Washington, DC 20554 Re: KVH Industries, Inc. Request for Special Temporary Authority To Operate Land Mobile Satellite Service Earth Stations; IBFS File Number SES-STA-20091019-01338 Dear Ms. Medley: On October 19, 2009, KVH Industries, Inc. (“KVH”) filed a request for Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) to operate up to 15 Land Mobile-Satellite Service (“LMSS”) earth stations in the 14.0- 14.5 GHz and 11.7-12.2 GHz frequency bands pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(2) of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(2). Since that time, rules for Ku-band vehicle-mounted earth stations (“VMESs”) have become effective. Although KVH still requests STA authority to operate the proposed LMSS network on a secondary basis (rather than on a primary basis under the VMES rules), it is filing supplemental information for association with the underlying STA request to confirm compliance with certain aspects of the VMES rules and clarify other elements of the request. KVH understands that this submission will allow its pending STA request to be placed on public notice and processed in due course. First, KVH confirms that the 24/7 point of contact provided in the STA request (see Exh. A, Narrative at 1 n.1) is for both ESV and LMSS operations. Thus, the KVH point of contact for control of LMSS operations is Brian Arthur, VP, Product Development, KVH Industries, Inc., 50 Enterprise Center, Middletown, RI 02842, Tel: 401-845-8153, Email: barthur@kvh.com. In addition, the contact information for the control facility at Carlsbad, CA used by KVH is 6155 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 92009, Tel: 760-476-2583.

Kathyrn Medley SQUIRE, SANDERS & DEMPSEY L.L.P. May 3, 2010 Page 2 Second, KVH acknowledges the information collection requirements set forth in Section 25.226(a)(6) of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.226(a)(6), which requires VMES operators to maintain a record of vehicle location (i.e., latitude/longitude), transmit frequency, channel bandwidth and satellite used (at intervals no greater than five minutes); retain them for a period of not less than one year; and make them available upon request to a coordinator, fixed system operator, satellite operator, NTIA or the Commission within 24 hours of the request. KVH confirms that it will comply with this provision. Finally, KVH clarifies that the heading in Table 1, Column 5 in the STA Request Narrative (see Exh. A at 4) contains a typographical error. Rather than dBW/40 kHz, the column heading should read dBW/4 kHz. KVH appreciates the opportunity to supplement its pending STA request looks forward to working with the Commission staff to facilitate expeditious action on the request.
