    Subject:          Supplemental Information Regarding Applications of Telesat Network
                      Services, Inc. for a Modified License Authorizing Operation of an Earth
                      Stations on Vessels (ESV) Network and for Special Temporary
                      Authority to Commence Operations While the Modification Application is
                      Pending 1

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Telesat Network Services hereby answers the following questions posed by the FCC’s
staff in connection with the above-referenced applications:

      1. Does the EIRP density limit in the 13.77-13.78 GHz sub-band exceed the
         71dBW/6MHz limit, contained in footnote US 357, of the U.S. Table of
         Frequency Allocations?

       Answer: The target Satellite, Telstar 11N, is not equipped to operate in this sub-
       band. The transmit frequency range in the extended Ku uplink band for the LMA4
       T11N hub antenna will be limited to the 13.81 – 14.00 GHz portion of the 13.75-
       14.00 GHz band.

      2. In Block E50, there are Null entries. Provide the Modulation Information.

       Answer: The carriers identified as Receive carriers correspond to the Transmitted
       carriers contained in the instant application for the “transmit side” of the Hub earth
       Station and the Remote ESVs. Attached is a table for each antenna contained in this

1
    File Nos.: SES MOD-20090206-00154 and SES-STA 20090213-00182, Call Sign KA399.

    application. It shows the receive carrier and modulation information for each
    emission type and receive frequency band.

   3. For purposes of the Application for Special Temporary Authority (STA), during
      the requested STA period, will the ITU Region 1 downlink frequency band 12500
      – 12750 MHz be used?

   Answer: The initial frequency assignment for this particular service, in ITU region 1,
   will use transponders, on the Telstar 11N satellite (Call Sign S2357), with the
   frequency range 11452 – 11506 MHz in both the Europe Beam and the Africa Beam.
   Accordingly, we are not requesting an STA to operate in the 12500 – 12750 MHz
   band.

Should the Commission require additional information, I can be reached at 908-698-
4883.

Very truly yours,




George F. Wazeter
