Information to Support Radio Approval of the SAT-401 IsatM2M Terminal REG-0004 Issue 2 2 THE SAT-401 INMARSAT ISATM2M TERMINAL 2.1 Overview The SAT-401 INMARSAT IsatM2M Terminal consists of a modem PCBA and patch antenna mounted within a PC/ABS enclosure. Refer to Figure 1 to Figure 6. Figure 1: External View of a SAT-401 Terminal The SAT-401 modem PCBA contains all of the active circuitry and is enclosed by two shielding cans. The shielding cans are made from a metallised plastic that provides the required level of RF shielding for the module. The patch antenna parts are mounted in a stack on top of the modem PCBA. The stack is held together with the 4 fixing screws that secure the stack in place in the enclosure.  Honeywell Global Tracking Ltd Page 2 of 12 Honeywell Classification: UNRESTRICTED

The antenna is an omni-directional patch element that is mounted above a ground plane.  Honeywell Global Tracking Ltd Page 5 of 12 Honeywell Classification: UNRESTRICTED

Information to Support Radio Approval of the SAT-401 IsatM2M Terminal REG-0004 Issue 2 2.5 Radiation Hazard Analysis This analysis summarizes the power flux density levels for the SAT-401 MET. The calculations in this exhibit follow the methodology outlined in OET Bulletin No. 65 (Edition 97-01 August 1997) “Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields,” and Supplement C (Edition 01-01 June 2001) entitled “Additional Information for Evaluating Compliance of Mobile and Portable Devices with FCC Limits for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Emissions.” The following table summarizes the relevant antenna and MET characteristics. Manf. MET Type Antenna Antenna Size Antenna Peak Type Gain (dBi) Honeywell SAT-401 Patch 0.11m 6.0 Global Tracking The MET type has a peak EIRP of less than 9 dBW. The power flux density calculations in this exhibit are based on this peak value for a transmitting frequency at 1.6 GHz. At this frequency, the maximum permissible exposure (“MPE”) levels in the FCC’s guidelines are as follows: Occupational/controlled 5 mW/cm2 averaged over 6 minutes General population/uncontrolled 1 mW/cm2 averaged over 30 minutes While most of applications for this MET will be located in areas that fall within the FCC’s definition of “Occupational/controlled,” there may be some applications where the MET operates in areas where the general public may be present. Those persons falling within the former category will be made fully aware of the potential for exposure through warning signs, labels, operating instructions and/or training. Those METs that are not fixed at any particular location fall under the Commission’s definition of “mobile” (not “portable”) transmitting devices because they are designed to be generally used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structures and the body of a user or nearby persons. The power flux density levels around the MET type can be calculated as follows: S = EIRP/4πR2 = 1.58 mW/cm2 (at 20 cm) However, as indicated in OET Bulletin 65, the FCC’s exposure guidelines are averaged over certain periods of time. Because the transmissions from the MET is “burst” in nature, they are not always on and therefore the power flux density levels can be averaged over time. While typical MET will transmit bursts only a few times per day, a worst case scenario could result from the following:  Honeywell Global Tracking Ltd Page 9 of 12 Honeywell Classification: UNRESTRICTED

Information to Support Radio Approval of the SAT-401 IsatM2M Terminal REG-0004 Issue 2 Maximum length of each transmission burst = 8 seconds Transmission time slot = 10 seconds The MET references its timing from the received traffic channel to which it must tune and decode the frame header before a transmission is allowed in the following 30 second frame. The Inmarsat-D (IsatM2M mode) system limits the maximum number of transmissions to 4 in any 2 consecutive 30 second frames. As a result: Maximum transmit/total time ratio = 4*8/60 = 0.533 Using this factor and the above calculated power flux density level yields a power flux density as follows: Max power flux density = 1.58 * 0.533 = 0.842 mW/cm2 (at 20 cm) As indicated above, this level is within the most restrictive MPE requirements for general population/uncontrolled environments.  Honeywell Global Tracking Ltd Page 10 of 12 Honeywell Classification: UNRESTRICTED

The modem and antenna parts are exactly the same. The standard SAT-401 has a base entry connector which is soldered directly to the modem PCBA (see central connector in Figure 9). The SAT-401E has a side entry cable that mates with the modem PCBA via the edge connector (see Figure 9). The SAT-401C has a base entry cable that mates with the modem PCBA via the edge connector (see Figure 9).
