                           Request For Special Temporary Authority

Hawaii Pacific Teleport, L.P. (“HPT”), pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission’s rules, 47
C.F.R. § 25.120, requests 60 day special temporary authority (“STA”) beginning on or about
September 21, 2018, to support Eutelsat S.A. (“Eutelsat”) in the communication with
EUTELSAT 133WA for testing and validating services necessary to commence operations.
HPT intends to file a modification application to request permanent authority to operate utilizing
EUTELSAT 133WA.

Eutelsat was previously granted conditional access to the U.S. market via its Ku-band space
station, EUTELSAT 133WA, at the 132.85˚ W.L. orbital location. See Call Sign S3031; IBFS
File No. SAT-PPL-20180302-00018, granted August 16, 2018. This grant included 11.45 –
11.7 GHz (space-to-Earth). Eutelsat has filed a modification of the original grant on September
8, 2018, to repoint existing beams and add new beams to cover Hawaii and to explicitly include
the 11.2-11.45 GHz band in the market access grant. See IBFS File No. SAT-MPL-20180908-
00068. HPT herein incorporates by reference to the extent necessary all the information
provided in the Eutelsat filings relating to S3031.

The operations proposed with HPT’s 8.1 meter Ku‐band antenna are in the public interest, as the
requested authority will facilitate the safe operation of EUTELSAT 133WA. HPT would be
testing and validating services to commence operations. There is a shortage of capacity in the
area and customers are ready to commence operations on E133WA. Therefore, the public
interest would be served by approving this request.
