               APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

        Kymeta Corporation (“Kymeta”), pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the Commission’s

Rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.120(b)(3), respectfully requests that the Commission grant it special

temporary authority (“STA”) for a period of 60 days, beginning July 1, 2017, to permit the

operation of up to 25 Ku-band transmit/receive vehicle mounted earth stations (“VMES”) and up

to 5 Ku-band transmit/receive earth stations on vessels (“ESV”) during the pendency of

Kymeta’s application for blanket authorization to operate 5,000 Ku-band VMESs and 1,000

ESVs. See File No. SES-LIC-20170223-00195, as amended on June 14, 2017 (the

“Application”).

        Kymeta seeks this STA so that it can commence limited commercial trials of its

innovative 70 centimeter KyWay1 satellite earth station terminal (the “Terminal”), which

incorporates a next-generation flat panel antenna that uses software and metamaterials

technology to electronically and dynamically steer the antenna beam from a flat thin film

transistor (“TFT”) panel to track the target satellite.


       Kymeta will conduct operations under the STA on a non-interference basis only. Further,

Kymeta acknowledges that grant of the STA, and operations under the STA, will be without

prejudice to the Commission’s consideration of Kymeta’s application for blanket authorization.

       The Terminal complies with all relevant provisions of Sections 25.222 and 25.226 of the

Commission’s Rules. Kymeta has provided a detailed description of the Terminal, together with

detailed exhibits demonstrating compliance with the Commission’s Rules, in the Application.

       The Terminal will operate with a maximum input power of 8 watts, and a maximum

EIRP of 43 dBW.

       Kymeta requests that the Commission expeditiously grant this application for special

temporary authority.
