SECTION 3507. .

REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY Iridium Satellite LLC and Iridium Constellation LLC (collectively, "Iridium"), pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission‘s Rules, hereby request special temporary authority ("STA") to operate their gateway earth stations located in Tempe, Arizona; Chandler, Arizona; and Fairbanks, Alaska, in the manner identified below.+ Iridium seeks STAs for 30 days commencing on September 16, 20162 These gateway earth stations transmit and receive the feeder links and tracking, telemetry, and command ("TT&C") links for Iridium‘s non—geostationary satellite orbit, mobile satellite service constellation (call sign : S52110). The STAs requested herein are needed for Iridium to satisfy system requirements for TT&C during the launch and early operation phase ("LEOP") of Iridium‘s next generation system, which is known as Iridium NEXT. The Iridium NEXT telecommand signals are transmitted on two carriers, a 29.102 GHz carrier and a 29.298 GHz carrier, using a bandwidth of 1 MHz and a 1M00FID emission designator. Iridium seeks STAs authorizing it to transmit these carriers at 69.1 dBW EIRP and a 69.1 dBW/MHz EIRP density with a transmitter power of 11.7 dBW. Iridium also seeks authority to operate both Iridium NEXT uplink carriers from its gateway earth station in Chandler, Arizona. Iridium‘s license for Chandler includes the 29.1—29.25 GHz portion of Iridium‘s feeder link band that encompasses the 29.102 GHz Iridium NEXT TT&C frequency, but does not include the 29.25—29.3 GHz portion of Iridium‘s feeder link band that encompasses the 29.298 GHz Iridium NEXT TT&C frequency. In addition, Iridium seeks authority to use its Tempe, Chandler, and Fairbanks gateway earth stations to receive 13 Iridium NEXT telemetry carriers spaced at 400 kHz with center frequencies from 19400.2 to 19405 MHz. The emission designator for these telemetry carriers is 200KFID. Iridium‘s request for STAs is supported by good cause. TT&C transmissions are essential to the implementation, health and safety of Iridium‘s constellation, and the authority requested in this filing is needed to implementits TT&C links and provide coverage from all essential facilities. Ensuring the deployment, implementation, health and safety of Iridium‘s constellation is unquestionably in the public interest. 1 The call signs for these gateway earth stations are E050282, E060300, E960131, and E960244. The licensee of the first three call signs is Iridium Satellite LLC. The licensee of the fourth call sign is Iridium Constellation LLC. This exhibit accompanies separate STA requests that Iridium is filing for each call sign. 2 %?e initial launch of Iridium NEXT space stations is scheduled for September 19, 2016, which is on a Monday. Out of an abundance of caution, Iridium is requesting that the term of its STAs commence on the preceding Friday.

Operating in the manner requested in this filing, moreover, presents no concerns of interference to the LMDS stations, Fixed Service stations, and Fixed—Satellite Service stations that share Iridium‘s TT&C/feeder link band. LMDS stations. Iridium shares the 29.1—29.25 GHz portion of its uplink TT&C/feeder link band with LMDS. Iridium has coordinated its proposed uplink operations with LMDS licensees; coordination reports prepared by Comsearch are attached. Fixed Service stations. Iridium shares its 19.4—19.6 GHz downlink TT&C/feeder link band with the Fixed Service. Iridium has coordinated its proposed downlink operations with Fixed Service licensees. Coordination reports prepared by Comsearch concerning those operations are attached.> Geostationary Satellite Orbit ("GSO") Fixed—Satellite Service ("FSS") stations. The 29.25—29.3 GHz band Iridium uses to uplink its feeder link and TT&C transmissions is shared on a co—primary basis with GSO FSS stations. Iridium‘s Tempe and Fairbanks gateway earth stations have been operating on these frequencies for years.A In order to avoid interference to Iridium‘s satellites, GSO FSS earth stations operate in the 29.25—29.3 GHz band only in areas that are widely separated from Iridium‘s gateway earth stations. There are fixed separations in the case of individually—licensed GSO FSS earth stations and exclusion zones around Iridium gateway earth stations in the case of blanket—licensed GSO FSS earth stations. The separation distances required to avoid interference from GSO FSS earth stations to Iridium‘s satellites are far greater than the separation distances that are required to avoid interference from Iridium gateway earth stations to GSO FSS satellites. The locations at which GSO FSS stations transmit in the 29.25—29.3 GHz band, therefore, of necessity are locations that protect GSO FSS satellites against interference from Iridium gateway earth stations. In any event, the Iridium NEXT LEOP operations pursuant to the requested STAs will be on a secondary, unprotected, non—interference basis. Conclusion Accordingly, and for good cause shown, Iridium respectfully asks that its STA requests be granted. 3 Please note that the coordinates shown for Iridium‘s gateway earth stations in the Comsearch reports all are based on NAD83. The coordinates shown in the FCC license for Iridium‘s Chandler gateway earth stations are based on NAD27, and Comsearch converted the coordinates to NADS83. 4 Although Iridium‘s Chandler earth station has not been operating in the 29.25—29.3 GHz band, it is located only 8.5 km (i.e., 5.3 miles) from Iridium‘s Tempe earth station, which has been operating in the 29.25—29.3 GHz band.

1. CONCLUSIONS An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment. Further, there will be no restrictions of its operation due to interference considerations. Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 07/28/2016 Page 3 of 10

2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of the proposed earth station. Each of the cases, which exceeded the interference objective on a line—of—sight basis, was profiled and the propagation losses estimated using NBS TN101 (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the signal levels to acceptable magnitudes in every case. The following companies reported potential great circle interference conflicts that did not meet the objectives on a line—of—sight basis. When over—the—horizon losses are considered on the interfering paths, sufficient blockage exists to negate harmful interference from occurring with the proposed transmit—receive earth station. Company Alaska Wireless Network, LLC No other carriers reported potential interference cases. Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report 07/28/2016 Page 4 of 10

Iridium Constellation LLC Ka—Band Earth Station — Fairbanks, AK (E060300) 4 Frequency Coordination Report COMSEARCH 28 GHz A CommScope Company 1. Summary of Results On behalf of Iridium Constellation, Comsearch performed a coordination notice for all existing and proposed terrestrial licenses within the coordination contours of their existing Ka—Band earth station in Fairbanks, Alaska, licensed under call sign E060300, which will transmit at 28 GHz!. Prior—notification letters were sent to the licensees and a copy of the notification data is provided in section four of this report. The earth station coordination was finalized on July 27, 2016. No objections were received from any of the incumbent 28 GHz licensees. Our notification to the LMDS incumbents was performed under the assumption that the earth station would be operating on a non—interference basis in relation to primary LMDS Block A operations. A contact at Iridium Constellation has been provided in case any concerns may arise in the future. 2. 28 GHz Common Carrier and LTTS Coordination In accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations, the Ka—Band earth station in Fairbanks, Alaska was prior—coordinated by Comsearch. A notification letter and datasheets for this earth station were sent to the following 28 GHz common carrier fixed microwave licensees on June 21, 2016. These licensees are authorized to operate temporary fixed operations from 27.5 to 29.5 GHz on a statewide or nationwide basis.
