    1. Summary of Results
On behalf of O3b Networks, Comsearch performed a coordination notice for all existing and
proposed terrestrial licenses within the coordination contours of their proposed experimental Ka-
Band earth station in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, which will transmit at 28 GHz1. Prior-
notification letters were sent to the licensees and a copy of the notification data is provided in
section four of this report. The earth station coordination was finalized on October 17, 2016.

No objections were received from any of the incumbent 28 GHz licensees. Our notification to
the LMDS incumbents was performed under the assumption that the earth station would be
operating on a non-interference basis in relation to primary LMDS Block A operations. A
contact at O3b Networks has been provided in case any concerns may arise in the future.


    2. 28 GHz Common Carrier and LTTS Coordination
In accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations, the Ka-Band earth station in Fort Bragg, North
Carolina was prior-coordinated by Comsearch. A notification letter and datasheets for this earth
station were sent to the following 28 GHz common carrier fixed microwave licensee on
September 30, 2016. This licensee is authorized to operate temporary fixed operations from
27.5 to 29.5 GHz on a statewide or nationwide basis.
