Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Application of Panasonic Avionics Corporation for Special Temporary Authority File No. SES-STA-20120913-00820 (Call Sign E100089)______________________ Dear Ms. Dortch: Further to its submission of October 24, 20121 and pursuant to Section 1.65 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.65, Panasonic Avionics Corporation (“Panasonic”) hereby clarifies the downlink (receive) frequencies to be utilized by the Aura LE antenna pursuant to special temporary authority (“STA”) requested in the above-referenced STA application. An inconsistency between an entry on FCC Form 312 and the technical appendix of the underlying modification application may have caused confusion with respect to the proposed receive bands.2 Specifically, Panasonic seeks to operate the “eXConnect” aeronautical mobile-satellite service (“AMSS”) system using the following satellites and receive frequencies in ITU Region 2: Satellite Downlink Frequencies GE-23 11.45-12.2 GHz Estrela do Sul 2 (T-14R) 11.45-12.2 GHz Galaxy 17 11.7-12.2 GHz T-11N (Telstar 11R) 11.45-12.2 GHz 1 See Letter from Carlos M. Nalda to Marlene H. Dortch dated October 24, 2012 (File No. SES- STA-20120913-00820). 2 See Panasonic Application for License Modification, (File No. SES-MFS-20120913-00818), Technical Appendix at 23. The technical information from the associated modification application is incorporated by reference in this application proceeding. Panasonic will soon file an amendment to its pending license modification application to address this issue. 37 Offices in 18 Countries Squire Sanders (US) LLP is part of the international legal practice Squire Sanders which operates worldwide through a number of separate legal entities. Please visit squiresanders.com for more information.

Squire Sanders (US) LLP November 15, 2012 Panasonic would note that it will generally use frequencies on satellites other than Galaxy 17 on flights to and from the United States, and that eXConnect aircraft earth stations (“AESs”) will be transitioned to the Galaxy 17 satellite while operating over the continental United States (“CONUS”). Panasonic would also note that it does not seek to operate in the 12.2-12.7 GHz band (allocated to DBS/BSS) in Region 2. Please feel free to contact the undersigned with any questions you may have or if Panasonic can provide any additional information to facilitate expeditious action on its pending STA application. Respectfully submitted, Squire Sanders (US) LLP /s/ Carlos M. Nalda ______________________________________ Carlos M.
