          Re:          Request for Special Temporary Authority
                       Riverside, Califormmia Earth Station EQ40125

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority ("STA")‘ for
30 days, commencing August 31, 2017, to use its Riverside, California C—band earth station—call sign
EO40125—to provide launch and early orbit phase ("LEOP") services for Intelsat 37e. Intelsat 37e is
expected to be launched on August 31, 201 7. The LEOP period is expected to last approximately 30
days.

The proposed operations will be performed using the following frequencies and frequency bands:
6421.5—6425.0 MHz, and 5850.0—5853.5 in the uplink (LHCP/V); and 4197.75 MHz, 4198.25 MHz,
4198.75 MHz, and 4199.25 MHz in the downlink (LHCP/H). The LEOP operations will be coordinated
with all operators of satellites that use the same frequency bands and are in the LEOP path." All
operators of satellites in that path will be provided with an emergency phone number where the licensee
can be reached in the event that harmful interference occurs.




‘ Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $200.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter
electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing System ("IBFS").

The 24x 7 contact information for the Intelsat 37e mission is as follows:

                 Ph.:    (703) 559—7701 — East Coast Operations Center (primary)
                         {310) 525—5591 — West Coast Operations Center (back—up)

                 Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell.

In further support of this request, Intelsat herewith attaches Exhibit A, which contains technical
information that demonstrates that the operation of the earth station will be compatible with its
electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful interference into any lawfully operating
terrestrial facility. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to
transmissions to or from its earth station, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the
interference.

Grant of this STA request will allow Intelsat to help launch the Intelsat 37e satellite. This, in turn, will
help provide additional capacity to customers at the 18.0° W.L. orbital location and thereby promotes the
public interest.

Please direct any questions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (703) 559—6949.

Respectfully submitted,
