Re:     Request for Blanket Special Temporary Authority to Operate Four Antenna Types in Ku-band


Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests blanket Special Temporary Authority (“STA”)’ for
60 days, commencing October 1, 2019, to operate 200 of each of the follow antennas: 1.2 m Skyware
Global antenna; 1.2 m GD Satcom antenna; 1.8 m Global Skyware antenna; and 1.8 m GD Satcom
antenna. Subject to federal Communications Commission (“Commission”) authority, the blanket
authorized antennas will communicate with Galaxy 18 (Call Sign S2733).2

The proposed operations will be conducted in the following frequency bands: 11700-12200 MHz and
14000-14500 MHz.

Intelsat has filed a blanket license application for these antennas,3 and incorporates by reference the
technical information included therein. Further, all operations will be consistent with Intelsat’s
coordination agreements for Galaxy 18. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference
should occur due to transmissions to or from its remote terminal, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps
to eliminate the interference.




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