 Re:  Call  Sign:  E000669  File  No.:  SES-  MOD-  20050824-  01163 


 Dear  Mr.  Tauber: 
 On  August  22,  2005,  TeleCommunication  Systems  filed  the  above-  captioned  application  for  authority  to  modify  its  existing  VSAT  license  to  add  emission  designators  and  remote  terminals 
 in  the  conventional  Ku-  Band  1  that  would  communicate  with  four  additional  satellites.  Pursuant  to  Section  25.112(  a)(  1)  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §25.112(  a)(  1),  we  dismiss  this 
 application  as  defective  because  of  internal  inconsistencies. 
 Specifically,  in  Form  312  Schedule  B,  you  indicate  that  the  Total  Equivalent  Isotropically  Radiated  Power  (EIRP)  for  All  Carriers  is  53.0  dBW  (Item  E40).  This  value  is  inconsistent  with 
 the  computed  Total  EIRP  for  All  Carriers  derived  from  the  “25  Watts  Maximum  Total  Input  Power  at  the  Antenna  Flange  (Item  E38)”  and  “41.6  Antenna  Gain  Transmit  (Item  E41)”  which 
 are  55.6  dBW. 
 Moreover,  in  Form  312  Schedule  B,  you  indicate  that  the  Maximum  EIRP  Density  per  Carrier  is  25.6  dBW/  4  kHz  for  emission  designator  2M04G7W.  This  value  is  less  than  and  therefore 
 inconsistent  with  the  average  value  of  26.92  dBW/  4  kHz  as  derived  from  the  bandwidth  of  each  emission  and  Maximum  EIRP  per  carrier  value  of  54.  0  indicated  in  your  application. 
 Additionally,  the  Maximum  EIRP  per  Carrier  which  you  indicate  as  54  dBW  (item  E48)  for  emission  designator  2M04G7W  (item  E47)  is  greater  than  and  therefore  inconsistent  with  the 
 Total  EIRP  for  All  Carriers  of  53  dBW  (item  E40).  Given  these  inconsistencies,  we  cannot  determine  the  proposed  emission  power. 


 1  11.  7-  12.2  and  14.  0-  14.  5  GHz  bands.

 Accordingly,  pursuant  to  Section  25.112(  a)(  1)  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §25.112(  a)(  1),  and  Section  0.261  of  the  Commission’s  rules  on  delegations  of  authority,  47 
 C.  F.  R.  §0.261,  we  dismiss  your  application  without  prejudice  to  refiling.  2 


 Sincerely, 


 Scott  A.  Kotler  Chief,  Systems  Analysis  Branch
