September 11, 2018 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority to Operate a 9-meter C-band Antenna at Intelsat’s Hagerstown, Maryland Teleport EXPEDITED TREATMENT REQUESTED Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests an expedited grant of Special Temporary Authority (“STA”)1 for 30 days, beginning September 15, 2018, to allow Intelsat to utilize a 9-meter C-band antenna located at its Hagerstown, Maryland teleport for antenna testing and to provide communications services to/from the SES-3 satellite (call sign S2892) at 103.0º W.L. Intelsat expects to begin providing service to/from SES-3 on or about October 1, 2018 for the duration of approximately one year. Intelsat is simultaneously filing a request for 180 days of STA to communicate with SES-3. The proposed communication services will be performed in the 5925-6425 MHz (uplink) and 3700- 4200 MHz (downlink) bands. In further support of this request, Intelsat herewith attaches Exhibits A and B, which contain technical information that demonstrates that the operation of the earth station will be compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful interference into any lawfully operating terrestrial facility, as well as a radiation hazard analysis report. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to transmissions to or from its earth station, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. Intelsat is requesting expediated processing to accommodate testing of the antenna prior its needed in- service date. Grant of this expedited STA request services the public interest by enabling Intelsat to provide continuity of service to customers at the nominal 103.0º W.L. location. 1 Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $200.00 filing fee, and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau’s Filing System (“IBFS”).

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch September 11, 2018 Page 2 Please direct any questions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (703) 559-6949. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Cynthia J. Grady Cynthia J. Grady Regulatory Counsel Intelsat US LLC cc: Paul Blais
