automatically cease transmission on detecting an operational fault that could cause
harmful interference to a fixed satellite service network.

13. Stations authorized herein must not be used to provide air traffic control communications.


14. For each ESAAA transmitter Gogo shall maintain records of the following data for each
operating ESAA, a record ofthe 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 time intervals no greater than one
(1) minute while the ESAAA is transmitting. The ESAA operator shall make this 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.

15. Antenna elevation for all operations must be at least 5 degrees above the geographic horizon
while the aircraft is on the ground.

16. Gogo shall comply with any pertinent limits established by the International
Telecommunication Union to protect other services allocated internationally.

17. In connection with the provision of service in any particular country, (Gogo is obliged to
comply with the applicable laws, regulations, rules, and licensing procedures of that country.

18. Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission
may make regarding pending or future Gogo‘s applications.                             ~

19. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this STA is solely
at Gogo‘s risk.

20. This action is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegated
authority, 47 C.F.R, § 0.261, and is effective immediately.
