FCC RF Hazard Compliance Analysis Prepared for Ship Equip AS 1.25 Meter Ku-band VSAT Operation The following analysis shows an assessment of compliance with applicable FCC limits for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) for 1.25 Meter Ku-band very small aperture terminal (VSAT) operated by Ship Equip AS. Operating parameters Parameter Value Unit Antenna diameter 1.25 Meter Aperture Efficiency 65 % Maximum possible antenna input power 8 Watt Operating Frequency 14~14.5 GHz Operating condition The potential exposure in area in the front of antenna is only limited by the trained technical operator. As a standard safety practice, 1) all operators are trained to turn off the TX power before accessing to antenna for maintenance, 2) TX mute zone is configured as a part of installation procedure where the transmit is muted when the antenna points to a direction where potential directly RF radiation exposure can occur. FCC MPE Limit Since immediate access to this VSAT is restricted to Ship Equip AS trained personnel, MPE limit of 5.0 mW/cm² applies. Analysis Note this analysis is based on Bulletin OET 65. Parameter Value FCC MPE compliance Power density in the antenna surface 2.6 mW/cm² 52% of the MPE S = 4 * P/A Near-field, on-axis power density in front of the 1.7 mW/cm² 34% of the MPE antenna S = 16ŋP /(πD²) Potential Exposure Level to the side of the antenna 0.017 mW/cm² 0.34% of the one diameter from main beam MPE Table 1 Mathematic calculation of various power densities per Bulletin OET 65 Confidential and Property of Azimuth Unlimited Azimuth Unlimited, LLC 3020 N.

Potential Exposure Level directly in front of the antenna According to Bulletin OET 65, the applicable formula for power density at antenna surface is S = 4 * P/A where S is power density, P is antenna input power, and A is the surface area of the antenna. With 8W of maximum input power, the power density at the antenna surface is 2.6 mW/cm² as shown in Table 1. This power density is equivalent to 52 percent of the FCC occupation MPE limit. The formula for near-field, on-axis power density in front of the antenna is S = 16 *ŋ*P /(pi * D²) where “ŋ” is the antenna efficiency and D is the antenna diameter. With 8 W of maximum input power, the near-filed on-axis power density in front of the antenna is 1.7 mW/cm² as shown in Table 1, which is equivalent to 34 percent of the FCC occupation MPE limit. Potential Exposure Level to the side of the antenna The near field power density of the aperture antenna drops rapidly outside the imaginary cylinder of its main beam extending from antenna surface. According to Bulletin OET 65, the power density at a distance of one antenna diameter (125cm) to the side of the antenna drops at a factor of 100( 20dB) lower than the value calculated for the equivalent distance in the main beam. It would be less than 0.017mW/cm², which is equivalent to 0.34 percent of the occupational limit. Confidential and Property of Azimuth Unlimited Azimuth Unlimited, LLC 3020 N.

Conclusion Based on the result of power density calculation and in addition, consideration of access restriction and standard safety procedures, it is our conclusion that the operation of Ship Equip’s Ku-band 1.25M VSAT satisfies the compliance requirement in the FCC regulation.
