CONUS Renewal Description of STA Renewal Request Comtech Mobile Datacom Corporation ("CMDC") hereby requests that the Commission renew and extend, with condition, the special temporary authority ("STA") that the Commission granted with condition on February 2, 2011 for E090029 in File No. SES—STA—20110131—00077. This STA, which expires on April 6, 2011, gives CMDC authority to operate the mobile earth terminals ("MET‘s") presently authorized pursuant to this license in portions of the L—band (1525— 1544/1545—1559 MHz and 1626.5—1645.5/1646.5—1660.5 MHz) on SkyTerra 1 during its testing phase and on MSAT—2 in orbital locations other than those currently listed on the license. CMDC‘s permanent license authorizes CMDC to operate its MET‘s on MSAT—2 at 101.3°W.L. LightSquared Subsidiary LLC ("LightSquared") has launched SkyTerra 1 as the replacement satellite for MSAT—2 and is in the process of locating this satellite at 101.3°W.L. and moving MSAT—2 to 103.3°W.L. It is CMDC‘s understanding that its MET‘s will continue to operate with MSAT—2 for an estimated eight (8) months after MSAT—2 is repositioned, until SkyTerra 1 has been fully tested, service is transitioned to the new satellite, and MSAT—2 is taken out of service. Grant of this STA renewal request will serve the public interest as it will enable CMDC to continue to meet the needs of CMDC‘s existing customers, including the U.S. Army, for services provided on LightSquared‘s satellites. CMDC accepts and complies with any condition imposed in the original STA grant and acknowledges and accepts that grant of this STA renewal request will be similarly conditioned. CMDC further acknowledges that any grant of this STA renewal request is without prejudice to, and will be conditioned on, the Commission‘s final action on any CMDC application. CMDC notes that CMDC has filed an application for permanent authority to cover the operations currently authorized by the STA (see File No. SES— MOD—20110131—00073) and that this application was placed on public notice by the Commission on March 9, 2011 (see Report No. SES—01327). For the reasons set forth above, CMDC respectfully requests that its STA be renewed and extended no later than April 6, 2011.
