Request for Special Temporary Authority O3b Limited (“O3b”), pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission’s rules, 1 hereby requests special temporary authority (“STA”) to operate its earth station to be located in Bristow, Virginia (the “Virginia Earth Station”). O3b seeks an STA term covering the 60-day period between June 28, 2013, and August 27, 2013. O3b proposes to operate the Virginia Earth Station during this term in accordance with the parameters specified in the attached Schedule B, which will be incorporated into a license application O3b will be filing in the near future. 2 O3b’s STA request is supported by good cause. The first four of the space stations comprising O3b’s non-geostationary orbit (“NGSO”) Fixed-Satellite Service (“FSS”) Ka-band system are scheduled to be launched later this month. 3 Soon after launch, the Virginia Earth Station will begin the proposed operations in a closely monitored environment with local control capability. Combining real-time knowledge of the local weather with locally-controlled terminal operations will help O3b’s Network Operations Center and engineering staff identify and resolve space station and system anomalies, particularly important in the early days after O3b’s first launch, but also important as an ongoing capability. Furthermore, O3b will be able to emulate remote ground station conditions, thereby providing a means for isolating issues. 4 Giving O3b these capabilities is unquestionably in the public interest. O3b’s proposed operations pose no risk of harmful interference. As demonstrated below, the Virginia Earth Station will provide the requisite protection to terrestrial stations and geostationary orbit (“GSO”) FSS stations operating in bands shared with O3b. The showing below, moreover, is similar to the showing O3b made in its application, which has been granted, for a license to operate a gateway earth station in Haleiwa, Hawaii. 5 In any event, operations under the STA for the Virginia Earth Station will be on a secondary, non-harmful interference basis. 1 47 C.F.R. § 25.120. 2 The Commission’s rules state that STAs granted for up to 60 days need not be placed on public notice if, as is true here, the party requesting the STA also plans to file an application for regular authority for the service. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(3). 3 The launch is scheduled for June 24, 2013. 4 O3b also will use the Virginia Earth Station as a test platform for on-satellite certification of various modems and service offerings. 5 See FCC File No. SES-LIC-20100723-00952 (granted Sep. 25, 2012).

Protecting Terrestrial Stations. As stated in the attached coordination report, Comsearch notified all existing and proposed terrestrial licensees that are within the coordination contours of the Virginia Earth Station and that potentially could be affected by O3b’s transmissions in the 27.6–29.1 GHz portion of the Ka-Band. No objections were received from any of these parties. Terrestrial stations, therefore, will be adequately protected. Protecting GSO FSS Stations in the 28.35–28.4 GHz Band. In the 28.35–28.4 GHz band, there is a primary allocation for GSO FSS systems and a secondary allocation for NGSO FSS systems. O3b’s Virginia Earth Station transmissions in this band will be consistent with their secondary status vis-à-vis GSO FSS transmissions. The Commission has allowed similar secondary use of frequencies in the Ka- band uplink allocated to GSO FSS on a primary basis where applicants are prepared to accept interference from and can demonstrate that their proposed operations are not likely to cause harmful interference to primary operations. 6 As a secondary user of the 28.35–28.4 GHz band in the United States, O3b makes no claim of protection from interference from U.S.-licensed GSO FSS networks in this band segment. In the 28.35– 28.4 GHz band, the ITU has developed uplink equivalent power flux density limits (“EPFDup”) limits to protect co-frequency GSO FSS operations from unacceptable interference from NGSO FSS systems operating in the same frequencies. 7 Specifically, in accordance with Article 22 of the ITU Radio Regulations, if the applicable EPFDup limits are met, the NGSO FSS satellite system is considered to have met its obligations to protect GSO FSS networks from unacceptable interference. In these bands, transmissions from the Virginia Earth Station to the O3b constellation will meet the applicable ITU EPFDup limits. As demonstrated in the Technical Attachment that accompanied O3b’s Hawaii application, which is hereby incorporated by reference, O3b will satisfy the EPFDup limits by controlling the maximum power spectral density into transmitting earth stations as a function of their latitude and their antenna size and off-axis gain towards the GSO. O3b showed that its gateway located at Hawaii operating at its authorized power levels will meet the applicable ITU EPFDup limits in all frequency ranges where these limits apply and which overlap those used by the O3b system (i.e., 27.6–28.4 GHz) due to the inherent angular separation between the O3b and geostationary orbits when viewed from the Earth at latitudes away from the equator. 8 The Virginia Earth Station will be operated at the same off-axis power spectral density levels, but is located further north in latitude 6 Northrop Grumman Space & Missions Systems Corporation, 24 FCC Rcd 2330, at ¶¶ 72-73 (Int'l Bur. 2009); contactMEO Communications, LLC, 21 FCC Rcd 4035, at ¶¶ 23-24, (Int'l Bur., 2006). 7 See ITU Radio Regulations, Article 22. See also O3b’s Hawaii application, FCC File No. SES-LIC- 20100723-00952, Technical Attachment at A.10.1 for a discussion of O3b's compliance with the operational limits in Article 22 of the ITU Radio Regulations. 8 See O3b’s Hawaii application, FCC File No. SES-LIC-20100723-00952, Technical Attachment at A.10.1.

than the Hawaii gateway, which means an even greater angular separation between the O3b and geostationary orbits as viewed from the Earth. As a result, compliance with the applicable ITU EPFDup limits from the Virginia Earth Station is assured and co- coverage GSO FSS networks will not experience unacceptable interference in the 28.35– 28.4 GHz band. In any event, O3b confirms that its operations will be on a secondary basis relative to U.S.-licensed GSO FSS networks in the same band. Conclusion Accordingly, and for good cause shown, O3b respectfully requests that its STA be granted.
