       MODIFICATION APPLICATION TO ADD POINT OF COMMUNICATION

        By this application, HNS License Sub, LLC (“Hughes”), hereby requests a modification

of its license for experimental Call Sign WE2XEW, File No. 0096-EX-ML-2009, to add the

Galaxy 19 space station at 97.0° W.L. (Call Sign S2647) as an additional point of

communication in the Ku-band fixed-satellite service frequencies. The addition of Galaxy 19 as

a point of communication would provide a valuable new satellite platform that will enable

Hughes to continue its domestic testing, demonstration and training operations of mobile

terminals in the continental United States. Further, the addition of this point of communication

will increase Hughes’ ability to find suitable satellite capacity that will ensure its ability to

satisfy its obligation not to cause harmful interference through the terminals it is authorized to

use. Having the flexibility to look to multiple satellites for the space segment component ensures

the minimization of the potential for undesired interference resulting from the ongoing

experimentation program.

        This modification application proposes no change whatsoever to the technical

characteristics of the license for Call Sign WE2XEW as authorized in its September 16, 2009

modification grant. All technical operations with the Galaxy 19 satellite will be consistent with

the terms of the existing authorization. Prior to commencement of operations using Galaxy 19,

Hughes will coordinate its use of antennas authorized under Call Sign WE2XEW with Intelsat,

LLC (the satellite’s operator) and other nearby co-frequency satellites.


       In view of the benefits outlined above and the absence of a need for detailed technical

review, Hughes respectfully requests the expeditious consideration and grant of this application.
