Signature Server) for uplink to the satellite.
Provides Fiat-Shamir
public key proof of
authenticity to the SIM.
6 Entitlements (EMMs) addressed
customer’s unique SIM card are
broadcast on every satellite
transponder. The EMMs identify
which programming the
subscriber is entitled to watch.
7 Receiver gets the EMMs and the SIM
ignores all packets not uniquely addressed
to it. It stores entitlements (programming
rights) defined for the user.

Installer enters user ID and PIN
(received upon passing online
certification test), then enters
the STB ID, SIM Card ID,
The subscriber system has now been
activated over the air minutes after
installation is complete!

Competitive advantage: The Technology
Our industry-changing Ku-band micro-antennas
• Traditional Direct-to-Home satellite antennas: useless in mobile environment
• Existing vehicle antennas: too large (36”, ~50 lbs.), expensive ($3,000 to $4,000 installed)
Solution: MMIC chips (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits)
Results: the T7 Micro-Antenna
Small form factor - horizontal design, 4” high x 9” diameter
Low manufacturing costs
Signal reception across the continental United States
Virtually unlimited bandwidth capabilities for new content
…and, the OEM T9 Micro-Antenna
Same high quality video reception and nationwide coverage
Only 0.5” high x 7.5” length, can fit inside rooftops and spoilers
Current R&D targeting manufacturing cost reductions

Competitive advantage: The Technology (cont’d)
Our in-vehicle receiver (the “set-top box”) brings the living room experience to the car
• Full program guide, RF remote in the car: the most comfortable mobile environment
• Compact 8” x 6” form factor fits easily in trunk or under a seat
Patent-pending interleaving transmission protocol and buffer in the receiver allows service continuity (2 mins.) when the antenna loses line-of-sight with the satellite

Satellite TV On Wheels: Ku versus Ka
• Ku band advantages: • Continent coverage
• Single teleport
• Lower rain fade (broadcast – ACM does not work)
• BUT: 2 TV channels for 47 dbW transponders (25 cm antenna)
• Ka band advantages • Regional, country by country coverage (focused service)
• Local channels (per country or big city)
• Rev share model for an operator
• Stronger EIRP = smaller antennas
• For 10% of the capacity, 25cm antenna, an operator can have 20-30 multiplexed SD channels
• In the future - Single antenna for Broadband and TV

Satellite Radio – Satellite provider view
• Aftermarket and later OEM
• 1 Mbps = 30-40 radio channels
• €100 for the equipment, €5 a month
• As alternative, €199 for the product and 2 years of service
• IF we could reach a market size of 1M in a country like France or
Germany – and the satellite operator gets 10%, potential of getting
€20M for 2 years out of 10% of 8 beams. Lucrative.

#4 : Mobile Broadband Motivation
• Full broadband coverage, in motion: Cellular and satellite
(when no adequate cell coverage)
• Single bill from, say, T-mobile or sprint: $10/GB (Current price)
• Safety and security (OnStar coverage issue)
• Possible bundle with mobile TV
• Vertical markets: RV, Boats, Limo, trucks
• Next generation: Consumer offering (3-5 years)
• Requires low cost COTM antenna integrated with BUC and Modem
with satellite/cellular operation
