          APPLICATION TO MODIFY EXISTING ESAA BLANKET LICENSE

       By this application, Panasonic Avionics Corporation (“Panasonic”) seeks Commission

authority to modify its existing earth stations aboard aircraft (“ESAA”) license, Call Sign

E100089, by adding 1,000 of its next-generation Single-Panel Antenna (“SPA”) terminals to its

Ku-band ESAA license for the “eXConnect” aeronautical mobile-satellite service (“AMSS”)

system for operation within the United States.1 In addition, Panasonic seeks to add the Telstar 12

Vantage (“Telstar 12V”) as an authorized point of communication for its previously licensed

Panasonic Phased Array (“PPA”) terminal.

       The SPA terminal, which is fully certified for operation on the subject commercial

aircraft, is a single-panel variant of the previously licensed PPA that will operate in accordance

with the terms of the Panasonic Order, the Panasonic ESAA License, and Section 25.227 of the

Commission’s rules governing ESAA operations. In addition, proposed PPA operations with

Telstar 12V will enhance the in-flight broadband connectivity services available to U.S.-

grant of this modification application is consistent with Commission precedent and will strongly

serve the public interest.

I.     BACKGROUND

       Panasonic is the world leader in in-flight entertainment and connectivity (“IFEC”)

systems and services. Panasonic operates the Ku-band PPA and MELCO terminals with the

eXConnect System as part of Panasonic’s Global Communication Suite (“GCS”) offering for

U.S. and foreign airlines to provide broadband connectivity to passengers and crew on both

short-haul domestic and long-haul international routes. In this application, Panasonic seeks to

operate its next-generation SPA terminal in the United States while communicating with certain

U.S.-licensed satellites currently authorized as satellite points of communication for the PPA

terminal under the ESAA License, and add the Telstar 12V satellite as an authorized point of

communication for the PPA terminal.

       The Panasonic ESAA blanket license was the subject of a prior commercial modification

application to add certain satellite points of communication,2 which effectively precluded the

filing of this modification application during the pendency of the prior modification application.

As a result, Panasonic requested special temporary authorization (“STA”) to operate the SPA

terminal.3 This application serves as Panasonic’s request for long-term commercial authority to

operate the SPA terminal and access Telstar 12V under the ESAA blanket license.

II.    DISCUSSION

       A.      SPA Terminal Operations

               1.      The SPA Terminal and the eXConnect System

       The SPA terminal is a single-panel variant of the dual-panel PPA terminal and utilizes the

same proven antenna and positioner technologies as the PPA. Panasonic has developed the SPA

terminal as a lighter, less-costly alternative that can be installed on smaller aircraft and that has

performance characteristics equal to or better than the PPA terminal. The SPA terminal has been

tested extensively pursuant to experimental authority granted by the Commission.4

       As set forth in the enclosed application materials, the SPA terminal transmits within the

same operational envelope as the PPA terminal and complies with the requirements set forth in

25.227 of the Commission’s rules. In particular, the SPA terminal operates in accordance with

the coordination agreements of proposed satellite points of communications, complies with the

Commission’s two-degree spacing policies, has a pointing accuracy of 0.2º and will

automatically cease transmissions if point offset is 0.5º or greater, and otherwise will comply

with the Panasonic ESAA license. Thus, grant of this modification application will not increase

the potential for interference from eXConnect System operations in the United States.

       Panasonic has fully described the eXConnect System in prior submissions and hereby

incorporates by reference the technical showing regarding the control functionality and other

operational characteristics submitted in connection with prior applications.5 The Technical

Appendix, FCC Form 312 and Schedule B contain relevant information relating to the technical

parameters, antenna performance information, satellite operator certifications, radiation hazard

analysis and general antenna specifications for the SPA terminal.6 Furthermore, Panasonic

certifies that SPA operations will be consistent with the terms, conditions and operational

parameters that are currently authorized under Panasonic’s ESAA License.

               2.        Satellite Points of Communication

       In the instant modification application, Panasonic seeks authority for the SPA terminals

to operate in the United States with the following four (4) points of communication and

downlink frequency ranges.7

                     Table 1. Satellites and Downlink Frequencies (SPA)

  Panasonic would note that because it is relying on satellite operator certifications to
demonstrate compatibility with other Ku-band operations, it need not submit the full range of
technical data required in the absence of such certifications under Section 25.227. Nonetheless,
Panasonic is submitting substantial technical detail that provides the Commission and interested
parties with a comprehensive understanding of the operational characteristics of the SPA
terminal.
7
 Panasonic SPA terminals will operate in the uplink direction within the 14.0-14.5 GHz band
and consistent with its coordination agreements with co-frequency users, the Commission’s rules
and applicable international requirements. Authority to operate the SPA terminal with other
satellites in Panasonic’s ESAA License is not sought at this time.



                                                4


          All of these proposed satellite points of communication are U.S.-licensed satellites with

technical parameters that are well known to the Commission. The operators of each satellite

identified above have reviewed the technical characteristics of Panasonic’s SPA ESAA terminal

operations and confirmed that such operations are consistent with their coordination agreements

and will not result in unacceptable interference to other satellites within +/- 6 degrees of the

subject satellite.8

                 3.      SPA Terminal Performance

          The SPA terminal fully complies with the provisions governing Ku-band AMSS

operations embodied in Recommendation ITU-R M.1643, as well as applicable FCC rules and

policies governing ESAA operations. Interference will be avoided principally by controlling off-

axis EIRP spectral density of emissions along the GSO arc to protect adjacent FSS satellites.

The fundamental operational characteristics of the eXConnect System have been approved by the

Commission in the prior application proceedings and, as noted, Panasonic’s serving satellite

operators have confirmed that the proposed operations are consistent with the coordinated

parameters of their satellites.

          In addition, the SPA terminal operates in a manner that avoids interference to other co-

frequency systems and services, and complies with the coordination agreements Panasonic has

entered into with the National Science Foundation to protect radio astronomy operations and

with NASA to protect TDRSS operations. The transmission and other principal operational

characteristics of the SPA terminal are described more fully in the attached Technical Appendix.

    See Technical Appendix, II (Operator Certification Letters).



                                                   5


       It is important to note that Panasonic’s ESAA terminals transmit on individually assigned

frequencies and time slots such that, regardless of the number of authorized terminals, only one

terminal transmits at a time (i.e., there is no aggregation). Thus, operation of the new SPA

terminal will not increase the potential for interference from ESAAs communicating with the

eXConnect System. The attached Technical Appendix provides a detailed description and test

data on the operational characteristics of the SPA terminal.

       B.      Adding Telstar 12V as Point of Communication for PPA Terminal

       Panasonic also seeks to modify its license by adding the Telstar 12V satellite as an

authorized point of communication for its previously licensed PPA terminal. The technical

characteristics of PPA terminal operations with Telstar 12V are provided in the associated FCC

Form 312 and Schedule B, and in the attached Technical Appendix. Panasonic certifies the

remaining information in support of its ESAA License, including the technical information

previously submitted for the PPA terminal, has not changed.

               1.     PPA Terminal Satellite Point of Communication

       Panasonic seeks to operate the PPA terminal with Telstar 12V (Call Sign S2933), a U.S.-

licensed satellite operated by Skynet Satellite Corporation (“Skynet”).9 A summary of PPA

operations with Telstar 12V are set for the below.10

  Panasonic PPA terminals will operate in the uplink direction within the 14.0-14.5 GHz band
and consistent with its coordination agreements with co-frequency users, the Commission’s rules
and applicable international requirements.

Although the Telstar 12V satellite is capable of providing service to large areas of Regions 1 and

2, including the United States, Panasonic notes that its seeks to access certain satellite beams

located in Region 1 only. Utilizing Telstar 12V capacity, Panasonic will provide the “very latest

in inflight Wi-Fi to carriers across the region.”11

          Telesat Canada, a company related to Skynet for Telstar 12V coordination and operation,

has reviewed the technical characteristics of Panasonic’s PPA ESAA terminal operations and

confirmed that such operations are consistent with its coordination agreements and will not result

in unacceptable interference to other satellites within +/- 6 degrees of Telstar 12V. Attached

hereto is a letter confirming that the power levels associated with Panasonic’s ESAA terminal

operations with Telstar 12V have been coordinated with operators of adjacent satellites.12

III.      GRANT OF THE REQUESTED MODIFICATION WILL SERVE THE PUBLIC
          INTEREST

          A.      SPA Terminal Public Interest Considerations

          Grant of the requested modification will serve the public interest by enabling the

introduction of the SPA terminal and provide direct benefits to U.S. consumers that will be able

to access new in-flight mobile broad applications and will further enhance U.S. leadership in in-

flight mobile broadband services. This, in turn, will enhance competition in the mobile

broadband market by enabling additional commercial aircraft equipped with the eXConnect

System to better compete with other carriers offering terrestrial-based services and with other

airlines offering satellite-based connectivity.

       Authorizing the new SPA terminal also will facilitate the introduction of this new ESAA

terminal for more regularized commercial operations. Because the terminal is lighter-weight and

lower-cost, it will strengthen the demand for in-flight connectivity services and will enhance

their prospects for long-term success.

       B.      PPA Terminal Public Interest Considerations

       Grant of this modification to add the Telstar 12V as an authorized point of

communication for the PPA terminal on U.S.-registered aircraft will serve the public interest by

extending the coverage and increasing the capacity of the global eXConnect network for U.S. airlines

and their passengers. Telstar 12V will provide additional bandwidth for the eXConnect System and

ensure that Panasonic has sufficient bandwidth to meet increasing demand and enhance the in-

flight user experience within the relevant service area of the satellite.

IV.    CONCLUSION

       Based on the foregoing, Panasonic respectfully request that the Commission grant its

request to modify its existing ESAA blanket license, Call Sign E100089, by adding the SPA

terminal for ESAA operations in the United States and adding the Telstar 12V satellite as an

authorized point of communication for the PPA terminal.
