COORDINATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ADMINISTRATIONS OF THE
NETHERLANDS AND OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA TO ESTABLISH TECHNICAL
COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE C-BAND FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENTS OF NSS-11
AT 120.8 DEG. W, NSS-6 AT 125 DEG. W AND OF PACSTAR-L4 AT 121 DEG. W
1. GENERAL
This document describes the conditions agreed between the Administrations of The
Netherlands and of Papua New Guinea in order to establish technical
compatibility between the overlapping frequency assignments in the C-band
registered with the ITU at 120.8 DEG. W under the designation of NSS-11, at 000
XXX. W under the designation of NSS-6 and those registered with the ITU at 121
DEG. W under the designation of PACSTAR-L4. Specifically, it addresses the
following frequency assignments:
NSS-11: Frequency assignments of CR/C/269 associated with the beams
having the following designations: C1R, GLB.
NSS-6: Frequency assignments of CR/C/265 associated with the beams
having the following designations: C1R, GLB.
PACSTAR-L4: Frequency assignments of CR/C/354 associated with the
beams having the following designations: 6OH, 6OV, 6HH, 6HV, 6NH, 6NV,
4HH, 4HV, 4NH, 4NV and 40M.
2. TECHNICAL COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE C-BAND FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENTS OF NSS-11
AND THOSE OF PACSTAR-L4
In order to ensure technical compatibility between the above frequency
assignments, the Administration of The Netherlands agrees not to implement any
C-band frequency assignment registered under the NSS-11 ITU filings which are
co-frequency with those of PACSTAR-L4 identified above.
Based on the above conditions, both parties agree that technical compatibility
is achieved and that coordination is complete between the aforementioned
frequency assignments.
3. TECHNICAL COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE C-BAND FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENTS OF NSS-6 AND
THOSE OF PACSTAR-L4
In order to ensure technical compatibility between the above frequency
assignments, both parties agree to the following conditions:
(a) In the frequency bands where their satellite network filings have a
frequency overlap, the PNG and The Netherlands operators may freely transmit
digital carriers whose power density at the transmit earth station antenna
flange does not exceed -2.7 dBW/4kHz in association with a 29-25log(0) sidelobe
envelope;
(b) In the frequency bands where their satellite network filings have a
frequency overlap, the PNG and The Netherlands operators may freely transmit
carriers with a downlink EIRP density that does not exceed -29.5 dBW/Hz
(c) Both parties can transmit TV/FM in overlapping C-band subject to the
following limits:
Uplink power into the transmit earth station antenna flange: 27 dBW in
association with a 29-25log(0) sidelobe envelope;
Downlink EIRP: 44 dBW.
The details of the frequencies of the TV/FM transmissions at 121 DEG. W will
be provided by PNG to the Administration of The Netherlands at their request
when The Netherlands needs to plan its overlapping C-band transmissions at
125 DEG. W.
Once the Papua New Guinea satellite at 121 DEG. W and the Netherlands
satellite at 125 DEG. W are simultaneously operating in the overlapping
C-band, in the event that any party identifies additional TV/FM requirements,
both parties agree to meet within 10 calendar days of the request by the
interested party. The parties will make a good faith effort to arrive within
three calendar days to a mutually acceptable operating agreement that satisfies
the operational and service requirements of both satellite systems. This
provision does not preclude a mutually acceptable agreement being achieved via
correspondence within the intended time frame.
The Netherlands agrees to provide information on the TT&C frequencies to be used
at 125 DEG. W if these will operate in C-band. The Netherlands further agrees
to coordinate with Papua New Guinea these TT&C operations in case there is a
frequency overlap with the PACSTAR-L4 satellite network.
Both parties agree that if the conditions identified in this agreement need to
be modified, the parties will work in good faith to arrive at an operational
solution that satisfies the operational and service requirements of both
Administrations within a reasonable time frame.
Based on the above conditions, both parties agree that technical compatibility
is achieved and that coordination is complete between the aforementioned
frequency assignments.
4. CONCLUSION
The Administration of the Netherlands agrees to submit to the ITU its agreement
under Article 9.7 of the Radio Regulations for all the groups of frequency
assignments of PACSTAR-L4 associated with the beams having the following
designations: 6OH, 6OV, 6HH, 6HV, 6NH, 6NV, 4HH, 4HV, 4NH, 4NV and 4OM.
The agreement to the ITU is given for the coordination of the C-band frequency
assignments of PACSTAR-L4 mentioned above and those overlapping frequency
assignments of the NSS-6 (125 DEG. X.X.) and NSS-11 (1120.8 DEG. W)
satellite networks.

Note 1:
a) Either party can freely transmit digital carriers with an uplink power
density and/or downlink e.i.r.p. density up to a value equal to the applicable
lower density level.
b) In the event one party identifies a requirement to transmit a digital
carrier with an uplink power and/or downlink e.i.r.p. density level that exceeds
the lower density level, but does not exceed the upper density level, that party
agrees to notify the other with at least three business days advance notice of
its intention to transmit at a higher level. The notification will include the
uplink power density, downlink e.i.r.p. density, center frequency, occupied
bandwidth, transmit earth station antenna diameter, transmit earth station
location and the satellite downlink beam.
c) In the event that one party identifies the need to transmit a digital
carrier with an uplink power density and/or downlink e.i.r.p. density greater
than the applicable upper density level, the ability to transmit the carrier
will be subject to the case-by-case coordination procedure described in the
procedure for non-conforming operations described below:
NON CONFORMING OPERATIONS:
In the event one party identifies a requirement to transmit a digital carrier
with an uplink power and/or downlink e.i.r.p. density level that exceeds the
specified density level the ability to transmit the carrier will be subject to
the agreement of the other party.
The requesting party shall notify the other party with at least 10 calendar days
of its requirement. The notification will include the uplink power density,
downlink e.i.r.p. density, center frequency, occupied bandwidth, transmit earth
station antenna diameter, transmit earth station location and the satellite
downlink beam. The party receiving the request will analyze the request taking
into account the current loading of its affected satellite(s) and provide,
within 3 business days, either the agreement to the request, alternative
frequency arrangements or a statement that the request cannot be accommodated.
In the latter two cases, the response must be substantiated by detailed
calculation, criteria and assumptions demonstrating why it is not possible to
accommodate the original request.

1.0 GENERAL
This agreement is an addendum to the agreement established between INTELSAT and
New Skies Satellites N.V. (NSS) dated 20 November 1998 regarding technical
compatibility between the satellite systems operated by both entities.
Specifically, the set of conditions apply to the INTELSAT satellite networks and
the NSS satellite networks in the orbital arc from 57 DEG. E to 66 DEG. E as
shown in Annex Nos. 1 and 2 for the INTELSAT and NSS satellite networks
respectively.
2.0 RESOLUTION OF MUTUAL INTERFERENCE BETWEEN NSS NETWORKS AND INTELSAT
NETWORKS
2.1 GENERAL CONDITIONS
The uplink power density limits contained herein are based on the assumption of
an earth station antenna radiation pattern that conforms to a 29 - 25 log (0)
sidelobe envelope pattern. INTELSAT and NSS agree that those transmit earth
station antennas which do not conform to this envelope pattern will have a
corresponding adjustment in the allowable uplink power density limit. INTELSAT
and NSS agree to accept the risk of assuming a 29 - 25 log (0) sidelobe pattern
for all receive earth stations for the purpose of interference calculation when
their respective satellite networks are nominally separated by three degrees or
more.
Both parties agree that there are no restrictions on transmission of their
respective analog and digital carriers when their respective satellite networks
have nominal geocentric separations greater than six (6) degrees.
Both parties agree that, if operational experience, or the emergence of new
services not envisioned at the time of this agreement shows that the
notification thresholds identified in this agreement need to be modified then
mutual agreement is required before any changes are implemented.
3.0 CONDITIONS FOR MUTUAL COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN INTELSAT AT 60 DEG. E AND NSS-8
AT 57 DEG. E
3.1 TRANSMISSION OF ANALOGUE TELEVISION (TV/FM) CARRIERS AT C BAND AND KU BAND
INTELSAT and NSS agree to the following conditions for operation of their
respective TV/FM carriers:
a) INTELSAT and NSS will make reasonable efforts within their ability to
ensure that their respective TV/FM carriers are modulated with video
signals at all times in addition to the energy dispersal signal;
b) The technical information on INTELSAT's TV/FM carriers on the operational
INTELSAT satellite(s) at 60 DEG. E is given in Annex No. 3;
1
c) The technical information on the NSS's TV/FM carriers to be operated on the
NSS-8 at 57 DEG. E is given in Annex No. 3. At least three months prior to
the bringing into operation of the NSS-8 satellite, NSS will confirm to
INTELSAT the technical information of its planned TV/FM carriers to be
operated on the NSS-8 satellite network. For those carriers for which the
center frequencies are different from those listed for the 57 DEG. E
location in Attachments 3 and 4 of the agreement established between
INTELSAT and New Skies Satellites N.V. (NSS) dated 20 November 1998, or are
not in the center of the guardbands between the transponders of the
Intelsat satellite at 60 DEG. E, the procedure described in d) below will
apply;
d) In the event that any party identifies additional analog TV requirements
other than those contained in Annex No. 3, both parties agree to meet
within 10 calendar days of the request by the interested party for the
purpose of making a good faith effort to arrive within three calendar
days to a mutually acceptable operating agreement that satisfies the
operational and service requirements of both satellite systems. This
provision does not preclude a mutually acceptable agreement being achieved
via correspondence within the intended time frame;
e) Each party agrees to inform the other within three business days after so
requested, as to whether any of its TV/FM carriers may be considered as
being permanently deactivated. In this case, the use of the same center
frequency for a new TV/FM carrier is subject to the provision in item d)
above.
3.2 TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL CARRIERS AT C BAND
Both parties agree that the following conditions will be applied to the
operation of digital carriers at C band in the part of the frequency band where
the INTELSAT satellite networks at 60 DEG. E and NSS-8 satellite network at 57
DEG. E have overlapping transponders:
a) Both parties can freely transmit digital carriers with an uplink power
density of -42.0 dBW/Hz.
b) Both parties can freely transmit digital carriers with a downlink e.i.r.p.
density of -36.0 dBW/Hz.
c) For all channels except those connected to the global coverage beam on the
NSS-8 and Intelsat satellites(1), downlink e.i.r.p. densities above -36
dBW/Hz and up to -32 dBW/Hz may be radiated subject to the following
procedure: both parties agree to notify each other with at least three
business days advance notice the frequency bands to be occupied by their
digital carriers that require a downlink e.i.r.p. density greater than
-36.0 dBW/Hz and less than or equal to -32.0 dBW/Hz. This notification will
include the downlink carrier e.i.r.p. density, the downlink beam and the
occupied bandwidth of the carrier.
d) Following the receipt of the notification in c) above, if the notified
party identifies that the operations at the notified density level will
cause harmful interference to its sensitive carriers, it shall respond
within two business days and provide supporting data concerning the
potential harmful interference situation. Both parties will work in good
faith to arrive at a mutually acceptable operating arrangement that
satisfies the operational and service requirements of both parties, within
5 business days following the reply to the notification.
3.3 TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL CARRIERS AT KU BAND
----------
(1) Channels 20, 22 and 24 on the NSS-8 satellite
Channels 10 11 and 12 on the Intelsat satellite
2
Both parties agree to the following conditions applicable to the operation of
digital carriers Ku band for the INTELSAT satellite networks at 60 DEG. E and
NSS-8 satellite network at 57 DEG. E.
a) Both parties can freely transmit digital carriers with an uplink power
density of -45.0 dBW/Hz.
b) Both parties can freely transmit digital carriers with a downlink e.i.r.p.
density of -26 dBW/Hz.
c) For the bands corresponding to those of the NSS-8 transponders identified
with "H" in Figure 1, both parties can transmit digital carriers with a
downlink e.i.r.p. density of up to -22.0 dBW/Hz. When Intelsat has its
satellite beam(s) pointed in such a manner that they overlap with several
of the NSS-8 satellite downlink service areas, the bands within which the
limit of -22 dBW/Hz applies to Intelsat shall be the ones which are
identified with an "H" for all the NSS-8 overlapping beams.
d) For the cases identified in c) above, both parties agree to notify each
other with at least three business days advance notice the frequency bands
to be occupied by their digital carrier that transmit a downlink e.i.r.p.
density greater than -26 dBW/Hz and less than or equal to -22.0 dBW/Hz.
This notification will include the downlink carrier e.i.r.p. density, the
downlink beam and the occupied bandwidth of the carrier.
e) If any party identifies the need to modify the set of transponders which
have been agreed for transmission of digital carriers with a downlink
e.i.r.p. density of up to -22.0 dBW/Hz for the transmission of such
carriers over a wide bandwidth, it shall notify the other party at least
ten business days before the implementation of the modification. For
transmission of digital carriers with a downlink e.i.r.p. density of up to
-22.0 dBW/Hz over a small proportion of the transponder bandwidth section
3.5 will be applied.
f) Following this notification, the notified party shall make best efforts
through the use of mitigating actions to ensure that its operations of
sensitive carriers are compatible with the notifying party's operations at
a downlink e.i.r.p. density level of -22.0 dBW/Hz in the band(s) notified
in e) above. Mitigating actions may include, as appropriate, but not be
limited to: operate in the concerned carrier(s) in the opposite
polarization, change the carrier(s) central frequency, revise the
carrier(s) transmission parameters.
g) If, following the receipt of the notification in e) above, the notified
party determines that the corresponding band is in operation over the
overlapping service area and the available mitigating options will not
accommodate the notifying party's operations at the higher density level,
it shall respond within five business days and provide supporting data
concerning the potential harmful interference situation including the
actions considered under f) above. Both parties will work in good faith to
arrive at a mutually acceptable operating agreement that satisfies the
operational and service requirements of both parties within 5 business
days, following the reply to the notification.
h) Both parties agree that the application of e) and g) above could result in
a higher number of transponders in the "H" stage than the one shown in
figure 1.
3.4 GRAND FATHERING OF HIGH POWER DENSITY CARRIERS
The carriers on NSS-703 at 57 DEG. E and IS-904 at 60 DEG. E that exceed the
notification levels or, for the case of transponders not subject to notification
levels, exceed the maximum density levels specified in sections 3.2 and 3.3
above at the time of the transition to the NSS-8 satellite will be
grandfathered.
The information on these transmissions will be exchanged two weeks prior to the
transition at the latest and included in Annex 5.
3
3.5 NON CONFORMING OPERATIONS
In the event that either party identifies the need to transmit digital carriers
at uplink power densities and/or downlink e.i.r.p. densities greater than the
upper limits stated in the sections 3.2 and 3.3 above, as applicable, both
parties agree to meet within 10 calendar days of the other party's request for
the purpose of making a good faith effort to arrive within three calendar days
to a mutually acceptable operating agreement that satisfies the operational and
service requirements of both satellite systems. This provision does not preclude
a mutually acceptable agreement being achieved via correspondence within the
intended time frame;
3.6 PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE CARRIERS ON BOTH SYSTEMS
In the event that a party notifies the other that harmful interference is caused
to its traffic and is considered to come from the satellite of the other
operator, both parties agree to work in good faith in order to arrive within 5
calendar days, following the request of the notification, to a mutually
acceptable operating agreement that satisfies the operational and service
requirements of both parties.
3.7 PSEUDO BEACON CARRIERS FOR THE NSS-8 SATELLITE AT 57 DEG. E
NSS indicated that they have a requirement to transmit unmodulated tracking
beacons, so called pseudo beacons, in C and Ku band at the edge of some the
NSS-8 communication channels. The planned frequencies and transmission
parameters for these carriers are included in Annex 6. NSS will confirm to
Intelsat the characteristics of the beacons at their next meeting or through
correspondence.
3.8 COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN COMMUNICATION CARRIERS AND TT&C CARRIERS
The NSS-8 satellite at 57 DEG. E channel 12 overlaps with the telecommand and
telemetry carriers of the INTELSAT satellite at 60 DEG. E.
In order to ensure compatibility between the telecommand and telemetry carriers
of the INTELSAT satellite at 60 DEG. E and the communication carriers on the NSS
satellite at 57 DEG. E, NSS agrees to limit the uplink power and/or downlink
e.i.r.p. of digital carriers at 57 DEG. E to the following levels:
o Uplink: 18.0 dBW/800kHz in the band 6172.1 - 6177.9 MHz
o Downlink: -45 dBW/Hz in the band 3947.1 - 3952.9 MHz in the direction
of the INTELSAT telemetry receiving earth stations whose location will
be given by INTELSAT upon NSS request.
The NSS-8 TT&C characteristics are provided in Annex 7.
4. CONDITIONS FOR MUTUAL COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN INTELSAT AT 62 DEG. E, 63 DEG.
E, 64 DEG. E & 66 DEG. E AND NSS-8 AT 57 DEG. E
The conditions to ensure mutual compatibility between the NSS satellites at 57
DEG. E and the Intelsat satellites at 62 DEG. E, 64 DEG. E and 66 DEG. E
described in the agreement between Intelsat and NSS dated 20 November 1998
remain in force and are extended to the Intelsat satellite networks at the
latter locations and included in Annex 1, with respect to NSS satellite networks
in Annex 2.
4
5. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the above conditions both parties agree that technical compatibility is
achieved and that coordination is complete between the satellite networks
covered in this agreement and referenced in Annex Nos. 1 and 2.
Both parties agree to inform their respective Administrations accordingly.
