Re:     Request for Special Temporary Authority to Operate a New Remote VSAT Terminal with
        Intelsat’s Mountainside, Maryland VSAT Hub, Call Sign El 10013


Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests Special Temporary Authority (‘STA”)’for 30 days,
commencing April 12, 2019, to temporarily operate a new Ku-band remote VSAT terminal with
Intelsat’s Mountainside, Maryland VSAT hub, Call Sign E110013,2 in order to communicate with
Galaxy 3C3 at 95.0° W.L. for a customer demonstration. The VSAT terminal is located Midland,
Virginia and the proposed demonstration is expected to take up to 60 days.

The demonstration will be performed in the following frequency bands: 14096.5-14123.5 MHz in the
uplink; and 11796.5-11823.5 MHz in the downlink. The proposed operations at 95.0° W.L. will be
consistent with Intelsat’s coordination agreements for the nominal 95.0° Wi. location. The 24x7
contact information for the Galaxy 3C operations are as follows:




        Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159, and a $210.00 filing fee electronically
via the International Bureau’s Filing System.

                 Request to speak with Harry Bumham or Kevin Bell.

In further support of this request, Intelsat incorporates by reference Exhibit A, a Radiation Hazard
