Skybridge Spectrum Foundation & Telesaurus LLCs - Sky-Tel - Berkeley California USA

December 2009

This following Intuicom product brochure is noted in margin notes and republished by
Skybridge Spectrum Foundation and Telesaurus LLCs (Sky-Tel) (Berkeley, California) (Sky-
Tel).

Sky-Tel holds 200 and 900 MHz FCC licenses (CMRS and PMRS) nationwide in the US for
C-HALO (Cooperative High Accuracy Location) and tightly integrated communications for
Smart Transport, Energy, and Environment Radio (STEER) systems, with no-charge core
services for highway safety and flow, better energy systems, and environmental monitoring
and protection.

Sky-Tel C-HALO will use GPS-GNSS with N-RTK (and eventually also multilateration
pseudolites, INS, and other mobile location techniques).

The following Intuicom product (by Freewave) is an example of a Phase-1 of G1 product for
use in Sky-Tel C-HALO:

Under FCC rules Sky-Tel under its M-LMS 900 MHz licenses can use Part-90 power up
to 30W ERP in PMRS M-LMS type-approved equipment, and can also use “unlicensed”
equipment certified under Part 15 that operates in 902-928 MHz, both in its M-LMS subbands
(904-909.75 MHz and 927.75-928 MHz) with no height restriction, and in the rest of 902-928
MHz on a Part-15 basis and under the “safe harbor” in FCC rule sec. 90.361.

Thus, in existing radios such as this one from Intuicom (other vendors make somewhat
similar radios), Sky-Tel may

(1) use it as-is for a 1G radio for C-HALO: it comes with (a) 2-band unlicensed-band
functionality: 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz, and (b) licensed-band CDMA/GSM functionality, or

(2) use it with ‘a’ but swap out the ‘b’ for (c): a similar-power or higher-power PMRS
licensed radio operating in its M-LMS subbands, or

(3) use it with ‘a’ and ‘b’ and add ‘c’.
