                                            Public Interest

        Globecomm Systems, Inc. (“GSI”) is an applicant for a proposed international 1.0 meter

Kuband transmit/receive earth station at their Hauppauge, New York teleport (E120057; SES-

LIC-20120315-00272). An STA was previously granted (SES-STA-20120315-00273) but was

inadvertently allowed to expire. The station is to be used to monitor and test the Maresk

shipping companies vessels at sea communication systems which provide communications as

well as tracking individual shipping containers. These vessels, in many cases, will be

communicating directly with and carrying goods of U.S. Citizens. The STA would give GSI

authority to operate the earth station, to align and test the earth station prior to grant which will

avoid delay of use of the station by the customer when the earth station is authorized. Further

STA is requested to continue with the alignment and testing process. This temporary operation

to test and align would be in the public interest by enabling immediate customer usage of the

communications and cargo tracking upon grant of the license application by providing the

customer continued information relating to domestic and international status that would affect

the citizens financial status and loss of goods. Accordingly, grant of the STA is in the public

interest.
