(ISAT US) is granted STA for 30 days to conduct testing of one EM Solutions Cobra ("EM Cobra") antenna, manufactured by EM Solutions, at Chantilly, Virginia (38° 53 32.26" N.L./ 077° 26‘ 38.62" W.L.). The testing of antenna will be to operate with the Inmarsat 5 F2 satellite ("ISF2") located at 55° W.L. in the 29.5—30.0 GHz (Earth—to—space) and 19.7—20.2 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency bands under the following conditions: 1. Operations under STA will be in compliance with Section 25.138 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.138, and will be operated through the Lino Lakes Satellite Access station authorized under E120072, SES—LIC—20120426—00397 and monitored by the Inmarsat Network Operations Center (NOC). #3 All operations by ISAT US shall be on an unprotected basis and shall not claim protection from interference caused to it by any other lawfully operating station. 3. In the event that any harmful interference is caused as a result of STA operation, ISAT US shall cease operations immediately upon notification of such an event, and shall inform the Commission immediately, in writing, of the event. 4. Any action taken or expense incurred as a result of operations pursuant to this STA is solely at ISAT US‘s own risks. 3. The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the antenna 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 wherever such exposures might occur. 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. Compliance can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions, such as fencing. 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.fee.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. 6. Grant of this authorization is without prejudice to any determination that the Commission may make regarding ISAT US‘s pending FCC application IBFS File No. SES—MOD—20170817— 00928. 7. 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.

Exhibit 1 REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY (Response to Question 12, FCC Form) L. DESCRIPTION OF STA REQUEST TO TEST ONE MARITIME TERMINAL ISAT US, Inc. ("ISAT US") hereby requests special temporary authority ("STA") to operate for a thirty—day period for testing purposes one EM Solutions Cobra model maritime terminal ("EM Cobra") that is manufactured by EM Solutions at a fixed location to communicate with the Inmarsat 5 F2 (ISF2) satellite in the 19.7—20.2 GHz (space—to—Earth) and 29.5—30.0 GHz (Earth—to— space) bands beginning 28 August 2017. The earth station will be located at the Inmarsat facility in Chantilly, VA. The operations are to test and demonstrate the use of this new maritime terminal. ISAT US is already licensed by the Commission to operate a set of maritime earth stations in the 19.7— 20.2 GHz and 29.5—30.0 GHz bands.‘ Moreover, ISAT has submitted a modification to its existing maritime blanket earth station license E140029 (IBFS File No. SES—MOD— 20170817—00928) to add the EM Cobra terminal and wishes to incorporate the technical specifications listed in that application by reference herein. The EM Cobra will operate with the Inmarsat Global Xpress IS5F2 satellite from the 55° W.L. orbital location and the Lino Lakes Satellite Access Station, which have both been authorized for U.S. market access." ISAT US will be responsible for all technical aspects of the system during the testing and demonstration. The user terminal operations in the spectrum requested will be closely monitored by the Inmarsat Network Operations Center (NOC) and the engineering team associated with the demonstration. Additionally ISAT US requests to operate on a non—interference and non—protected basis. Description of Operations This STA will allow testing and demonstration of a new terminal that will facilitate further deployment of broadband communications to Inmarsat customers. The terminal will be operated from the Inmarsat Chantilly facility in VA for 30 days commencing on 28 August 2017. Operations will be conducted within a 1 mile radius of the following location: Chantilly, VA Latitude = 38° 53‘ 32.2656" Longitude = —77° 26‘ 38.6232". The ISAT US Point of Contact 24/7 during the STA is Inmarsat Network Control in London, England at 011 44 207 728 1616. IL. GRANT OF THE STA WILL SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST Grant of the requested STA will serve the public interest, convenience and necessity because it will enable ISAT US to conduct testing and demonstration of a new terminal ‘ See, ISAT US GX maritime user terminal earth station Call Sign E140029. * See, Inmarsat Mobile Networks, Inc., Granted March 30, 2015, (Call Sign E120072; IBFS File No. SES—LIC— 20120426—00397) ("Lino Lakes Order‘). 1

using the I5F2 spacecraft, within technical parameters consistent with the parameters filed in IBFS File No. SES—MOD—20170817—00928, without creating any risk of harmful interference. ISAT US respectfully requests that the Commission grant STA beginning 28 August 2017 for a period of 30 days.
