Exhibit D Description of Application Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. §25.117(c), Ligado Networks Subsidiary LLC (“Ligado”) hereby requests authority to modify the earth station license that is the subject of this application (the “License,” call sign E930124) to reflect the pending change in orbital location of MSAT-2 (call sign AMSC-1) from its current position at 103.3°WL to a new location at 106.5°WL. Ligado is simultaneously filing with the Commission applications under §25.114(c) to (1) modify Ligado’s license for MSAT-2 to authorize operation at the new orbital location1 and (2) modify Ligado’s license for its mobile earth terminals (call sign E980179) to reflect the new orbital location. MSAT-2 is expected to be relocated from its current orbital position to 106.5ºWL in September/October 2018.2 To date, and as authorized by the Commission and ISED, the primary TT&C and feeder link earth stations that communicate with the MSAT-2 satellite are located in Allan Park, Ontario. Ligado will continue operating these earth stations to communicate with MSAT-2 in exactly the same way after relocation to the new orbital location. The earth station in Reston, Virginia that is the subject of this application is currently used as a backup facility in the event 1 See File No. SAT-MOD-20180912-00070 (filed Sept. 12, 2018). To the extent necessary, Ligado incorporates by reference the technical information submitted in that proceeding relevant to the relocation of MSAT-2. As noted in that filing, because 106.5°WL is an orbital location under Canadian authority, Ligado filed an application on August 20, 2018 with Innovation, Science & Economic Development (“ISED”) Canada to establish telemetry, tracking and command (“TT&C”) communications with MSAT-2 and will soon file a further application to operate the satellite’s service and feeder links from that location. Ligado has requested that the Commission indicate to ISED that it consents to relocating MSAT-2 to bring back into use the orbital location at 106.5°WL. 2 Ligado has already received authorization from the Commission to drift MSAT-2 to the new location pursuant to its recent application for Special Temporary Authority. See FCC File No. SAT-TA-20180810-00061 (granted Aug. 28, 2018). The details of that application are incorporated by reference. 1
