    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 Twentynine Palms, California, 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 August 9, 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 under secondary status 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 Twentynine
Palms, California 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 licensees
on July 21, 2017. These licensees are authorized to operate temporary fixed operations from
27.5 to 29.5 GHz on a statewide or nationwide basis.
