       Re: Section 25.145(f)(2) Report for Call Signs E110149 and E060445

Dear Ms. Dortch:

        HNS License Sub, LLC (“Hughes”), hereby submits the annual report that
Section 25.145(f)(2) of the Commission’s Rules requires of holders of licenses for
blanket earth stations that operate in the fixed-satellite service in the 20/30 GHz
bands. See 47 C.F.R. § 25.145(f)(2). Hughes is the licensee of Ka-band blanket
licensed earth stations under Call Signs E060445 and E110149. The antennas
under Call Sign E060445 are used primarily to communicate with the
SPACEWAY 3 and EchoStar XVII satellites that are operated by Hughes’
corporate parent in the 20/30 GHz frequency bands at the nominal 95º W.L. and
107º W.L. orbital locations, respectively. The antennas under Call Sign E110149
are gateway antennas used to communicate with the EchoStar XVII satellite at the
nominal 107º W.L. orbital location.

        Section 25.145(f)(2) obligates blanket licensees of 20/30 GHz earth
stations to submit to the Commission an annual report indicating the number of
earth stations actually brought into service under its blanket license. The report is
to indicate the deployment figures for the preceding calendar year. See 47 C.F.R.
§ 25.145(f)(2).

        Commercial operation of the SPACEWAY 3 satellite commenced in April
2008, and commercial operation of the EchoStar XVII satellite commenced in
October 2012. As of December 31, 2013, approximately 860,000 earth terminals
of various types authorized under the license for Call Sign E060445 had been
brought into service via SPACEWAY 3 and EchoStar XVII. As of the same date,
14 earth terminals authorized under the license for Call Sign E110149 had been
brought into service via EchoStar XVII.
