Dear Mr. Robert:

An examination of the above—referenced application discloses that additional information is necessary before processing
may continue. We request that Globecomm Systems, Inc. provide the following information:                             :

1.         Please provide the information regarding the Hispasat C—1 @ 30 W.L. as required in paragraphs 190 and 191
           of the Report and Order, Non—U.S. Licensed Satellites Providing Domestic and International Service in tflle
           United States, 12 FCC Red 24094 (released November 26, 1997) (DISCO II Order). Also see Public Notice,
           Report No. SPB—1400 released on October 28, 1998. Please submit the technical information about the
           Hispasat C—1, if the coordination between the United States and Brazil regarding the Hispasat C—1 has not beeén
           completed.

2.         Please correct the maximum antenna height above mean sea level for the 9.0 and 9.3 maters antennas in item
           B5 (d), Schedule B, FCC Form 312.

3.         Please reduce the power and correct the EIRP and EIRP density of emission 36M0G7W for the 9.3—meter
           (AOT—10). The EIRP exceeded the maximum aggregate output EIRP for all carriers (85.7 dBW).

4.         If the frequency band 13.75 — 14 GHz will be used to communicate with Hispasat C—1, please limit the
           satellite arc to reflect the orbital location of Hispasat C—1 only, and correct items B6 (c, d, e, f, g, h, 1).

Please feel free to contact me on any questions you may have at (202) 418—0742. The requested information should be
supplied as an amendment to the above referenced application, signed by the applicant. If the Commission within 30
days of this letter does not receive the amendment, your application will be dismissed without prejudice as defective
and your filing fee will be forfeited.
