Approved: Special Temporary Authority AC BidCo LLC (AC BidCo) is granted special temporaryauthority extension from SES—STA— 20170428—00486 for 60 days, beginning on September11, 2017, to operate up to 200 earth stations aboard aircraft (ESAAs) (0.24 meter AeroSat model HR6400) and up to 400 ESAAs terminals (0.74 meter ThinKom, model 2KuAntenna) to communicate with the SES—10 satellite (Call Sign $2950) at the 66.9° W.L. orbital location. Operations are authorized using the 14.00— 14.50 GHz (Earth—to—space) and 11.70—12.20 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequencybands. Operations must be in accordance with the relevant technical limits specified in its current E120106 authorization are subjectto the following conditions: 1. Operations are on an unprotected and non—harmful interference basis. AC BidCo must cease operations immediately upon notificationofsuch interference and must immediatelyinform the Commission, in writing, of such an event. 2. Operation pursuant to this authorization must be in compliance with the terms of AC BidCo‘s coordination agreements with the National Science Foundation and the National Acronautics and Space Administration pertaining to operation of ESAAs in the Ku—Band. 3. Operation pursuant to this authorization outside the United States in the 14.00—14.50 GHz band must be in compliance with the provisions of Annex 1, Part C of Recommendation ITU—R M.1643, with respect to anyradio astronomystation performing observations in the 14.47—14.50 GHz band. 4. When operating in international airspace within line—of—sight of the territory of a foreign administration where Fixed Service networks have a primaryallocation in the 14.00—14.50 GHz band, an ESAA must not operate in a manner that would produce predicted ground—level power flux density (pfd) in such territory in excess ofthe following values unless the foreign administration has imposed other conditions for protecting its FS stations: —132 + 0.5 x THETA dB(W/(mA2 MHz)) for THETA <= 40: —112 dB(W/(mA2 MHz)) for 40 <THETA <=90g. Where; THETA is the angle of arrival ofthe radio—frequency wave in degrees above the horizontal, and the aforementioned limits relate to the pfd and angles ofarrival that would be obtained under free space propagation conditions. 5. Operation pursuant to this authorization must conformto the terms ofcoordination agreements between the operator of SES—10 and operators of other Ku—band geostationary satellites within six angular degrees of SES—10 (call sign 2950). In the event that another GSO Fixed—Satellite Service (FSS) space station commences operation in the 14.0—14.5 GHz band at a location within six degrees of any of these space stations, ESAAsoperating pursuantto this temporaryauthority shall cease transmitting unless and until such operation has been coordinated with the new space station‘s operator or AC BidCo demonstrates that such operation will not cause harmful interference to the newco—frequency space station. /%3

6. AC BidCo must operate in accordance with the off—axis EIRP spectral densities supplied in obtaining the satellite operator certification for SES—10 (call sign 2950), attached as an exhibit to the application. AC BidCo shall automatically cease emissions within 100 milliseconds if the ESAA transmitter exceeds the off—axis EIRP spectral—densities supplied to the target satellite operator and transmission shall not resume until AC BidCo conforms to the off—axis EIRP spectral densities supplied to the target satellite operator. 7. AC BidCo must take all necessary measures to ensure that the operation authorized 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. 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. 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.fec.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. The licensee shall ensure installation of terminals on aircraft by qualified installers who have an understanding of the antenna‘s radiation environment and the measures best suited to maximize protection of the general public and persons operating the aircraft and equipment. A terminal exhibiting radiation exposure levels exceeding 1.0 mW/cm2 in accessible areas, such as at the exterior surface of the radome, shall have a label attached to the surface of the terminal warning about the radiation hazard and shall include thereon a diagram showing the regions around the terminal where the radiation levels could exceed 1.0 mW/cm2. 8. AC BidCo must maintain a U.S. point of contact available 24 hours per day, seven days per week, with the authority and ability to terminate operations authorized herein. AC BidCo has specified the following contact information: +1 866—943—4662 and noc@AC BidCoair.com. 9. Stations authorized herein must not be used to provide air traffic control communications. 10. For each ESAA transmitter AC BidCo shall maintain records of the following data for each operating ESAA, a record of the aircraft location (i.e., latitude/longitude/altitude), transmit frequency, channel bandwidth and satellite used shall be time annotated and maintained for a period of not less than one year. Records shall be recorded at time intervals no greater than one (1) minute while the ESAA is transmitting. The ESAA operator shall make this data available, in the form of a comma delimited electronic spreadsheet, within 24 hours of a request from the Commission, NTIA, or a frequency coordinator for purposes of resolving harmful interference events. A description of the units (i.e., degrees, minutes, MHz) in which the records values are recorded will be supplied along with the records. 11. Antenna elevation for all operations must be at least 5 degrees above the geographic horizon while the aircraft is on the ground. 12. AC BidCo shall comply with any pertinent limits established by the International Telecommunication Union to protect other services allocated internationally. 273
