Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC (MSV) requests an extension of its temporary authority to transmit on certain frequencies in the L-band (1551.213 - 1555.187 MHz) from a fixed antenna adjacent to its headquarters in Reston, Virginia to measure the degree of RF coupling into existing L band receive antennas at MSV?s satellite gateway facility in Reston, Virginia.

Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Transmitting on L-band frequencies from a fixed antenna to measure the degree of RF coupling into existing L-band receive antennas at MSV?s satellite gateway facility in Reston, VA. MSV requests temporary authority to transmit on certain frequencies in the L-band (1551.213 - 1555.187 MHz) from a fixed antenna installed on the roof of a building adjacent to MSVs headquarters in Reston, Virginia that will be used to support an upcoming test and demonstration of MSV?s next-generation Ancillary Terrestrial Component. See Call Sign WC9XRS. With the experimental STA requested here, MSV seeks authority to transmit on the specified L-band frequencies from a fixed antenna to determine the amount of RF isolation between this antenna and MSV?s existing L band antennas at its Reston, Virginia facility used for ongoing satellite operations. The test will entail transmitting a low-power (less than or equal to 0 dBW EIRP) carrier from the antenna and measuring the received power level at several outdoor locations on MSV?s Reston gateway premises. This testing may be performed over extended time periods of up to several days in order to characterize long-term fading and possible diurnal effects. MSV?s predecessor, Motient Services Inc., received an experimental STA to conduct similar tests in October 2000. See File No. 0462-EX-ST-2000 (granted October 4, 2000).
