      Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 4.8—Meter Earth
                          Station System
This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 4.8—meter earth station system. The analysis and
calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC Office of Engineering
and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997 in Edition 97—01. The radiation
safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC R&O 96—326. Bulletin No. 65 and the
FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in
which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The
Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment
are shown in Table 1. The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is
for an exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an Occupational/Controlled
environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an
exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the analysis described in this report is to determine
the power flux density levels of the earth station in the far—field, near—field, transition region, between the
subreflector or feed and main reflector surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge
and the ground and to compare these levels to the specified MPEs.

1.       Far Field Distance Calculation

The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equation:

     Distance to the Far Field Region                       R; = 0.60 D/A                       (1)
                                                               = 656.6 m

The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following
equation:

     On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field                 S¢    GP/(4 1 R;2)                  (2)
                                                                  24.445 Wim*
                                                                  2.445 mWicm*

2.       Near Field Calculation

Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the
defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same
diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the
antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance.

The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Extent of the Near Field                               Ry = D/ (4 A)                       (3)
                                                                 = 273.6 m

The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Near Field Power Density                               Sn = 16.047 P / (¢ D)               (4)
                                                                 = 57.066 W/im*
                                                                 = 5.707 mW/cm*
3.      Transition Region Calculation

The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density
begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power
density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases
inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in
the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density
calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions
away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following
equation:

     Transition Region Power Density                       S = SRar/ R                          (5)
                                                                 = 5.707 mW/cm*


                                                                                  Exhibit
Radiation Hazard Report                                                           Page 3 of 5


4.      Region between the Main Reflector and the Subreflector

Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed      toward the subreflector surface, and are
reflected back toward the main reflector. The most     common feed assemblies are waveguide
flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between    the subreflector and the reflector surfaces
can be calculated by determining the power density     at the subreflector surface. This can be
determined from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Subreflector                    Ss, 2 4000 P / Ag,                    (6)
                                                               = 1607.423 mW/cm*

5.      Main Reflector Region

The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at
the subreflector. The area is now the area of the main reflector aperture and can be determined
from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Main Reflector Surface      Ssurtace Z4 P / Asurtface                 (7)
                                                               = 88.419 W/m"
                                                               = 8.842 mW/icm*

6.      Region between the Main Reflector and the Ground

Assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, the power density between the antenna and
the ground can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density between Reflector and Ground           Sy =P / Asurface                      (8)
                                                               = 22.105 W/im*
                                                               = 2.210 mW/icm*


                                                                                      Exhibit
Radiation Hazard Report                                                               Page 5 of 5


8.      Conclusions

Based upon the above analysis, it is concluded that harmful levels of radiation may exist in those
regions noted for the Uncontrolled (Table 4) and Controlled (Table 5) Environments.

The antenna will be installed at Astrium Services Government‘s teleport facility in Southbury,
Connecticut. The teleport is a gated and fenced facility with secured access in and around the
proposed antenna. The earth station will be marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings,
as well as the area in the vicinity of the earth station to inform those in the general population, who
might be working or otherwise present in or near the direct path of the main beam.

The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one diameter
away from any building, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE levels. Since one
diameter removed from the center of the main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a
factor of 100, these potential hazards do not exist for either the public, or for earth station
personnel.

Finally, the earth station‘s operating personnel will not have access to areas that exceed the MPE
levels, while the earth station is in operation. The transmitter will be turned off during periods of
maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for those regions in
close proximity to the main reflector, which could be occupied by operating personnel.

The applicant agrees to abide by the conditions specified in Condition 5208 provided below:

       Condition 5208 — The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the
       antenna does not create potential exposure ofhumans to radiofrequency radiation
       in excess ofthe FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310
       wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure
       compliance with limitsfor both occupational/controlled exposure andfor general
       population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance
       can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions such asfencing.
       Requirementsfor restrictions can be determined by predictions based on
       calculations, modeling or byfield measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65
       (available on—line at www.fec.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting
       exposure levels and on methodsfor ensuring compliance, including the use of
       warning and alerting signs andprotective equipmentfor worker.

1.       Far Field Distance Calculation

The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equation:

     Distance to the Far Field Region                       R; = 0.60 D/A                       (1)
                                                                 = 164.2 m

The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following
equation:

     On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field                 S¢    GP/(4nRfi2)                    (2)

                                                                   1.739 mW/cm*

2.      Near Field Calculation

Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the
defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same
diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the
antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance.

The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Extent of the Near Field                               Ry = D/ (4 A)                       (3)
                                                                 = 68.4 m

The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Near Field Power Density                               Sar = 16.0n P / (1 D)               (4)
                                                                 = 40.592 W/m*
                                                                 = 4.059 mW/cm*

3.      Transition Region Calculation

The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density
begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power
density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases
inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in
the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density
calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions
away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following
equation:

     Transition Region Power Density                        S = Sn Rar/ R                       (5)
                                                                 = 4.059 mW/cm*


                                                                                   Exhibit

4.       Region between the Feed Assembly and the Antenna Reflector

Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the antenna reflector surface, and are
confined within a conical shape defined by the type of feed assembly. The most common feed
assemblies are waveguide flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the feed assembly
and reflector surface can be calculated by determining the power density at the feed assembly
surface. This can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Feed Flange                      S;a = 4000 P / Afa                    (6)
                                                                = 1187.040 mW/cm*


5.      Main Reflector Region

The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at
the feed assembly. The area is now the area of the reflector aperture and can be determined from
the following equation:

     Power Density at the Reflector Surface            Ssurtace 7 4 P / Asurtace                 (7)
                                                                = 74.396 W/im*
                                                                = 7.440 mWi/ecm*


6.      Region between the Reflector and the Ground

Assuming uniform iHlumination of the reflector surface, the power density between the antenna and
the ground can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density between Reflector and Ground            Sy     P / Asurface                   (8)
                                                                  18.599 W/m*
                                                                  1.860 mW/cm*


                                                                               Exhibit

 It is the applicant‘s responsibility to ensure that the public and operational personnel are not
 exposed to harmful levels of radiation.


                                                                                         Exhibit
Radiation Hazard Report —                                                                Page 5 of 5


8.       Conclusions

Based upon the above analysis, it is concluded that FCC RF Guidelines have been exceeded in
the specified region(s) of the Uncontrolled (Table 4) and Controlled (Table 5) environments. The
applicant proposes to comply with the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits of 1.0
mW/cm**2 for the Uncontrolled Areas, and the MPE limits of 5.0 mW/cm**2 for the Controlled
Areas.

The earth station will be mounted aboard a ship, and it is recommended that the lower edge of the
antenna should be at least 2 meters above the deck. If this is not the case, additional procedures
will be instituted to ensure the safety of the Public in the vicinity of the antenna.

The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one diameter
away from any buildings, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE levels. Since one
diameter removed from the center of the main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a
factor of 100, public safety will be ensured.

The earth station will marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, as well as the area in
the vicinity of the earth station, to inform those in the general population, who may be working or
otherwise present on the deck, and in or near, the main beam of the antenna.

Finally, the earth station‘s operating personnel will not have access to areas that exceed the MPE
levels, while the earth station is in operation. The transmitter will be turned off during periods of
maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for those regions in
close proximity to the main reflector, which could be occupied by operating personnel.


The applicant agrees to abide by the conditions specified in Condition 5208 provided below:

         Condition 5208 — The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the
         antenna does not create potential exposure ofhumans to radiofrequency radiation
         in excess ofthe FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310
         wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure
         compliance with limitsfor both occupational/controlled exposure andfor general
         population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance
         can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions such asfencing.
         Requirementsfor restrictions can be determined by predictions based on
         calculations, modeling or byfield measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65
         (available on—line at www.fec.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting
         exposure levels and on methodsfor ensuring compliance, including the use of
         warning and alerting signs andprotective equipmentfor worker.

      Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 2.4—Meter Earth
                          Station System
This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 2.4—meter earth station system. The analysis and
calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC Office of Engineering
and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997 in Edition 97—01. The radiation
safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC R&O 96—326. Bulletin No. 65 and the
FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in
which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The
Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment
are shown in Table 1. The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is
for an exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an Occupational/Controlled
environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an
exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the analysis described in this report is to determine
the power flux density levels of the earth station in the far—field, near—field, transition region, between the
subreflector or feed and main reflector surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge
and the ground and to compare these levels to the specified MPEs.

1.       Far Field Distance Calculation

The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equation:

     Distance to the Far Field Region                       Ry = 0.60 D* /A                      (1)
                                                                  = 164.2 m

The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following
equation:            B

     On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field                 S; = GP/(4 1 Ry*)                    (2)
                                                                  = 13.497 W/im*
                                                                  = 1.350 mW/cm*

2.      Near Field Calculation

Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the
defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same
diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the
antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance.

The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Extent of the Near Field                               Ry = D/ (4 A)                        (3)
                                                                  = 68.4 m

The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Near Field Power Density                               S =16.071 P /( D)                    (4)
                                                                  = 31.508 W/m*
                                                                  = 3.151 mW/cm*

3.      Transition Region Calculation

The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density
begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power
density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases
inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in
the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density
calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions
away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following
equation:

     Transition Region Power Density                        St = SRat/ R;                        (5)
                                                                  = 3.151 mW/cm*


                                                                                   Exhibit
Radiation Hazard Report                                                            Page 3 of 5


4.       Region between the Feed Assembly and the Antenna Reflector

Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the antenna reflector surface, and are
confined within a conical shape defined by the type of feed assembly. The most common feed
assemblies are waveguide flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the feed assembly
and reflector surface can be calculated by determining the power density at the feed assembly
surface. This can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Feed Flange                       S; = 4000 P / Afy                    (6)
                                                               = 48868.476 mW/cm*


5.      Main Reflector Region

The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power density at
the feed assembly. The area is now the area of the reflector aperture and can be determined from
the following equation:

     Power Density at the Reflector Surface            Ssurtace = 4 P / Asurtace                 (7)
                                                                = 64.051 W/im*
                                                                = 6.405 mW/cm*


6.      Region between the Reflector and the Ground

Assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, the power density between the antenna and

It is the applicant‘s responsibility to ensure that the public and operational personnel are not
exposed to harmful levels of radiation.


                                                                                       Exhibit

8.      Conclusions

Based upon the above analysis, it is concluded that FCC RF Guidelines have been exceeded in
the specified region(s) of the Uncontrolled (Table 4) and Controlled (Table 5) environments. The
applicant proposes to comply with the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits of 1.0
mW/cm**2 for the Uncontrolled Areas, and the MPE limits of 5.0 mW/cm**2 for the Controlled
Areas.

The earth station will be mounted aboard a ship, and it is recommended that the lower edge of the
antenna should be at least 2 meters above the deck. If this is not the case, additional procedures
will be instituted to ensure the safety of the Public in the vicinity of the antenna.

The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one diameter
away from any buildings, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE levels. Since one
diameter removed from the center of the main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a
factor of 100, public safety will be ensured.

The earth station will marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, as well as the area in
the vicinity of the earth station, to inform those in the general population, who may be working or
otherwise present on the deck, and in or near, the main beam of the antenna.

Finally, the earth station‘s operating personnel will not have access to areas that exceed the MPE
levels, while the earth station is in operation. The transmitter will be turned off during periods of
maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for those regions in
close proximity to the main reflector, which could be occupied by operating personnel.


The applicant agrees to abide by the conditions specified in Condition 5208 provided below:

       Condition 5208 — The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the
       antenna does not create potential exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation
       in excess of the FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310
       wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure
       compliance with limits for both occupational/controlled exposure andfor general
       population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance
       can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions such as fencing.
       Requirements for restrictions can be determined by predictions based on
       calculations, modeling or by field measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65
       (available on—line at www.fec.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting
       exposure levels and on methods for ensuring compliance, including the use of
       warning and alerting signs and protective equipmentfor worker.
