Section 1. Appendment of New Statement of Work to the Agreement. The following Statement of Work shall be appended to and become part of the Agreement:

STATEMENT OF WORK

 

1 Project Objective:

Qualcomm shall design and develop certain software for dual aircard-1 directional antenna testing. [***] for existing Aircard-1 and is used with Gogo’s Air-to-Ground Broadband System (ABS) BigSky first generation system.


Such software shall have the following key characteristics:

 

  A. This version of Aircard software is intended to provide limited new functionalities of the Aircard. Regression testing will be limited to the features added in this release.

 

  B. Only the features listed in this Statement of Work are guaranteed to be functional.

 

  C. The software supports ABS for 8 directional antenna ports on aircraft ( 4 ports are hi-POE (fwd, right, aft, left) and 4 ports are V-POL (fwd, right, aft, left),

 

  D. [***]

 

  E. [***]

 

  F. The software shall not be responsible for any and all higher level Mux’ing and de-Mux’ing, bandwidth estimation and flow control mid it shall be handled by the AT G,

As part of Feature F above, Qualcomm shall perform the following tasks:

 

  1. Aircard Software Tasks

 

  a. Qualcomm shall mod Iv Aircard software to support 4 ports on one polarization (H or V)

 

  b. Qualcomm shall provide Non-Volatile (NV) support for user to configure the polarization used by the Aircard (H or V)

 

  c. Qualcomm shall modify Aircard software to provide dual transmit on the RFO and RFI ports for soft handoff on the same polarization.

 

  2. Aircard I&T and Support

 

  a. Qualcomm shall perform lab testing of this feature in existing handoff tester setup.

 

2


  b. Qualcomm shall support Gogo in-flight testing this feature.

 

  c. Qualcomm shall provide fixes mid patch releases to Gogo for issues identified during Gogo lab testing and Gogo flight testing on Goat) test aircraft.

 

2 Release Schedule

The software described in Section 1 shall be released to Gogo three (3) months after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date.

 

3 Acceptance

Gogo and Qualcomm shall have thirty (30) days to complete the testing, bug fixes and acceptance and of the initial software release,
