                                                                    November 2010


                                   Description of Application



       Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (“Lowe’s”) hereby requests a modification to its VSAT earth

station authorization under Call Sign E030039 to allow for wider bandwidth carriers to be

transmitted by the VSAT’s that have the same EIRP but a lower EIRP density. These changes

will allow Lowe’s to make better and more effective use of its network.

       To this end, Lowe’s hereby requests a modification to its earth station license under Call

Sign E030039 in the following respects:

       a. Modification of emission codes for Hub antenna and remote antennas;

       b. Administrative correction to remote antennas to reflect changes in model numbers;

       c. Administrative correction of antenna gain for Hub and 2.4 meter remote antennas;

       d. Administrative correction to remote control points for remote antennas; and

       e. Administrative correction to Hub antenna geographic coordinates.



       In the Form 312, Schedule B submission of the instant Modification Application, Lowe’s

provides only the information to be changed in this Modification Application and the additional

information necessary to submit the Modification Application in the Commission’s online filing

system. Lowe’s confirms that all information not provided with this Modification Application

for any of the listed earth station antenna types is unchanged from the current authorization. To

the extent necessary for the Commission to process this application, Lowe’s incorporates by


                                                                    Exhibit A
                                                                    Lowe’s Companies, Inc.
                                                                    Call Sign E030039
                                                                    Modification of License
                                                                    November 2010


reference this information as it was provided with the relevant underlying license application for

each such antenna type.



Modification of emission codes for Hub antenna and remote antennas

       Lowe’s requests that all the emission information in Section B of its current authorization

under Call Sign E030039 be removed and replaced with the material in Schedule B of the

attached Form 312 to allow for the full use of this equipment. This material is summarized in the

Tables below.

Administrative correction to remote antennas to reflect changes in model numbers

       Lowe’s hereby requests an administrative correction to its earth station license in Call

Sign E030039 to correct the model numbers to the remote earth station antennas it is authorized

to deploy. Lowe’s emphasizes that these are the same antennas now authorized from Prodelin;

the new model numbers are vendor product codes for the antennas.


                                                                       Exhibit A
                                                                       Lowe’s Companies, Inc.
                                                                       Call Sign E030039
                                                                       Modification of License
                                                                       November 2010


        The following table shows the existing antenna (by site identifier in the license and

antenna diameter), the current model name from the license, and the new vendor model name for

that antenna.



 Site Identifier   Antenna Diameter (meters)      Current Model Name        New Model Name

   TR 1.2M                    1.2                         1134             HNS-AN-120P-KU

   TR 1.8M                    1.8                         1184             HNS-AN-180P-KU

   TR 2.4M                    2.4                         1244             HNS-AN-240P-KU




        Lowe’s requests that the Commission include the new model names for the respective

earth terminal types in Section E of the license for Call Sign E030039. The model names listed

in the table above should, as appropriate, replace the existing model names. Lowe’s emphasizes

that there are no changes to the site identifiers on the license.



Administrative correction of antenna gains for Hub and 2.4 meter remote antennas

        Lowe’s hereby requests an administrative correction to its earth station license in Call

Sign E030039 to adjust the antenna gain performance for both the Hub antenna and for the 2.4

meter antennas. The administrative corrections reflect the antenna gains at centers of the bands

in lieu of the antenna gains at the edges of the bands as provided in the current authorization. No

physical or technical changes to the antennas are requested; the corrections reflect the values at

the middle of the bands and are more representative of the actual gain patterns. The Hub antenna


                                                                   Exhibit A
                                                                   Lowe’s Companies, Inc.
                                                                   Call Sign E030039
                                                                   Modification of License
                                                                   November 2010


and the 2.4 meter Prodelin Model HNS-AN-240P-KU remote antennas shall remain fully

compliant with §25.209 of the FCC’s Rules.



Administrative correction to remote control points for remote antennas

       Lowe’s requests that the remote control points for the remote antennas authorized under

Call Sign E030039 be corrected to reflect the current Hub antenna address at 1000 Lowe’s

Boulevard, Mooresville, North Carolina.



Administrative correction to Hub antenna geographic coordinates

       An examination of the license revealed that the geographic coordinates for the Hub

antenna were incorrectly listed on the license. The geographic coordinates are corrected in the

Schedule B of the attached Form 312.
