The HySky System Has a Unique Commercial HF License • On July 10, 1997, the FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau ("the Bureau") and the Office of Engineering and Technology granted a request for waiver of the Commission's Rules and concurrently the Bureau conditionally granted a five-year authorization to HySky’s predecessor and granted the right to construct and operate, on a secondary basis, a nationwide, commercial, two-way short-data messaging system in the high frequency ("HF") range of the electromagnetic spectrum, subject to certain technical and operational limitations. • On July 20, 2002, the license was updated and reissued with all military restrictions lifted. HySky Proprietary Information
Patented Techniques Make HySky a Success • HySky uses 954 uncongested HF channels • A Network Operations Center scans the entire HF band every 5 seconds to determine which channels are unoccupied and optimal to transmit data over • The System knows what frequencies are propagating • A Propagation Evaluation Network of sounders & sophisticated algorithms evaluates the network and optimizes data traffic for 99.99% throughput. • HySky’s sophisticated waveform & modem technology overcomes multi-path effects • HySky adapts a military HF waveform and proprietary modem technology to ensure the highest level of service • HySky uses time & frequency diversity to ensure message delivery • If a message is not received on the 1st try, the message is repeated at a different frequency to guarantee delivery; the system then generates a message acknowledgment.

US Top Alarm service companies – 2G Cellular problemsforthcoming “2G Sunset,” • This year (2013) the transition to 3G will no longer be a matter of choice. That’s because carriers are already migrating their product lines to 3G. • A major cellular carrier in the U.S. recently stopped certifying 2G-only products of any kind and remaining carriers are sure to follow suit. • Before 2015 over 5 million 2G cell mods (resulting in 5 million truck-rolls) used in the security industry will be changed due to obsolesce of the technology ADT will change over 1 million Vivint will change over 700,000 HySky Proprietary Information
US Top Alarm service companies – 2G Cellular problemsforthcoming “2G Sunset,” In the U.S., the lower frequency band (2G) is at 850 MHz and the higher band is at 1900 MHz. (3G). Most cellular devices installed inside homes and businesses rely on the deep penetrating 850 MHz band to connect to neighboring cell towers. After December 31, 2016, when the 2G Sunset is complete, it will be just like the Analog Sunset. Anything using 2G will stop working overnight. Only 3G/4G will work from that day forward HySky Proprietary Information
