Dear Sirs;

Aviation Spectrum Resources Inc. (ASRI) is submitting on behalf of ARINC Incorporated
(ARINC) an application for an experimental license for ARINC to operate from the ARINC
system test bed in Annapolis, MD.

ARINC is requesting to perform Avionics Qualification Policy (AQP) testing with the
Cobham Aviator 300 Swift Broadband unit (SBU). AQP testing will consist of the reception
and transmission of ACARS data and Voice over Swift Broadband on the
ARINC/INMARSAT GLOBALink Network using INMARSAT 1-4 Series Satellites.

This testing will validate the Cobham SBU’s compliance with all applicable ARINC/AEEC
standards, and will test interoperability with other AQP qualified avionics when
communicating on the network. The test equipment will include a Cobham high gain
directional antenna, the Cobham Aviator 300 SBU, coax cabling, ARINC 429 data bus
wiring, AC/DC power supply, various ARINC 758 compliant Communication Management
Units (CMUs), and other applicable avionics.

For your information ASRI is also including a specification sheet for the Cobham transmitter
that ARINC would like use.

If you should have any questions regarding this application, please contact me via email at
ccw@asri.aero or via telephone number 410-266-4800.

Sincerely,

Strong Foundation Means More Possibilities
The core unit of Cobham’s SwiftBroadband systems, the SwiftBroadband Unit (SBU), has an optional built-in wireless access point
for easy connection of laptops, Smartphones, Tablets or VoIP handsets. The optional built-in router makes it easy to connect up to
6 laptops and the ISDN interface can be connected to phones, routers, PCs or secure devices. Two 2-wire interfaces enables the
connection of standard or wireless handsets, fax machines, headset interface boxes etc.
The detachable configuration modules contain all settings making it very easy to replace the combined High power amplifier, Low
noise amplifier and Diplexer (HLD) or SwiftBroadband Unit (SBU). ARINC 741/781 compatibility ensures a straightforward interface to an
Intermediate Gain (IGA) antenna.
