Panasonic Avionics Corporation Modification of Call Sign WH2XCJ T-PED Interference Ground Testing at Smith Reynolds Airport, Winston-Salem, North Carolina July 24, 2015 MODIFICATION NARRATIVE Panasonic Avionics Corporation (“Panasonic”) respectfully requests a modification of its existing two-year experimental license (Call Sign WH2XCJ) to include additional commercial airfield test sites and add five frequency bands to the list of test frequencies on which Panasonic will conduct ground testing in support of Panasonic’s Global Communications Suite (“GCS”) featuring the “eXconnect” Ku-band aeronautical mobile- satellite service (“AMSS”) off-board link and onboard connectivity for transmit portable devices (“T-PEDs”). Background Currently, Panasonic holds the following additional experimental licenses and STAs to conduct T-PED interference testing at multiple airfields: • Call Sign WG2XEE, a two-year experimental license at San Francisco International Airport, Denver International Airport, Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Melbourne (FL) International Airport and Griffis International Airfield in Rome, NY (valid until June 2016); • Call Sign WG2XRN, a two-year experimental license at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, TX (valid until August 2015); • Call Sign WG2XGI, a two-year experimental license at Tampa (FL) International Airport and Lake City, (FL) Gateway Airport (valid until November 2016); • Call Sign WF2XLF, a two-year experimental license at Paine Field / Snohomish County Airport in Everett, WA, Texas Technical College Waco Airport, Southern California Logistics Airport in Victorville, CA, and Pied-Triad International Airport in Greensboro, NC (valid until November 2016); • Call Sign WG2XRL, a two-year experimental license at Washington Dulles International Airport (valid until August 2015); • Call Sign WG2XRK, a two-year experimental license at Newark Liberty International Airport (valid until September 2015); • Call Sign WG2XZX, a two-year experimental license at Guam International Airport and Honolulu International Airport (valid until November 2016); • Call Sign WG2XZY, a two-year experimental license at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (valid until April 2016); • Call Sign WH2XTL, a two-year experimental license at Sussex County Airport in Georgetown, DE (valid until July 2017); and • Call Sign WH2XTK, a two-year experimental license at Chennault International Airport in Lake Charles, LA and Miami International Airport (valid until August 2017).

Panasonic is seeking to consolidate its T-PED interference testing operations and plans to use the same test frequencies at each of the commercial airfields.

Testing Plan and Frequencies Panasonic also respectfully requests a modification of its existing experimental license to add six frequency bands to the list of test frequencies on which Panasonic will conduct ground testing in support of the GCS. Panasonic has sought and received FCC experimental authorization to conduct T-PED interference testing at airfields using the same test frequency bands that are proposed in the instant modification. Most recently, the FCC authorized Panasonic to conduct testing under Call Sign WH2XTL (File No. 0038-EX-PL-2015), a two-year experimental license at the Sussex County Airport in Georgetown, Delaware, and Call Sign WH2XTK (File No. 0036-EX-PL-2015), a two- year experimental license at Chennault International Airport in Lake Charles, LA and Miami International Airport in Florida. Attached is Table 1, which lists the amended test frequency bands. Also listed are the proposed wireless standards and associated technical information for each test band: modulation (pulse or continuous wave), maximum EIRP, maximum ERP, emission designator, among others. A single 1 MHz test frequency in each uplink band, also identified, will be used for testing. Specifically, Panasonic seeks to add the following frequency bands to each of the test sites: • 614-698 MHz: 656 MHz • 1427.9-1447.9 MHz: 1438 MHz • 1447.9-1462.9 MHz: 1455 MHz • 1626.5-1660.5 MHz: 1644 MHz • 1710-1785 MHz: 1748 MHz • 2300-2400 MHz: 2350 MHz The modification to the two-year experimental license does not make any other changes to information included in the original application.
