Dear Mr. Cosgrove:

         On July 13, 2016, Nextel Communications of the Mid—Atlantic, Inc. ("‘Nextel") filed the
above—captioned applications to modify its current 12/14 GHz VSAT network licenses to add
three different remote antennas (1.2 meters, 2.4 meters and 1.5 meters) to operate in the 14.0—14.5
GHz (Earth—to—space) and 11.7—12.2 GHz (space—to—Earth) frequency bands. Pursuant to Section
25.112(a)(1) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112(a)(1), we dismiss the applications,
without prejudice to re—filing.‘

         Section 25.112(a) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112(a), requires the
Commission to return as unacceptable for filing any earth station application that is not
substantially complete, that contains internal inconsistencies, or does not substantially comply
with the Commission‘s rules. For the reasons stated below, Nextel‘s applications are
inconsistent, do not comply with the Commission‘s rules, and are subject to dismissal.

File No.: SES—MOD—20160712—00649
         In Item E40 of Schedule B, for the Remote #3 antenna, Nextel listed an incorrect value
(57.68 dBW) as the total EIRP for all carriers. We calculate the correct value to be 55.3 dBW for
all carriers, based on the 43.0 dBi gain of the antenna provided in Item E42 of Schedule B and the
total input power at antenna flange (17.1 watts).

         In Item E49 of Schedule B, for the Remote #3 antenna, Nextel listed an incorrect value



‘ If Nextel refiles an application in which the deficiencies identified in this letter have been corrected but is
otherwise identical to the one dismissed, it need not pay an application fee. See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1111(d).

  (—59.92 dBW/AkHz). We calculate the correct value to be 32.41 dBW/4kHz, based upon the
  carrier EIRP value of 57.68 dBW provided by Nextel in Item E48, and the emission bandwidth
  provided in Item E47.‘

          In Item E40 of Schedule B, for the Remote #5 antenna, Nextel listed an incorrect value
  (58.2 dBW) as the total EIRP for all carriers. We calculate the correct value to be 57.5 dBW for
  all carriers, based on the 45.7 dBi gain of the antenna provided in Item E42 of Schedule B and the
  total input power at antenna flange (15.1 Watts).*

 total input power at antenna flange (17.1 watts)."

         In Items E48 and E49 of Schedule B, for the Remote #3 antenna, Nextel listed the same
 incorrect values (0 dBW/4kHz). We calculate the correct value for E49 to be 30.0 dBW/4kHz,
 based upon an assumed carrier EIRP value of 55.3 dBW for E48, and the emission bandwidth
 provided in Item E47.

           In Item E40 of Schedule B, for the Remote #5 antenna, Nextel listed an incorrect value
 (58.2dBW) as the total EIRP for all carriers. We calculate the correct value to be 57.5 dBW for
 all carriers, based on the 45.7 dBi gain of the antenna provided in Item E42 of Schedule B and the
 total input power at antenna flange (15.1 Watts).‘

25.112(a)(1), and Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, we dismiss these
