Dear Mr. Albuquerque:

HNS License Sub, LLC (“HNS”) submits this supplemental letter to clarify that prior coordination
notification letters were sent to existing and proposed terrestrial 28 GHz licensees without any stated
assumption regarding secondary earth station operations. Accordingly, the attached Comsearch
coordination reports have been revised to delete reference to any assumption of secondary operations.

Further, as requested by Commission staff, Comsearch sent the following additional notice to existing
and proposed terrestrial 28 GHz licensees: “Pursuant to Section 101.103(d)(2)(ix) of the Commission’s
Rules, you are being notified that the associated applications for the coordination reports referenced
above and previously forwarded in December 2018 are being amended to clarify that, in the frequency
band 27.5-28.35 GHz, the applicant is seeking an authorization pursuant to Section 25.136(a)(4) of the
Commission’s Rules. No response is required.”

Please contact the undersigned with any further questions.

Sincerely,


/s/ Kimberly M. Baum

Vice President, Regulatory Affairs
