Applicant:    RiteNet Corp.
Call Sign:    E190028
File No.:     SES—STA—20190203—0005 1
Special Temporary Authority ("STA")

RiteNet Corp. ("RiteNet") is granted Special Temporary Authority for 60 days to operate up to
50 SkyTech model BB45 earth station aboard aircraft (ESAA) terminals to communicate with
the Mexico licensed EUTELSAT 113WA (Call Sign $2695) satellite at the 113° W orbital
location using 14.0—14.50 GHz (Earth—to—space) and 11.7—12.2 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency
bands within the satellite‘s footprints. Operations are subject to the following additional
conditions:

1. Operations shall not exceed the coordinated parameters. Operations are on an unprotected
and non—harmful interference basis. RiteNet must cease operations immediately upon notification
of such interference and must immediately inform the Commission, in writing, of such an event.

2.   Operation pursuant to this authorization must be in compliance with the terms of RiteNet ‘s
coordination agreements with the National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration pertaining to operation of ESAAs in the Ku—Band.

3.   Operation pursuant to this authorization outside the United States in the 14.0—14.5 GHz band
must be in compliance with the provisions of Annex 1, Part C of Recommendation ITU—R
M.1643, with respect to any radio astronomy station performing observations in the 14.47—14.5
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 primary allocation in the 14.0—14.5 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 of the 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; —1 12 dB(W/(mA2 MHz)) for 40 <THETA <= 908.
Where: THETA is the angle of arrival of the radio—frequency wave in degrees above the
horizontal, and the aforementioned limits relate to the pfd and angles of arrival that would be
obtained under free space propagation conditions.

5.. Operation pursuant to this authorization must conform to the terms of coordination
agreements between the operator of EUTELSAT 113WA and operators of other Ku—band
geostationary satellites within six angular degrees of EUTELSAT 113WA. 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, ESAAs operating
pursuant to this temporary authority shall cease transmitting unless and until such operation has
been coordinated with the new space station‘s operator or RiteNet demonstrates that such
operation will not cause harmful interference to the new co—frequency space station.

6. RiteNet must operate in accordance with the off—axis EIRP spectral densities supplied in
obtaining the satellite operator certification for EUTELSAT 113WA, attached as an exhibit to


the application. RiteNet 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 RiteNet conforms to the off—axis EIRP spectral
densities supplied to the target satellite operator.

7. RiteNet 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.fcc.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. —RiteNet 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. RiteNet has
specified the following contact information: RiteNet Network Operations Center, 13665 Dulles
Technology Drive, Suite 300, Herndon, VA 2017 1, Tel: 1—866—830—7610 and 1—703—391—9970,
e—mail: noc@artelllc.com

9.   Stations authorized herein must not be used to provide air traffic control communications.

10. For each ESAA transmitter RiteNet 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.

1 l.. Antenna elevation for all operations must be at least three degrees above the geographic
horizon while the aircraft is on the ground.

12. RiteNet §hall comply with any pertinent limits established by the International
Telecommunication Union to protect other services allocated internationally.

temporary authority is solely at RiteNet‘s risk.

16.    This action is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 ofthe Commission‘s rules on delegated
authority, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, and is effective immediately. Petitions for reconsideration under
Section 1.106 or applications for review under Sections 1.115 of the Commission‘s rules, 47
C.F.R. § 1.106, 1.115, may be filed within thirty days of the date of the public notice indicating
that this action was taken.
