John -- Attached is a request filed today by Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC (“MSV”) for temporary
authority to transmit on certain frequencies in the L-band (1551.213 - 1555.187 MHz) from a fixed antenna
adjacent to its headquarters in Reston, Virginia to measure the degree of RF coupling into existing L band
receive antennas at MSV’s satellite gateway facility in Reston, Virginia.

Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC (“MSV”) requests temporary authority to transmit on certain frequencies
in the L-band (1551.213 - 1555.187 MHz) from a fixed antenna adjacent to its headquarters in Reston, Virginia to
measure the degree of RF coupling into existing L band receive antennas at MSV’s satellite gateway facility in
Reston, Virginia.


Purpose of Operation
                                         MSV requests temporary authority to transmit on certain
                                         frequencies in the L-band (1551.213 - 1555.187 MHz) from a fixed
                                         antenna installed on the roof of a building adjacent to MSV’s
                                         headquarters in Reston, Virginia that will be used to support an
                                         upcoming test and demonstration of MSV’s next-generation Ancillary
                                         Terrestrial Component. See File No. 0165-EX-ST-2006 (filed April 5,
                                         2006). With the experimental STA requested here, MSV seeks
                                         authority to transmit on the specified L-band frequencies from a
                                         fixed antenna to determine the amount of RF isolation between this
Please explain the purpose of operation: antenna and MSV’s existing L band antennas at its Reston, Virginia
                                         facility used for ongoing satellite operations. The test will entail
                                         transmitting a low-power (≤ 0 dBW EIRP) carrier from the antenna
                                         and measuring the received power level at several outdoor locations
                                         on MSV’s Reston gateway premises. This testing may be performed
                                         over extended time periods of up to several days in order to
                                         characterize long-term fading and possible diurnal effects. MSV’s
                                         predecessor, Motient Services Inc., received an experimental STA to
                                         conduct similar tests in October 2000. See File No. 0462-EX-ST-
