       Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority to Operate a 1 meter Ku-band Antenna


Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority (“STA”)1 for
60 days, beginning March 20, 2018, to allow Intelsat to utilize a transportable 1 meter Ku-band
antenna in the contiguous-lower 48 states to communicate with Intelsat satellites in order to provide
customer demonstrations.2 Intelsat intends to file an application seeking permanent authority for this
antenna.

The proposed communication services will be performed in the following frequency bands: 14.0-14.5
GHz (Earth-to-space), and 11.7-12.2 GHz (space-to-Earth). The proposed operations will be
consistent with Intelsat’s coordination agreements. The 24x7 contact information for the proposed
operations is as follows:

                Ph.:   (703) 559-7701 – East Coast Operations Center (primary)
                       (310) 525-5591 – West Coast Operations Center (back-up)

                Request to speak with Harry Burnham or Kevin Bell.

In support of this request, Intelsat is attaching a radiation hazard report as Exhibit A.

Grant of this STA request services the public interest by enabling Intelsat to provide customer
demonstrations for a new service.

         Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $210.00 filing fee, and this supporting
letter electronically via the International Bureau’s Filing System (“IBFS”).

       Intelsat is simultaneously filing an identical request for the use of a second, identical antenna.
