The Silver Spring Teleport off Seminary Road in an industrial park in Silver Spring, MD [Recently purchased by PanamSat G2 from Esatel...it is a commercial teleport with no commercial customers that is essentially the dedicated sat link for the State Depts BIMC (Beltsville Info Management Center)....and the renamed Warrenton Training Center which was previously the installation known as Vint Hill Farm. Fiber telco circuits connect it to both customers. Its just a very fortunate spot for looking at some really low angle birds over the Atlantic that other DC teleports have an impossible time seeing. There is some other traffic running through there as well that I cant discuss.
