  1. 3GPP2: Skyterra Overview March 30, 2009

  2. Mississippi State Health Department Title Slide Option 1 Skyterra’s HistoryPaving the way for NextGen Hybrid Services Satellite Communication Services Network Development and Deployment Hybrid Technology Development 2008+ 1997-2001 2002-2007 • 10+ years in Satellite Communications • Wholesale provider – 300K subs • Emergency services, enterprise critical applications • History of innovation • Push to talk, talk groups, satellite/cellular mobile data integration • Innovation phase • Applied for 100+ patents related to consumer optimized hybrid services • Even competitors leverage MSV’s patents • Access to 46 MHz spectrum • Largest unused spectrum block for terrestrial mobile broadband wireless services in North America • Enabling NextGen communication technologies combined with satellite services horsepower SkyTerra

  3. Overview of SkyTerra Spectrum Technology and Operational Momentum Next Generation Business Plan • 13+ Yr Operating History • - $37M annual revenue • - 300k units in service • Attractive product and service portfolio • Compelling Technology and Patent Portfolio • Advanced NextGen Satellite Program • Advanced OSS / BSS • Landmark technology agreement w/Qualcomm • Differentiated All-IP, Open Platform • High Through-put Content/Media • Carrier’s Carrier Model • Scalable Capital Plan • Value Realization: • - MSS Business Plan • - MSS/ATC • - SKYT/ISAT transaction • - Sale of Company • 34 MHz national spectrum asset, US and Canada • 1.5-1.6 GHz radio propagation • Attractive regulatory environment • Cooperation Agreement w/ ISAT • Upcoming spectrum coordination w/ Mexico SkyTerra

  4. Next Generation Overview Satellite • Two powerful mobile satellites(replacing existing satellites that are in orbit) • Coverage, coverage, coverage • Uses standard form wireless devices –“Transparency” • Supports high value customer verticals (Public Safety, Telematics, Fleet) Terrestrial • Advanced air interface supports all-IP network • High power, high capacity for urban/suburban coverage • Flexible systems platform • Capital efficiency, disciplined growth Communicates with “Transparent” Devices All-IP, Broadband Wireless Network Wholesale Model Scalable Capital Plan SkyTerra

  5. SkyTerra Next-Gen satellites will use massive antennas, higher power, and integrate with terrestrial network… …so devices can operate with small antennas at near-cellular power levels; enabling compact, consumer-attractive devices on the same platform Current satellites are small, low-power, and do not integrate well with terrestrial networks… …so devices require bulky antennas and amplifiers; they cannot replace or compete with regular cell-phones Technology Review – Skyterra Innovation / SkyTerra

  6. SkyTerra’s Next Generation System • Enormous, high-power satellite • 22 Meter (75ft) antenna • Dynamic spectrum allocation • Small, elegant handsets • Limited modifications to integrate with your existing network: • L-Band RF capabilities • Satellite air interface integration Where’s the Antenna? SkyTerra

  7. Backup NOC Primary NOC Technology Review - Cellular with a Satellite Differentiation • Terrestrial Network Integration • Cellular networks integrated with satellite network to provide convenience and coverage • Skyterra technology makes this possible Satellite Network integrated with terrestrial technology KU-Band Feeder Links Terrestrial Network Hybrid devices roam between networks MSO PSTN / SkyTerra

  8. 3GPP2 L-Band Channelization Plan for ATC • Skyterra intends to deploy an HRPD/eHRPD terrestrial network using ATC L-Band spectrum (i.e. 34 MHz) • Skyterra incorporates a 50 kHz raster (i.e. channel center frequency separation): • The channelization plan requires two 0.625 MHz guard-bands (at either ends of the uplink and downlink spectrum) resulting in 657 usable channels. • The starting and ending frequencies for the Access Terminal and the Access Network will be outlined in a 3GPP2 work-item requesting ATC L-Band be added to the C.S0057-D 3GPP2 Band Class specification.

  11. Skyterra 1 Skyterra 2 Skyterra Next Generation Architecture: Hybrid Mobility 4G Terrestrial Network & NextGen Satellite Platform Delivered to mobile and fixed handsets Skyterra Satellite Roaming Where there is no terrestrial coverage; satellite-only applies Content distribution on satellite or terrestrial All IP- 4G Terrestrial Network SkyTerra Content Delivery & Media Storage 11

  12. Best Used for PC or Screen Viewing April 25, 2008 Next Generation Powerful New Satellites Small Hybrid Handsets • All IP Network • Push to Talk • Telephony • Broadband Data SkyTerra

  13. Two Satellites • Dual satellite system provides superior link margin • Provides full redundancy • Enough capacity to support millions of subscribers SkyTerra

  14. Wireless Evolution Along with the industry, SkyTerra will compete in the next explosive growth phase of cellular… • Mobile Data Growth • More availability of mobile content coupled with devices better designed to drive greater Internet and data access • Future networks will be “Fat Pipes” built on all-IP 4G standards • Smarter Phones • Along with software driving device value, key differentiators in the device and network will drive adoption, stickiness and ARPU growth SkyTerra’s Next Gen network will enable broadband, mobile communications on mass market wireless devices with the critical differentiator afforded by a powerful satellite system SkyTerra

  15. Potential Markets • Existing Subscribers • High End Consumers • Safety-conscious users seeking always-available communications • Outdoor and other enthusiasts requiring extended communications reach • Enterprise • Government Users • SkyTerra’s unique capabilities offer almost unlimited access into Government markets • Telematics • Adding efficient satellite communications significantly extends feature set and consumer benefit SkyTerra

  16. Patents and Awards • SkyTerra holds some 80 U.S. and approximately 100 international patents in many aspects of our next-generation satellite-terrestrial network • SkyTerra continues to play an advanced leadership role in the ATC sector • We have 90 U.S. and 230 international patent applications pending • SkyTerra announced in January that it received the 2009 North American Space Communications Technology Innovation of the Year Award from Frost and Sullivan • This prestigious award is part of the Frost and Sullivan Best Practices Award Program • The award recognizes SkyTerra’s pioneering efforts in developing our innovative, integrated satellite-terrestrial network that could dramatically improve the utility of wireless communications worldwide SkyTerra
