ViaSat, Inc. FCC International Bureau Presentation April 13, 2011

Discussion Topics ƒ ViaSat Overview ƒ Next Generation Satellite Systems ƒ Satellite Program Status ƒ User Terminal ƒ Gateway Earth Stations ƒ Other 2

ViaSat Overview ƒ ViaSat founded as startup company in 1986 and has been public since 1996 (NASDAQ: VSAT) ƒ Market capitalization of approximately $1.4 billion and last fiscal year revenues of nearly $700 million ƒ ViaSat invents, designs and builds telecommunications technology ƒ Leading provider of consumer broadband, enterprise and government satellite networks and communications products on a global basis – Shipped over 600,000 consumer terminals worldwide over last five years – WildBlue service (purchased by ViaSat in December 2009) has approximately 425,000 customers using two first generation Ka band satellites – Leading provider of VSAT networks, tactical data links and network security to US Department of Defense 3

Consumer Broadband ƒ WildBlue is a leading US broadband satellite service provider – Over $900 million cumulative invested capital – Entered service in 2005 ƒ Infrastructure – 2 Ka Satellites – ViaSat SurfBeam networking system ƒ Over 425,000 subs today – 55% wholesale (powered by), 45% WildBlue brand retail ƒ Distribution partners 4

Satellite Technology Leadership ƒ Leading innovator in satellite communications industry – Focus on continued improvement in performance and bandwidth efficiency of satellite networks – First to design ~140 Gbit/s satellite (VIASAT-1) – Assisted in architecture of Eutelsat’s KA-SAT satellite (~70 Gbit/s) – Next generation satellites currently in design phase with further capacity improvements 5

Next Generation Satellite Systems ƒ Next Generation North American Satellite System – Over $400 million invested in satellite and ground technologies – Partnership for Canadian capacity with Barrett and Loral – Will drastically improve broadband speeds and quality of service to levels similar to many terrestrial technologies – Lowers cost per bit allowing affordable service offerings – Access to NGSO spectrum is critical to this result ƒ Partners for Next Generation Satellite Systems – Eutelsat in Europe, North Africa and Middle East – Yahsat in Middle East – Barrett/Loral in Canada 6

ƒ ViaSat-1 Satellite ƒ ~140+ Gbit/s ƒ Q3 CY2011 Launch 7

Extraordinary Capacity ƒSatellite Capacity (Gbit/s) ViaSat Proprietary Information 8

Satellite Coverage User Beams in blue, Gateway beam center in Red 9

Satellite Info ƒ 16 U.S. Gateway locations + 1 Canadian – Gateway beams are 3 or 4 color reuse ƒ 63 U.S. User beams – User beams are 1 color reuse ƒ User beam coverage in heavily populated areas ƒ Gateway beams in less populated areas with arid to moderate rain / weather climates 10

Satellite Status ƒ Satellite is complete and in final testing ƒ Launch window is late July to early August ƒ IOT period is approx 60 days ƒ Service commencement late Oct to early Nov ƒ US334 coordination underway 11

FCC Authorizations ƒ FCC authorizations granted – VIASAT-1 market access grant (S2747) • 1500 MHz uplink – Portion shared with NGSO (secondary) – Portion shared with LMDS (secondary) • 1500 MHz downlink – Portion shared with NGSO on non-conforming basis – Portion shared with terrestrial users being sunsetted 12

FCC Application Status ƒ FCC applications pending – User terminal (4 M) – GSO and NGSO band • Has completed PN period with no comments – 14 Gateway earth stations (in U.S.) • 2 gateways also provide TT&C support ƒ FCC applications to be filed – 2 Gateway earth station applications • Anchorage & Juneau – STAs to support on-site GW antenna testing prior to grant of GW application – STAs for support of IOT 13

User Terminal 14

User Terminal ƒ Fully 25.138 compliant ƒ Transmits in frequency bands – 28.35 – 29.1 GHz, 29.5 – 30.0 GHz ƒ Receives in frequency bands – 18.3 – 19.3 GHz, 19.7 – 20.2 GHz ƒ Same considerations that warrant blanket licensing rules in GSO band warrant blanket licensing waiver in NGSO band 15

Gateway Earth Station 16

Gateway Earth Station ƒ Meets FCC 25.138 requirements ƒ Transmits in frequency bands – 28.1 – 29.1 GHz 29.5 – 30.0 GHz ƒ Receives in frequency bands – 18.3 – 19.3 GHz, 19.7 – 20.2 GHz 17

Sharing ƒ Gateways and user terminals use same NGSO sharing technique as previously approved for spacecraft ƒ Gateways and user terminals compatible with existing terrestrial uses of the bands 18

Other ƒ WildBlue minor modification (on PN) ƒ Minor updates to to pending applications 19
