Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of ) ) DG Consents Sub, Inc. ) File No. SAT-STA-20 18 ) Application for Special Temporary ) Authority (Call Sign E950499) ) ) APPLICATION OF DG CONSENTS SUB, INC. FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY On September 6, 2018, the Conmiission granted DG Consents Sub, Inc. (“DigitaiGlobe”) special temporary authority (“STA”) for 60 days, until November 5, 2018, to add a new antenna to fixed earth station license E950499 in Fairbanks, Alaska.1 By this application, DigitaiGlobe seeks to extend the STA for 60 days.2 DigitalGiobe will file a modification application for permanent authority for the new antenna with complete technical specifications by November 5, 2018. In the interim, grant of the STA extension will serve the public interest by allowing DigitalGiobe to continue to upgrade its communications infrastructure to better serve its earth exploration satellite service customers. Specifically, DigitaiGlobe requests STA to operate a ViaSat 5.4m V8X-Y antenna in a radome. As shown in Exhibit 1, the antenna will be co-located with its currently-authorized Datron 7.3m 8300 antenna. The ViaSat antenna will utilize the same power levels, S-band transmit frequencies (i.e., 2042 MHz, 2052 MHz, 2085.6875 MHz 2092.6 MHz, and 2094.896 See IBFS File No. SES-STA-20180723-01964 (granted Sept. 6, 2018). 2 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(3). Per Rule 1.62, DigitaiGlobe will continue to operate the earth station under the terms and conditions of its existing STA pending action on this timely filed renewal request. See 47 C.F.R. § 1.62. Because DigitaiGlobe plans to file an application for regular authority, the FCC may grant this STA without public notice. 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(3).

MHz) for TT&C, and X-band receive frequencies (i.e., 8025-8400 MHz) as the Datron antenna, and it will communicate with the same space stations as currently authorized under E950499. The ViaSat antenna will also be controlled via remote control from 1601 Dry Creek Drive, Suite 26, Longmont, Colorado, 80503. Per Rule 17.7, DigitaiGlobe certifies that the new ViaSat antenna does not require FAA antenna structure notification.4 DigitaiGlobe understands that all operations pursuant to a grant of STA will be on a non interference basis. As the new antenna will utilize the same frequencies as its currently operating antenna, DigitaiGlobe does not anticipate that operation of the new antenna will cause any harmful interference or adversely affect any other authorized users. In the unlikely event harmful interference does occur, DigitalGlobe will take all steps necessary to eliminate such interference. The point of contact for technical questions or interference concerns is: Tony Mumm, Manager of Remote Ground Stations, 303-684-4792. DigitaiGlobe further understands that any grant of STA will be without prejudice to action on the soon-to-be filed modification application to add this antenna. Grant of this STA request will allow DigitalGiobe to continue to upgrade its ground based communications network. Operation of the new antenna at the Fairbanks, Alaska site will enhance the provision of service to earth exploration satellite service customers and thereby promotes the public interest. See 47 C.F.R. § 17.7. 2

For the reasons set forth above, DigitalGiobe respectfully requests that the Commission grant this STA. Respectfully submitted, Henry Gola Wiley Rein LLP 1776 K St NW Washington, DC 20006 Counsellor DG Consents Sub, Inc. October 30, 2018 3
