                                   Inmarsat Hawaii, Inc.
                          Request for Special Temporary Authority
                                         Exhibit A

        By this filing, Inmarsat Hawaii, Inc. (“Inmarsat Hawaii”) renews its request for special
temporary authority to communicate with the Inmarsat 4F3 satellite located at 97.65 degrees
W.L. via its earth station located at Paumalu, Hawaii (Call Sign E080059). The current STA
is File No. SES-STA-20100427-00484.

        Notably, Inmarsat Hawaii has filed an application to permanently modify the existing
earth station license for its gateway earth station located at Paumalu, Hawaii to enable it to
receive certain Global Positioning System (“GPS”) related data as a part of the Federal Aviation
Administration's Wide Area Augmentation System (“WAAS”)(File No. SES-MFS-20100204-
00162)(“Modification Application”). That application was placed on Public Notice on March 10,
2010 (Satellite Division, Report No. SES-01224). No comments were filed.

        Grant of the requested STA would serve the public interest, convenience and necessity by
allowing Inmarsat to continue configuring and testing its components of the WAAS system
during the scheduled testing period, and until the Modification Application is granted. Doing so
thus would facilitate important United States government interests in improving the performance
and accuracy of the existing GPS network. Therefore, Inmarsat Hawaii respectfully requests that
the Commission grant the requested STA for an additional period of 60 days, beginning June 30,
2010.
