    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 Ka-Band earth
station in Miramar, Florida, 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 March 17, 2017.

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 Miramar, Florida
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 February 13,
2017. This licensee is authorized to operate temporary fixed operations from 27.5 to 29.5 GHz
on a statewide or nationwide basis.
