TerreStar Antenna Feasibility Study

This Statement of Work #      (“SOW”) is made this      day of November 2008 by and between Elektrobit Inc. (“Elektrobit” or “EB”) and TerreStar Networks Inc. (“TerreStar” or “TSN”) for the development of 15 EB reference phones with the integrated [***] antenna., and is governed by the Master Development and Licensing Agreement dated August, 2007 (“Agreement”)

 

1 Introduction

This SOW defines the scope of technical work to be performed by EB for the development of [***] EB reference phones, and integration of those phones with antennas developed by [***] Ltd. (“[***]”).

 

2 Project Overview

The main objective of this work is to successfully integrate this [***] antenna into EB and TSN’s reference design handset and perform antenna testing. The secondary objective is to support [***] transmit and receive antenna design, development and validation work for TSN’s S-band to provide satellite usage performance that meets or exceeds specified objectives. The final objective of this work is to document antenna and handset level guidance for design and implementation for industrialization into a wide variety of products.

 

3 Period of Performance

It is expected that this work will extend for a period of approximately [***] months. Officially starting on or around [***] and targeted to be completed on or around [***]. There will be break on work, while waiting for [***] phone.

 

4 Schedule

High Level Project Schedule:

This development and delivery schedule for this work will be reviewed and mutually agreed. A high level overview of the schedule is below.
