                      00555; Call sign E180006

Dear Ms. Dortch:

        Viasat, Inc. (“Viasat”) supplements the above-referenced application with the attached
engineering certification from AT&T confirming that Viasat has coordinated the proposed earth
station operations with the DIRECTV satellites operating in the range of 99º W.L. to 103º W.L.,
which, as explained in the application, are the only potentially affected networks.

       Please contact the undersigned if you have any questions regarding this submission.



                                            Respectfully submitted,

                                                   /s/

                                            Elizabeth R. Park

Re: Engineering Certification of AT&T


This letter certifies that AT&T is aware that Viasat, Inc. (“Viasat”) is seeking authority from the
Commission to operate up to 4,000 technically identical M40 and 4,000 technically identical
GM40 transmit/receive earth stations mounted on aircraft using the 28.35-28.6 GHz and 29.5-
30.0 GHz bands for uplink transmissions and the 17.7-18.8 GHz and 19.7-20.2 GHz bands for
downlink transmissions. These earth stations in motion (“ESIMs”) will communicate with
ViaSat-2 at 69.9º W.L, pursuant to the technical parameters described in Viasat’s application,
IBFS File No. SES-LIC-20180123-00055, Call Sign E180006 (“Viasat Application”).

AT&T is authorized to operate the Ka-band satellites listed in the table below in all or parts of
the satellite uplink bands 28.35-28.6 GHz and 29.25-30.0 GHz and the satellite downlink bands
of 18.3-18.8 GHz and 19.7-20.2 GHz. AT&T is also authorized to operate Ku-band BSS
satellites listed in the table below that use the 17.7-17.8 GHz for feeder uplink. AT&T is familiar
with the technical and operating parameters of the proposed ESIMs described in the ViaSat
Application. AT&T confirms that the operations proposed in the Viasat Application have been
coordinated with, and are not expected to cause unacceptable interference into, the operations of
the networks listed in the table below.
