Burtle, Chief Experimental Licensing Branch Office of Engineering and Technology Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Panasonic Avionics Corporation, Call Sign WD9XQT, File No. 0339-EX-ST-2009; Addition of New Antenna Type for Testing and Demonstration Dear Mr. Burtle: Panasonic Avionics Corporation (“PAC”), through its attorneys, hereby notifies the Commission, pursuant to Section 5.77 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 5.77, that PAC will test an additional Ku-band transmit/receive terminal type not specifically listed in the above referenced authorization. PAC will operate up to five (5) such terminals for testing and demonstration with the eXConnect Ku-band aeronautical mobile-satellite service (“AMSS”) system under the above-referenced authorization. The new terminal, marketed under the name “MIJET Lite,” is manufactured by Starling Advanced Communications Ltd., the antenna panel manufacturer for the Aura LE antenna authorized by the FCC in the above-referenced experimental STA and in PAC’s initial ground test STA (Call Sign WD9XQT, 0544-EX-ST-2009).1 In fact, the MIJET Lite is a single-panel version of the two-panel Aura LE antenna and the same transmit/receive panel is used on both antennas. As a result, the MIJET Lite has the same performance as the Aura LE when operating at elevation angles of 25º or less (when the Aura LE shuts off its rear panel as a result of blockage from the front panel).2 1 See Attached Product Brochure, MIJET Lite Data (only). 2 PAC hereby incorporates by reference the technical information submitted to the FCC regarding the Aura LE antenna. See Call Sign WD9XQT, 0544-EX-ST-2009.

Like the Aura LE antenna, the MIJET Lite terminal is fully compliant with the Commission’s two-degree spacing requirements and the off-axis EIRP spectral density levels associated with routinely licensed VSATs that have been applied to mobile Ku-band terminals in similar contexts (e.g., earth stations onboard vessels (ESVs), vehicle-mounted earth stations (VMESs) and Ku-band AMSS terminals). These are the same levels applicable to PAC’s aeronautical broadband operations and included in coordination agreements between its serving satellite operators and adjacent operators within +/- 6 degrees. Because the MIJET Lite will operate with the same technical parameters as the currently authorized Aura LE antenna (i.e., same emissions designators, transmit spectrum and authorized power) and Panasonic will otherwise conform to the conditions of its existing experimental STA, operation of the new terminal is consistent with Section 5.77 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 5.77. Please feel free to contact the undersigned with any questions you may have regarding this matter. Sincerely, PANASONIC AVIONICS CORPORATION /s/ Carlos M.
