The testing will continued to be performed in the following frequencies: 29.625 GHz (L) and 29.791 GHz (R) (uplink) and 19.825 GHz (R) and 19.991 GHz (L) (downlink). The maximum uplink EIRP per carrier will be 69.2 dBW. Intelsat has coordinated the proposed transmissions with the operators of all co- frequency, co-coverage satellites within plus/minus six degrees of 89.0° W.L. Specifically, Intelsat has coordinated the proposed transmissions with Telesat Canada, the operator of the Nimiq 1 satellite at 91.0° W.L. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. In further support of this request, Intelsat incorporates herein by reference the relevant technical parameters set forth in FCC Form 312, Schedule B, which was included as Exhibit A in the original STA request. In addition, Intelsat incorporates by reference the radiation hazard report and antenna gain patterns previously submitted for this antenna.3 Grant of this STA extension request will enable Intelsat to continue to test the 9.2m antenna in anticipation of utilizing the antenna for IOT of a Ka-band 1 Intelsat has filed its STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $180.00 filing fee and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau’s Filing System (“IBFS”). 2 See Satellite Communications Services Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES-01502, File No. SES-STA-20121102-000986 (Nov. 14, 2012) (Public Notice). 3 See Satellite Communications Services Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SES-01231, File No. SES-STA-20091204-01561 (Mar. 31, 2010).
