Astrium requested special temporary authority to operate a 4.8-meter Ku-band hub antenna at its Southbury, Connecticut, teleport. Astrium plans to provide service to remote Ku-band very small aperture terminal antennas and operate remote antennas “to provide service pursuant to its call sign WB36 license Ku-band ESV [earth stations on vessels] authorizations,” it said in an application to the FCC International Bureau (http://bit.ly/R5ywrS).
