Dear Mr. Paul Blais,

Regarding our Application Submission ID: 1B2015002353, (add MT2220 Antenna) ViaSat, Inc. is
requesting to replace the current RADHAZ analysis with the attached new RADHAZ analysis.

On December 3, 2015, ViaSat requested to add an additional antenna to License Number E130033. We
seek blanket authority to operate up to 100,000 electrically identical satellite mobile earth terminals
("METs") to communicate with the SkyTerra—1 satellite, utilizing L—Band frequencies at 1525—1559 MHz
and 1626.5—1660.5, but excluding the 1544—1545 MHz and 1645.5—1646.5 MHz bands, which are
reserved for safety and distress communications services. SkyTerra—1 is operated by LightSquared
Subsidiary LLC (*LightSquared"), and is authorized to use these bands to serve the United States.

ViaSat is a leading provider of innovative satellite broadband services, and a leading manufacturer of
innovative satellite communication products. The MT2220/Explore 122 is an alternate construction of the
FCC licensed AT2220 aviation terminal. Both terminals utilize same antenna assembly and modem
assembly. The MT2220/Explore 122 is packaged slightly different from the AT2220 to achieve lower cost
point suitable for land mobile platforms.

In the RADHAZ analysis, an error in the linear Gain of the antenna was discovered. The gain has been
corrected and the analysis updated in the new RADHAZ document.



Sincerely,
