Subject:       Certification of Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HNS) for the ECHOSTAR XIX satellite



Dear Mr. Blais:

Pursuant to §25.227(b)(2)(ii) and 25.220(d) of the FCC rules, Hughes Network Systems, LLC provides this
certification letter regarding the application by which Thales Avionics, Inc. (Thales) is seeking
authorization from the FCC to operate technically identical Ka—band transmit/receive terminals on
domestic and international flights, consistent with ITU RR 5.526 and the Commission‘s current rules for
the Ka band. Thales Avionics is seeking authorization for these aeronautical Ka—band earth stations to
utilize the ECHOSTAR XIX satellite located at the 97° WL nominal orbital position, in conformance with
the off—axis EIRP density and power flux density (PFD) levels specified in Section 25.138(a) of the FCC
rules.

Having reviewed the contents of the Thales‘ application, as well as all material presented by them on
how they will utilize the ECHOSTAR XIX satellite included in their letter dated April 11, 2017, HNS


    e      Certifies that coordination for the ITU filing associated with the operation of the ECHOSTAR XIX
         satellite has been concluded with all relevant geostationary satellite networks located in an
         orbital arc at +/— 6 degrees from the 97° WL nominal orbital position.

    *      Certifies that power density levels as specified by Thales are consistent with the existing
           agreements signed by HNS for the inter—satellite coordination of the ITU filings associated with




                     Hughes Network Systems.—   11717 Exploraton Lane * Germantown, MD 20876 + Tel 301.428.5500 * wwhughes.com


                                                                 An EchoStar Company


        the operation of the ECHOSTAR XIX satellite with respect of all relevant geostationary satellite
        networks located in an orbital arc at +/— 6 degrees from the 97° WL nominal orbital position.

    *   Will ensure that, if the operations proposed by Thales are authorized by the FCC, all future inter—
        satellite coordination agreements associated with the operation of the ECHOSTAR XIX satellite
        will include the power density levels specified by Thales.
