(SES Government Solutions) is granted extension of STA for 60 days to operate a fixed satellite earth station with two 1.8 meter GD/Prodelin model GDST— 1.8M antennas located at a facility in Bristow, Virginia ( 38° 7 0.25" N.L./077°deg 34° 24.5" W.L.) to communicate with O3b‘s in—orbit NGSO FSS satellite system, licensed by the United Kingdom, in the : 17.852—18.068GHz, 18.112—18.328GHz, 18.372—18.588GHz, 18.801—19.017 GHz, 19.055—19.271GHz (space—to—Earth), and 27.652—27.868GHz, 27.912—28.128GHz, 28.172— 28.388GHz, 28.601—28.817GHz, 28.855—29.071GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands under the following conditions: 1. This STA is limited to testing, satellite monitoring, and non—commercial demonstrations purpose. SES Government Solutions may not provide any commercial service under this STA. 2. Coordinated emission carriers will be 1 MOOG7D and 216MG7D. The total input power at the antenna flange for all carriers must not exceed 40 Watts and total output eirp for all carriers must not exceed 68.8 dBW. The associated maximum eirp per carrier for 1M00G7D is 48.6 dBW and for 216MG7D is 68.8 dBW. The associated maximum eirp density per carrier for 1 MOOG7D is 24.6 dBW/4kHz and for 216MG7D is 38.8 dBW/4kHz. 3. Operations in the 17.8—18.3 GHz banddoes not conform to the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R §2.106, but is being granted only at this location for the limited purposes of demonstrating the O3b system‘s capabilities to potential government customers and that grant ofthis STA is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may make regarding authorizations for government or commercial fixed satellite service in the 17.8—18.3 GHz band within the U.S. 4.
