- efforts to provide high speed Internet service in rural America and on tribal lands. II. BACKGROUND Onsat plans to provide high speed Internet service in rural America and on tribal lands, a goal that has been enthusiastically endorsed by the Commission. To help it to implement its proposal, on September 10, 1999, Onsat filed a petition for waiver of section 25.212(d) to permit C-band 3.7-meter antennas to be "routinely licensed." Section 25.212(d) provides that C-band antennas must be at least 4.5 meters in diameter to qualify for routine licensing. In this Order, we address Onsat's waiver petition for routine licensing of 3.7-meter C-band antennas. Onsat's petition for waiver was placed on public notice, and was unopposed. III.

Further, for the 768KG1F emissions, in response to question E49, L3 lists 48.6 dBW/4 kHz as the Maximum EIRP density per Carrier, which corresponds to a power density at the input of the antenna flange of -1 dBW/4 kHz. This value exceeds the maximum input power spectral density limit for routinely authorized earth stations in Section 25.212(c) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 25.212(c).

Therefore, Telenor may not designate ALSAT as a point of communication for the proposed emissions and must identify the specific satellites with which the earth station will communicate.

Pursuant to Section 25.212(c) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 25.212(c), the maximum input power density into the antenna flange exceeds our routinely authorized power level of -14 dBW/4 kHz.

This value exceeds the maximum input power spectral density limit of -14 dBW/4 kHz for routinely authorized earth stations in Section 25.212(c) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 25.212(c). Therefore, Sirius may not designate ALSAT as a point of communication for the proposed emissions and must identify the specific satellites with which the earth station will communicate.

- Schedule B regarding the Maximum EIRP per Carrier (Question E48), the bandwidth of the emission (Question E47), and the Gain of the Transmitting Antenna (Question E41/42), we calculate the average power spectral density at the input of the antenna flange to be -13.01 dBW/4 kHz. This exceeds the -14 dBW/4 kHz limit for a routinely authorized earth station in Section 25.212(c) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 25.212(c).

- and 53.8 dBW/4 kHz as the Maximum EIRP densities per Carrier in response to question E49 for the 48M6G7W and 69K0G7W emissions. These levels correspond to a power density at the input of the antenna flange of -10.03 and 1.47 dBW/4 kHz, respectively. These values exceed the maximum input power spectral density limit for routinely authorized earth stations in Section 25.212(c) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 25.212(c). In such cases, applicants may not use ALSAT-designated satellites as the point of communication. Thus, Telenor must identify specific satellites as its point of communication. Also, in accordance with Section 25.220(f)(2) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 25.220(f)(2), Telenor must submit a certification described in Section 25.220(e)(1) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.

We also grant Intelsat's accompanying request for a waiver of section 25.212(d) of the Commission's rules to increase the emission power to this level. To ensure that LEOP operations do not cause harmful interference to other authorized communication services, we require Intelsat to coordinate its operations with potentially affected satellite operators.

This value exceeds the input power spectral density limit of -14 dBW/4 kHz for routinely authorized earth stations in Section 25.212(c) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 25.212(c). Since the proposed level exceeds this limit, Mobile Satellite must provide, as exhibits to the earth station application, certifications from each target satellite operator that they have obtained agreements from all potentially affected neighboring satellite operators covering the non-conforming operations.

Based on these values, we calculate a maximum power density at the input of the antenna as -0.1 dBW/4 kHz. This value exceeds the maximum input power spectral density limit of -2.7 dBW/4 kHz for routinely authorized earth stations in Section 25.212(d)(2) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 25.212(d)(2). In such cases, applicants may not use ALSAT-designated satellites as the point of communication. Thus, Pacific Satellite must identify specific satellites as its point of communication for this emission. Also, in accordance with Section 25.220(f)(2) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 25.220(f)(2), Pacific Satellite must submit a certification described in Section 25.220(e)(1) of

- meters in diameter. See Part 25 Earth Station Streamlining Fifth Report and Order, 20 FCC Rcd at 5676 20. The size of the earth station antenna is important since, in general, smaller antennas produce wider transmission beams, which, in turn, can create more potential interference to adjacent satellite operations. See 47 C.F.R. 25.134 (VSAT networks), 25.211 (video transmissions), 25.212 (narrowband transmissions). See also Part 25 Earth Station Streamlining Fifth Report and Order, 20 FCC Rcd at 5676 20. Reducing the diameter of an earth station antenna increases the side lobes. Reducing the transmit power of the earth station reduces the off-axis EIRP, however, and so can compensate for the reduction in antenna diameter. See Part 25 Earth Station

Based on this information, we calculate the power density per Carrier for the emission at the input of the antenna flange as +0.30 dBW/4kHz (subtracting the antenna gain from the EIRP density). This value exceeds the -2.7 dBW/4kHz power density limit for digital carriers specified in Section 25.212(d)(2) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 25.212(d)(2), and Denali 20020 has not requested a waiver of this rule. 1 The Conventional C-band encompasses frequency ranges 3700-4200 MHz and 5925-6425 MHz. 2 SES-MOD-20040702-00931, SES-RWL-20030110-00039, and SES-LIC-19920819-00851. 3 If Denali 20020 refiles an application identical to the one dismissed, with the exception of supplying the corrected information, it need not pay

Alascom proposes to use antenna input power density levels that exceed the maximum input power density level of -2.7 dBW/4kHz for the proposed 5925-6425 MHz frequency band required as set forth in Section 25.212(d)(2) of the Commission's rules. Earth station applications that exceed power density levels of Section 25.212(d)(2) must comply with the procedures set forth in Section 25.220. Those procedures require a demonstration showing that the earth station complies with the off-axis EIRP density envelopes specified in Sections 25.218(d) and 25.115(h)(1-4) or 25.220 of the Commission's rules.

- as follows: In response to Question E21 in Schedule B of FCC Form 312, Comtech lists ``ALSAT'' as the proposed points of communication. Earth station applicants may designate ALSAT as a point of communication only in cases where the earth station is eligible for routine processing. An earth station proposing to operate in the conventional Ku-band must comply with Section 25.212(c) or, in the alternative, with Section 25.218 to be processed routinely. Applicants proposing an earth station that does not qualify for routine processing must identify specific satellites as proposed points of communication. Comtech's proposed 1.0 meter antenna does not qualify for routine processing under Section 25.212(c). Thus, Comtech must demonstrate that the antenna, which will carry digital signals in the

- in the C-band, Section 25.134 of our rules would also need to be modified to apply specific licensing provisions to ESV network operations. Similar to the Ku-band VSATs, we routinely process applications for CSAT networks that meet the antenna performance standards in Section 25.209 of our rules and that do not exceed the power levels specified in Sections 25.211(d) and 25.212(d) necessary to protect two-degree spaced satellites. Applicants for non-routine operations must submit the ASIA analyses with their application and demonstrate that unacceptable interference to adjacent satellite operators will not occur. We believe that the current antenna standards and power levels for CSATs adequately protect adjacent satellite operators. The licensing procedures on which we seek comment on for C-band ESVs should

However, the ITU limits are not consistent with the Commission's two-degree spacing rules, which are designed to protect FSS satellites spaced about two degrees apart in orbit along the geostationary arc. The limitations we set forth today are a direct result of combining Section 25.209, which sets forth antenna envelope limitations, and Section 25.212(d), which sets forth the constraints on power density delivered to the antenna. The result of this combination is a constraint on off-axis e.i.r.p.-density needed to protect other FSS systems in the geostationary satellite orbit from co-polarized signals.
