       Re:      Request for Experimental Radio Station License
                File No. 0423-EX-CN-2017

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein supplements its above referenced Request for Experimental
Radio Station License. Specifically, Intelsat is updating the record to include the following information
requested by Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) staff.

With respect to the satellites:
    Longitude of satellite
          o Intelsat 29e: 50.0° W.L.
          o SKY-B1: 43.15° W.L.
          o Galaxy 19: 97.0° W.L.
    Satellite coverage (Narrow Beam(NB) or Earth Coverage(EC))
          o Intelsat 29e: NB
          o SKY-B1: NB
          o Galaxy 19: CONUS Beam
    Receive antenna gain
          o Intelsat 29e: 42.3 dBi
          o SKY-B1: Two beams with gains of 37.3 dBi and 43.74 dBi
          o Galaxy 19: 33 dBi
    Beamwidth of the receive antenna at the half power points
          o Intelsat 29e: 1.5°
          o SKY-B1: Two beams with beamwidths of 2.5° and 1.25°, respectively
          o Galaxy 19: 3.75°

With respect the transceiver fixed ground-station antenna(s):
    Transmit antenna gain (dBi): 27.3 dBi
    Beamwidth of transmit antenna at the half-power points: -2.0° / + 2.2° from boresight
    Transmit antenna azimuth:
          o IS-29e: 140.4°
          o SKY-B1: 132.6°
          o Galaxy 19: 208.7°
    Elevation of transmit antenna MSL (in meters): 170 m
    Elevation of transmit antenna AGL (in meters): 1.2 m
