1. Summary of Results
On behalf of Media Networks Services’ proposed earth station transmitting at 28 GHz1,
Comsearch performed a frequency search considering all existing and proposed terrestrial
licenses within the coordination contours of the Ka-Band station in Laredo, Texas. The search
results identified licensees in the local multipoint distribution service (LMDS), common carrier
fixed 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 four of
this report. The earth station coordination was finalized on January 25, 2013.

No objections were received from any of the incumbent 28 GHz licensees. Our notification to
the LMDS incumbents was performed under the assumption that the earth station would be
operating on a secondary basis to LMDS Block A operations and a contact at Media Networks
Services USA has been provided in case any concerns may arise in the future.


2. 28 GHz Common Carrier and LTTS Coordination
In accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations, a Ka-Band earth station in Laredo, TX was
prior coordinated by Comsearch. The notification letters and datasheet for this earth station
were sent to the following 28 GHz common carrier fixed microwave licensees on January 4,
2013. These licensees are authorized to operate temporary fixed operations from 27.5 – 29.5
GHz on a statewide or nationwide basis.

3. 28 GHz LMDS Coordination
Notification letters were sent to the following 28 GHz LMDS licensees on January 4, 2013 with a
follow-up notification on January 22, 2013. The proposed earth station will operate on
frequencies that overlap Block A of the LMDS service. The total frequency allocation for Block
A of the LMDS spectrum appears below.

Block A:            27.500-28.350 GHz
                    29.100-29.250 GHz
