Description of Transaction and Public Interest Statement Knight Sky Consulting and Associates (“Knight Sky”) (Licensee and Assignor) and the TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (“TCS”) (Assignee) hereby notify the Commission that they desire to transfer from the Assignor to the Assignee the following two licenses: LICENSEE LICENSE # FILE # Knight Sky Consulting E070086 SES-LIC-INTR2007-01058 Earth Station / C-Band (4/6 and Associates Fixed Satellite GHz) Knight Sky Consulting E060261 SES-LIC-INTR2006-01748 Earth Station / Ku-Band and Associates Fixed Satellite (12/14 GHz) VSAT System This transfer is in the public interest as it is being made so that TCS can comply with a vital disaster recovery / homeland security support contract from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) previously held by Knight Sky. From a technical perspective, noting will be changing with the earth stations except that TCS will be the vendor instead of Knight Sky. TCS is a leading provider of mission critical wireless and satellite data solutions to government customers, public safety, and carriers. TCS produces wireless data communications technology solutions that require proven high levels of reliability. TCS is a publically held corporation (NASDAQ – TSYS) with over 650 employees, and has the financial, legal, and technical expertise to administer these licenses. TCS will conduct operations under these licenses in accordance with and subject to applicable rules and regulations. Because there are no technical, environmental, geographic, power, equipment, frequency, or other changes being made to these licenses, TCS is requesting expedited treatment of its application(s). DHS uses this system for vital life saving disaster recovery communications, therefore, an expedited review is in the public interest. In addition, as noted above, there are not substantive technical changes from the prior acceptable license applications other than the party as licensee. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
