                   Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority

       On August 12, 2013, the International Bureau granted the request filed by O3b
Limited (“O3b”) for special temporary authority (“STA”) to conduct tests at a facility in
Melbourne, Florida, of up to three 2.2m earth stations on vessels (“ESVs”). 1 The STA
has a term through September 11, 2013. O3b, pursuant to Section 25.120 of the
Commission’s rules, 2 hereby requests an extension of its STA covering the 30-day
period between September 12, 2013, and October 12, 2013. 3

       O3b’s extension request is supported by good cause. An extension will enable
O3b to continue its testing so that it may establish performance standards and
operational requirements for its ESVs. By granting O3b’s initial STA request, the
Bureau already has found that facilitating these activities is in the public interest.

       Accordingly, and for good cause shown, O3b respectfully requests that its STA
extension request be granted.




1 FCC File No. SES-STA-20130620-00515.
2 47 C.F.R. § 25.120.
3 O3b’s STA extension request is independent of its separately-filed application for a license to operate

ESVs (File No. SES-LIC-20130528-00455), and O3b acknowledges that action on its STA extension request
is without prejudice to Commission action on its ESV license application.
