Kepler Communications Inc. 196 Spadina Avenue, Suite 400 Toronto, ON Canada M5T 2C2 EXHIBIT A DESCR IPTION Kepler Communications (“Kepler”) hereby requests special temporary authority beginning on June 21 and continuing for 60 days thereafter to operate several Ku-band earth stations for testing and proof-of-concept demonstrations in Houston, Texas. Kepler intends to file a request for regular earth station authority in the near future that would generally encompass this use going forward. The requested operations are necessary to continue engineering efforts in relation to the delivery of Fixed Satellite Services to customers in the scientific, oil and maritime sectors. This authorization will enable the development of core user terminal functionality and compatibility ahead of commercial deployment, allowing Kepler to deliver the service described in its market access grant in a timely fashion.1 Delay or rejection of this request would jeopardize this ability and strongly prejudice the public interest. Terminals will operate within the 11.7 – 12.2 GHz and 14.0 – 14.5 GHz bands for downlink and uplink respectively. All transmissions in these bands will conform to the applicable power flux density and equivalent power flux density levels specified by Article 21, Article 22, and Resolution 76 of the ITU Radio Regulations. 1 See Kepler Communications Inc., Petition for Declaratory Ruling to Grant Access to the U.S. Market for Kepler’s NGSO FSS System, Order and Declaratory Ruling, FCC 18-162 (Nov. 19, 2018).
