("ISAT US") is granted STA for 30 days beginning on October 18, 2017 to conduct testing of three units of antenna manufactured by Inmarsat, model KA30, at facilities in: Chantilly, Virginia (38° 53‘ 32.26" N/ 077° 26‘ 38.62" W), Carlsbad, California (33° 08° 59.9" N/ 117° 16‘ 11.9" W), and Greenville, Texas (33° 02‘ 23.9" N/096° 02‘ 24" N). The antennas will operate with space stations Inmarsat 5F2("I5F2") at orbital location 55° W and Inmarsat 5F3 ("I5F3") at orbital location 179.6 ° E 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). 2. 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. 5. 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.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. 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—20171010— 01126. 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) I. DESCRIPTION OF STA REQUEST TO TEST MARITIME TERMINAL ISAT US, Inc. ("ISAT US") hereby requests special temporary authority ("STA") to operate for testing purposes three units of the KA30 model aeronautical terminal at each of three fixed locations to communicate with the Inmarsat 5F2 (I5F2) and ‘5F3 (I5F3) satellites in the 19.7—20.2 GHz (space—to—Earth) and 29.5—30.0 GHz (Earth—to—space) bands for a thirty—day period beginning 18 October 2017. The earth stations will be located at the Inmarsat facility in Chantilly, VA as well as two other sites in Greenville, TX and Carlsbad, CA. The Qperations are to test and demonstrate the use of this new aeronautical terminal. ISAT US is already licensed by the Commission to operate aeronautical 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 E140114 (IBFS File No. SES—MOD—20171010—01126) to add the KA30 terminal and wishes to incorporate the technical specifications listed in that application by reference herein. The KA30 terminal will operate with the Inmarsat Global Xpress I5F2 and I5F3 satellites located at 55° W.L. and 179.6 ° E.L. orbital location, respectively, and the Lino Lakes Satellite Access Station, which have 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 * See ISAT US GX aeronautical user terminal earth station Call Sign E140114. * See Call Signs E120072 and E150028.

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 terminals will be operated from fixed locations at the following sites for 30 days commencing on 18 October 2017. Operations, of a maximum of three terminals at each site, will be conducted within a 1 mile radius of the following locations: & Chantilly, VA Latitude = 38° 53‘ 32.2656" Longitude = —77° 26‘ 38.6232" * Carlsbad, CA Latitude = 33° 8‘ 59.9994" Longitude = 117° 16‘ 11.9994" * Greenville, TX Latitude= 33° 2‘ 23.9994" Longitude = 96° 2‘ 24" The ISAT US Point of Contact 24/7 during the STA is Inmarsat Network Control in London, England at 011 44 207 728 1616. II. 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 using the I5F2 and I5F3 space stations, within technical parameters consistent with the parameters filed in IBFS File No. SES—MOD—20171010—01126, without creating any risk of harmful interference. ISAT US respectfully requests that the Commission grant STA beginning 18 October 2017 for a period of 30 days.
