Narrative for Experimental STA

MariTEL, Inc. (“MariTEL”) is the largest provider of VHF Public Coast (“VPC”) services and
provides both voice and data communication solutions to the maritime industry. MariTEL
continues to expand its wireless data capabilities and is collaborating with SEA to assess the use
of technology for VHF-FM Digital Small Message Services as contemplated by Special
Committee 123 (“SC123”) of the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services
(“RTCM”).

Permission is requested for six months to operate equipment from SEA Inc. (“SEA”) that
supports both traditional voice/DSC operations in addition to short data messaging using GMSK
and the polite implementation contemplated in SC123. The proposed use is within the
geographic areas licensed to MariTEL in accordance with call signs WPOJ532. VPC
frequencies will be used to support base and mobile transmissions as currently permitted by FCC
rules; no mobile stations will transmit on the coast station “B-side” frequencies.
