Exhibit A I. DESCRIPTION OF STA REQUEST ISAT US, Inc. ((‘TSAT US") hereby files this request for regular special temporary authority ("STA") to follow up the verbal STA granted by the Commission, with conditions, for a period beginning 10/2/2017 and ending 11/1/2017. See the attached confirmation of the grant of the verbal STA request. The STA requested in this application would authorize ISAT to operate all terminals licensed under blanket earth station license call signs E140114, E140029 and E150097 to communicate with the Inmarsat 5F2 satellite located at 55° W. L. on its HCC beam that has been located as shown below. This authorization will be used to continue supporting recovery operations from Hurricanes Irma and Maria in the Caribbean using the 29.25—29.35 GHz band (Earth—to—space) and the 19.45—19.55 GHz band (space—to—Earth). II. ISAT US SEEKS AUTHORITY TO OPERATE BLANKET—LICENSED TERMINALS ON ADDITIONAL FREQUENCY BANDS (29.25—29.35 GHz/19.45— 19.55GHz) ISAT US is already licensed to operate terminals under blanket earth station license call signs E140114, E140029 and E150097 in the 29.5—30 GHz uplink bands and the 19.7—20.2 GHz downlink bands. For emergency support operations in the Caribbean, ISAT US seeks an STA to operate also in the following additional frequency bands: 29.25—29.35 GHz (uplink) and 19.45—19.55 GHz (downlink). The terminals operated in these additional frequencies will operate using the same technical parameters, e.g. polarization, EiRP density level, as contained in the relevant license for each of the terminal types. —

The 24 Hour Point of Contact during the STA is the Inmarsat Network Control Center that can be reached at +44 207 728 1616. Because Iridium operates in the 29.25—29.3 GHz band from its Arizona site, ISAT already has provided notice of the verbal STA to Iridium, noting that, given the wide geographic separation, there should be no impact on Iridium‘s operations. In any event, ISAT US requests this STA on the condition that all operations under the STA are on an unprotected and non—harmful interference basis.
