Re: Annual Progress Report of HNS License Sub, LLC
Pursuant to Call Sign WE2XEW -- Amended

Dear Sir or Madam:

This Progress Report of HNS License Sub, LLC (“Hughes”) is submitted pursuant
to the special conditions associated with Hughes’s Experimental Radio Service license in
Call Sign WE2XEW.

As of April 1, 2013, Hughes continues to conduct experimental operations with
in-motion earth terminals in the fixed-satellite service (“FSS”) frequencies at 14-14.5
GHz and 29.5-30 GHz. In 2005, Hughes began a test and development program dealing
with satellite communication systems capable of operating while the earth terminal is in
motion. Being an area of potential interest to its customers, Hughes used its program to
investigate how its existing products could best be adapted for use in a mobility
environment. These experimental operations respond to potential and actual customer
requirements, assess or demonstrate the viability of particular equipment and service
configurations that are under development, and/or test different antenna products from
various manufacturers in order to assess the performance of these products when
integrated into the Hughes VSAT system.

Since the date of its last Progress Report, Hughes has not employed the limited
ability the license in Call Sign WE2XEW provides with respect to market studies. It
continues to be the case, however, that Hughes tests a variety of different antennas under
its license for Call Sign WE2XEW, as a means to demonstrate compatibility between
new mobility antenna models and Hughes equipment. In each of these cases, the test
equipment has been decommissioned upon completion of the tests.
