           Re:      Request for Special Temporary Authority
                    Napa, California C/Ku—band Earth Station Testing

           Dear Ms. Dortch:

           Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat") herein requests a grant of Special Temporary
           Authority‘ for 180 days to test a 2.4 meter C—band antenna." Specifically,
           Intelsat intends to communicate with its Intelsat 701 satellite at 180.0° E.L. in
           the following frequencies: 6342—6378 MHz (uplink, circular polarization) and
           4117—4153 MHz (downlink, circular polarization)." During the testing, the
           antenna will be located at Intelsat‘s Napa, California teleport.

           Intelsat seeks to test the feasibility of the antenna for certain services. Because
           the proposed testing will assist Intelsat in meeting customer demand for
           service, grant of this STA request is in the public interest.

           In support of this request, Intelsat is attaching Exhibits A—E, which contain
           technical information that demonstrates that the operation of the earth station
           will be compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause
           harmful interference into any lawfully operating facility. In the extremely
           unlikely event that harmful interference should occur, Intelsat will take all
           reasonable steps to eliminate the interference.




             ‘ Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $180.00 filing fee
             and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau‘s Filing
             System ("IBFS").
             * The C—band antenna that will be tested is mounted on the front of a 2.4 meter
             C—/Ku—band antenna, with a switchable feed. Intelsat has separate authority to
           . utilize the Ku—band antenna portion of this combined device. See Satellite
           Communications Services Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES—01360,
           File No. SES—STA—20110510—00570 (June 29, 2011) (Public Notice).
           * Intelsat is simultaneously filing a 30—day STA request in order to begin
           testing on August 15, 2011.
