Exhibit Radiation Hazard Report Page 1 of 6 Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 4.6—Meter Earth Station System This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 4.6—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.

Exhibit Radiation Hazard Report Page 2 of 6 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) = 603.1 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/(41R;") (2) = 8.851 W/im* = 0.885 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) = 251.3 m The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation: Near Field Power Density Sar =16.0 41 P /(« D) (4) = 20.661 W/m* = 2.066 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 =Sy Ra/R; (5) = 2.066 mW/cm*

Exhibit Radiation Hazard Report Page 3 of 6 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 Ssr = 4000 P / Agr (6) = 167.826 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 =4 P / Asurtace (7) = 30.086 W/m* = 3.009 mW/cm* 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 Sqg =P / Asurtace (8) = 7.522 W/im" = 0.752 mW/cm*

Conclusions Based on the above analysis it is concluded that the FCC MPE guidelines have been exceeded (or met) in the regions of Table 4 and 5. The applicant proposes to comply with the MPE limits by one or more of the following methods. Radiation hazard signs will be posted while this earth station is in operation. The earth station is located in a secured area with secured access. All individuals having access to the area around the antenna will be aware of the Radiation Hazard from the antenna, thus creating a controlled environment.

Exhibit Radiation Hazard Report Page 5 of 6 Means of Compliance Controlled Areas The earth station‘s operational staff will not have access to the areas that exceed the MPE levels while the earth station is in operation. The transmitters will be turned off during antenna maintenance 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.
