1. Summary of Results
In support of General Dynamics Satellite Communication Services’ proposal to modify the
frequencies on earth station E980049 at 29 GHz1, Comsearch performed a frequency search
considering all existing and proposed incumbent licenses within the coordination contours of the
Ka-Band station in Wahiawa, Hawaii. The search results identified licensees in the common
carrier fixed point-to-point microwave service and local television transmission service (LTTS).
Prior notification letters were sent to the licensees and a copy of the notification data is provided
in section three of this report. The earth station coordination was finalized on November 17,
2011 and no objections were received from any of the incumbents.




1
 General Dynamics proposes to add 50 MHz of spectrum to E980049, which is currently transmitting at
29.1 – 29.25 GHz. The final frequency allocation would allow the earth station to operate from 29.1 –
29.3 GHz in the Ka-Band.
