                                                                      NewCom International, Inc.
                                     Modification Adding Extended Ku-band Frequencies to E050018
                                                                                        Exhibit A

                               EXHIBIT A – APPLICATION SUMMARY

1.0 - Description of Application

        The instant modification application seeks authority for NewCom International, Inc.
(“NewCom”) to communicate with the Amazonas-2 satellite located at 61° west longitude in the
geostationary arc using extended Ku-band frequencies.1 Specifically, NewCom seeks to modify
its authority under Call Sign E050018 to permit transmission earth-to-space to the Amazonas-2
in the 13.75 to 14.00 GHz frequency range.2 The proposed communications with the Amazonas-
2 will use an existing 4.5 antenna operated Call Sign E050018.3

         The Amazonas-2 has already been approved to serve the United States market using
conventional Ku-band frequencies (11.70-12.20 GHz and 14.00-14.5 GHz).4 NewCom seeks to
incorporate by reference the technical parameters for the Amazonas-2’s extended Ku-band
transponders, which were provided to the Commission concurrently with the parameters for the
satellite’s conventional Ku-band transponder payload.5

        NewCom does not seek authority to communicate with any other commercial satellite in
the 13.75-14.00 GHz frequency range.

       Beyond authorization to communicate with the Amazonas-2 in the above frequencies,
NewCom does not seek to modify any of the technical or carrier parameters authorized under
Call Sign E050018.

1
        The Amazonas-2 is operated by Hispamar Satellites, S.A., and was added to the FCC Permitted List as an
approved point of communication for conventional C-band and Ku-band fixed satellite services on October 15,
2009. See Petition for Declaratory Ruling, Hispamar Satellites, S.A., IBFS File No. SAT-PPL-20090806-00081
(“Amazonas-2 FCC Application”).
2
         The Amazonas-2’s extended Ku-band transponders are paired with space-to-earth transponders that operate
in the conventional band (i.e., 11.7-12.2 GHz). Accordingly, NewCom will downlink from the Amazonas-2
pursuant to its existing authority to receive signals from ALSAT satellites.
3
       The proposed antenna is identified on the current license for Call Sign E050018 as the ES 2Ku. See IB File
No. SES-MOD-20070314-00350.
