FCC Form 442 Exhibit 1: CMC Page 1/3 EXHIBIT 1 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Comsat Mobile Communications (CMC) will be operating one fixed Satcom pallet equipped with Honeywell Electronics Avionics at their INMARSAT ground earth station at Southbury, CT. The equipment will be operated for the purpose of, a) Test and demonstrate operation of an INMARSAT aircraft earth station (AES) with terrestrial public switched telephone and data systems (PSTN and PSDN) interfaces for voice/data/fax applications. b) Provide capability to monitor vendor changes, training capability for the commissioning and Maintenance Terminal (CMT), monitoring of Land Earth Station (LES)Y/AES interface and confirm AES preference programming specifications. The equipment shall operate in the Marine and Aeronautical Mobile Satellite band of frequencies. Demonstration of the operational capability of this equipment requires transmitting. No "FOR HIRE" communications are to be provided during any use of this equipment. DIGITAL VOICE AND DATA The equipment shall transmit on channel of digital voice or high speed data using 21 Kb/sec (10.5) A—QPSK modulation. The system shall use a high gain stationary helix test antenna. In addition, low speed data will be transmitted using an A—BPSK modulation. All modulation complies with aviation standards. Ground communication services shall be provided by CMC and other INMARSAT land earth station operators (LESOs) as required. OPERATING DETALILS The bands comprising 1626.5 to 1660.5 MHz will be used. Specific frequencies and operating schedules will be coordinated with Inmarsat, in cooperation with CMC and other INMARSAT LESOs. RF Power Output The maximum RF power output of the equipment will be 60 Watts per carrier (17.8 dBW peak).

FCC Form 442 Exhibit 1: CMC Page 2/3 Antenna Gain A high gain helix antenna shall be used to provide a gain of 12 dBic and half power beam width of 28 degrees. EIRP The maximum equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) shall be 27.6 dBW (peak) (17.8 +9.8).

A—BPSK Aviation Binary Phase Shift Keying uses a specific form of differentially encoded BPSK where in—phase and quadrature channels are used to transmit alternate symbols. (Referenced: "Differential Detection With Intersymbol Interference and Frequency Uncertainty" by J.H. Wintore in IEEE Transactions on Communications, January 1984, Vol. Comm— 32, No. 1, pp. 25—33.)

FCC Form 442 Exhibit 1: CMC Page 3/3 NECESSARY BANDWIDTH Radiated bandwidth from the equipment is controlled by the use of raised cosine filters in the transmitter. The A—QPSK are signals subjected to either a 60% or 100% raised cosine filter. A 40% raised cosine filter is used for the A—BPSK signals. The associated necessary bandwidth calculation is: BW=1/T (1+1) Where 1/T is the symbol transmission rate in symbols per second and r is the rolloff factor.
