Table 4. Equipment Class and Subclass Identification EQUIPMENT CLASS IDENTIFIER DESCRIPTION AES Class 15 Aircraft Earth Station A 15 transceiver is defined as a transceiver unit capable of operating within an AES15 system, which uses a LGA. It includes the Indoor Unit and Antenna B. Honeywell SwiftBroadband System Overview
(1) The SATCOM Avionics Suite consists of a L-Band SATCOM system. The SATCOM system identified will operate on the Inmarsat network.
(2) Inmarsat supports the SwiftBroadband aeronautical service, also known as BGAN, which is supported through Inmarsat-4 satellites. Services offered in a given Ocean Region will operate from a single Inmarsat satellite at any one time.
(3) The Inmarsat L-Band SwiftBroadband Satellite Communications Network consists of:
Honeywell International Inc. Do not copy without express permission of Honeywell. Page 5 18 Feb 2021 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION, INSTALLATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL SMALL SATCOM Aircraft Earth Stations (AESs). Space segment formed by three Inmarsat-4 and an Inmarsat-4A geostationary satellites that provides global coverage, except for the polar regions. This will be supplemented by Inmarsat-6 satellites, which are scheduled for launch in 2020. A terrestrial ground infrastructure formed by the Satellite Access Stations (SASs). Terrestrial interconnect networks. Network Control Centre and a Business Support System.
(4) The user links are in L-band 1518-1559 MHz for satellite to AES, 1626.5-1660.5 MHz and 1668-1675 MHz for AES to satellite. C. Expected Data Rate
(1) The data rate through the Small Satcom terminal is dependent upon many factors such as size of ground plane, network congestion, satellite selection, multipath fading, satellite elevation, UAV banking etc. In general, the satellite with the highest elevation will work best and severe banking away from the satellite should be avoided.
(2) Forward refers to data being passed from the ground and return refers to data being passed from the UAV as seen in Figure 2. Honeywell International Inc. Do not copy without express permission of Honeywell. Page 6 18 Feb 2021 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION, INSTALLATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL SMALL SATCOM Figure 2. (Sheet 1 of 1) Forward and Return to UAV Honeywell International Inc. Do not copy without express permission of Honeywell. Page 7 18 Feb 2021 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION, INSTALLATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL SMALL SATCOM
(3) The following charts provide an indication of how maximum data rates can be affected by banking towards the satellite (positive) or away from the satellite (negative), depending on satellite elevation, when T4.5 bearers are being used. Satellite elevation can be obtained via the webUI or by using a satellite pointer app. Refer to Figure 3 for effect of banking on data rate and Figure 4 for elevation. In Figure 3, if the signal is synced, the connection is maintained. If it is below the threshold, the connection will be lost. Honeywell International Inc.

Prior to Installation
(1) Upon receipt of the terminal, the components should be confirmed present against the enclosed parts list and inspected for any damage.
(2) The UAV satcom systems environmental parameters should be reviewed to ensure that the intended usage is within its envelope.
(3) An acceptable antenna mounting point should be identified and any UAV specific mounting parts procured or fabricated.
(4) A weight distribution analysis should be performed to demonstrate safe operation of the UAV subject to the mounting constraints outlined in the following sections.
(5) An electrical load analysis should be performed to ensure that the UAV can safely carry the additional electrical load. This is a maximum of 65 W.
(6) The terminal should be powered from a fused distribution board with voltage of 28V DC (27 to 30V DC). The fuse protecting the terminal supply circuit should be a 4A Fast Acting type, with a minimum interruption rating of 1000A. A recommended model is Littelfuse 0297004.WXNV which can be used in conjunction with the associated in-line holder Littelfuse 0FHM0001ZXJ.
(7) There should be a power isolation switch that can be operated without approaching within 3.517 ft (1.07 m) of the antenna.
(8) Safety precautions should be observed during installation and UAV maintenance.
(9) Integration with the avionic systems should be such that failure of terminals function should have no effect on the UAVs operational capability, safety or flying operators workload.
(1) The safety distance between operator and antenna is 3.517 ft (1.07 m).
(2) The antenna should be mounted so that it is in a horizontal plane when the UAV is flying straight and level. Refer to Figure 5 for antenna dimensions.
(3) The antenna should be positioned on the upper surface of the fuselage, near the centre-line of the UAV so that it has an unobstructed view of elevations above 5 for all azimuths. The connective performance for elevations below 20 will be degraded.
(4) The antenna should not adversely affect the control surfaces of the UAV.
(5) Separation resulting in greater than 42 dB isolation should be provided between the antenna and any other GPS antennas on the UAV at 1559 to 1605 MHz and 1626.5 to 1675.0 MHz
(Satcom band), 32 inch is typically required. If GLONASS is being used, the separation between the antenna and the GLONASS antenna should be sufficient to provide 50 dB isolation between them at 1559 to 1610 MHz and 1626.5 to 1675.0 MHz (Satcom band), 83 inch is typically required.
(6) GNSS antennas on the UAV should be compliant on DO-229D or later. 2. Mechanical Installation A. Antenna Mounting Honeywell International Inc. Do not copy without express permission of Honeywell. Page 11 18 Feb 2021 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION, INSTALLATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL SMALL SATCOM
(7) The antenna mounting should be capable of dissipating at least 60W of heat from the antenna when in use. The heat load is primarily through the bottom metal surface of the antenna. Ensure that the mounting either conducts the heat away from the antenna or that there is sufficient airflow over the bottom of the antenna to take the heat out.
(8) The antenna should be mounted on, and electrically bonded to, a ground plane. The ground plane affects the antenna gain pattern. The larger the ground plane is the more reliable the satellite signal will be, particularly for lower satellite elevations. The minimum ground plane size should be 18cm in width by 30cm in length. The ground plane should be a conductive surface, level with the bottom surface of the antenna. The ground plane should have a resistivity of 6/cm or better. Where the ground plane leaves the plane of the bottom of the antenna, for example following the curve of a fuselage, its efficiency will drop.
(9) The antenna has a provision for mounting on the top surface of a UAV fuselage The hole for the RF connector should be 0.63 in. (16 mm) diameter.
(10) The O-ring for sealing the fuselage against water ingress should be fitted on the antenna.
(11) On metal skinned UAVs the thermal and ground plane requirements may be met if the antenna is thermally and electrically bonded to the surface of the aircraft. If the surface requires preparation to achieve electrical bond, refer to SAE AR 1870 Section 5. The electrical bond between the antenna and local structure must be less than or equal to 3 milliohm direct current (DC) resistance. Compliance should be verified using a calibrated milliohm meter. Any paint removed from the UAV skin to meet the bonding requirement should have a corrosion resistance protective coating applied that meets MIL-DTL-5541 TY II CL3 or MIL-C-5541 CL3, commonly known as Alodine. A doubler plate fabricated by the installer is normally used.
(12) On composite UAVs, additional structure may need to be added to meet the antenna thermal and ground plane requirements. The electrical bond between the antenna and ground plane must be less than or equal to 3 milliohm direct current (DC) resistance. Compliance should be verified using a calibrated milliohm meter. 2000 series aluminium or copper is recommended to meet the ground plane conductivity requirements. Normally, carbon fibre structures have too high a thermal and electrical resistance to meet the thermal and ground plane requirements.
(13) The antenna should be secured to the airframe using the 4 mounting screws supplied
(MS24693-C279: 10-32 UNF-2A X 1.50 long cross recessed flat head 100, SST). Honeywell International Inc. Do not copy without express permission of Honeywell. Page 12 18 Feb 2021 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION, INSTALLATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL SMALL SATCOM The antenna mounting screws should be torqued to 2.37 to 2.60 N.m (21.0 to 23.0 in-lbs). If sealing of the antenna holes is needed, then RTV is recommended to be applied around the edge of each hole between both the UAV skin and ground plane and the ground plane and antenna. Ensure that the antenna remains in electrical contact with the ground plane. Honeywell International Inc. Do not copy without express permission of Honeywell.

(4) It enables the setting up of 8 kbps, 16 kbps and 32 kbps streaming connections.
(5) HTTP runs over Transport Layer Security (TLS), i.e., HTTPS, providing communication security over the Internet. The usage of TLS requires that the client must support an X.509 certificate to communicate with the terminal web server. The web server uses the standard port number assigned to TLS connection: 443. The terminal will use the default self-assigned HTTPS certificate stored in the terminals non-volatile memory. The default certificate has a validity period of 10 years. The terminal will be configured with a user account with an initial password (that can be changed by the user) that is unique for each terminal. The initial username and password will be communicated by the label on the indoor unit. To restore the username and password to its initial values:
Log into the reset account and select the option in the WebUI or by sending the appropriate Connect using PPPoE with the following parameters:
RESTful message. C. PPPoE Username: void Password: <blank>
Service Name - @Background. D. RESTful
(1) RESTful/JSON interface is the primary machine to machine command interface.
(2) The communication protocol for RESTful is HTTP/HTTPS.
(3) Websocket interface handles asynchronous messages from the terminal. There are 3 types of web sockets messages. Responses to network commands. Periodic information updates. Unsolicited/Alerts messages.
(4) Example python scripts for controlling the terminal via the RESTful interface are available for download via the terminal's web page. The Key resources available via the RESTful interface are:

(1) A common use of Satcom is to allow equipment based on the ground to interrogate equipment on the UAV, for example to pull position data from the flight controller, refer to Figure 11. One way of achieving this is to create a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from the UAV to the ground equipment. Some advantages of this approach are:
When set up correctly, the VPN can appear as a transparent wire allowing seamless connections between the ground and air. If the VPN client is setup on the air side, the Satcom terminal does not need a static IP address, Dynamic DNS or similar. The VPN provides end-to-end encryption under your control. The air side router can be configured to automatically establish the Satcom connection on power up. Depending on the choice of router, it can remove the need for a separate Ethernet switch.

HONEYWELL AEROSPACE SERVICES AND CONNECTIVITY 400 Maple Grove Road Ottawa, K2V 1B8, Ontario www.honeywell.com Re: EMS Technologies Canada, Ltd. Applicability and Conditions for Waiver of Part 87 Rules to Allow Equipment Certification of Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Service Transceiver (Small UAV SATCOM, Pending FCC ID K6KSMALLSATCOM) Dear Mr. Tobias:
On the 20th November 2020, EMS Technologies Canada, Ltd. (EMS) a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., pursuant to section 1.925 of the Commissions rules, requested a waiver of Sections 87.131, 87.133, 87.137, 87.139(i)(1) and 87.141(j) of the Commissions rules to permit certification of its next generation Aeronautical-Mobile Satellite Service (AMSS) transceiver, Small UAV SATCOM. The transceiver supports the SwiftBroadband aircraft communications service for use with, but not solely confined to, unmanned aircraft e.g. drones, UAVs. On the 7th May 2021, EMS received confirmation that the waiver request was accordingly GRANTED and sections 87.131, 87.133, 87.137, 87.139(i)(1) and 87.141(j) of the Commissions rules are WAIVED as requested. No additional conditions were stated, and EMS considers the waiver valid for the duration of the product lifetime of the transceiver with the FCC ID K6KSMALLSATCOM. The waiver is applicable to this product as it permits the certification of the companys transceivers to support the Inmarsat SwiftBroadband aircraft communications services. Current Part 87 rules do not allow for the wider bandwidth, higher transmission speeds and more efficient modulation techniques of newer AMSS systems. The Small SATCOM transceiver has been tested and found to meet the technical requirements of Part 87 AMSS rules with respect to output power, spurious emissions and intermodulation. With the grant of the above waiver, the conditions of both Part 87 of the Commissions Rules and the granted waiver will be met for the duration of the product lifetime of the Small UAV SATCOM transceiver.

HONEYWELLCONNECTEDENTERPRISE SATCOM 400MapleGroveRoad Ottawa,K2V1B8,Ontario www.honeywell.com Nov 24th, 2020 Mr. Roger Noel, Chief, Mobility Division Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, Federal Communication Commission 445 12th St SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: WAVIER EXPEDITED ACTION REQUESTED EMS Technologies Canada, Ltd. Request for Waiver of Part 87 Rules to Allow Equipment Certification of Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Service Transceiver (Small UAV SATCOM, Pending FCC ID K6KSMALLSATCOM) Dear Mr. Noel:
EMS Technologies Canada, Ltd. (EMS) a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., pursuant to section 1.925 of the Commissions rules, hereby requests waiver of Sections 87.131, 87.133, 87.137, 87.139(i)(1) and 87.141(j) of the Commissions rules to permit certification of its next generation Aeronautical-Mobile Satellite Service (AMSS) transceiver, Small UAV SATCOM. The transceiver supports the SwiftBroadband aircraft communications service for use with, but not solely confined to, unmanned aircraft e.g. drones, UAVs. Under Section 1.925, the FCC may grant a waiver if [t]he underlying purpose of the rule(s) would not be served or would be frustrated by application to the instant case, and that a grant of the waiver would be in the public interest or; [i]n view of unique or unusual factual circumstances of the instant case, application of the rule(s) would be inequitable, unduly burdensome or contrary to the public interest, or the applicant has no reasonable alternative.1 Similar waivers of Part 87 rules have been granted to EMS, Honeywell International, Inc, and Rockwell Collins Inc.2 Such equipment is intended for use on aircraft to provide high-speed Internet, voice and video conferencing capabilities in the cockpit, in the cabin and at the gate. A similar waiver of Part 87 rules has also been granted to Omnipless Manufacturing (PTY) Ltd. for UAV applications.3 These waivers have found that the waiver would be in the public interest because current Part 87 rules do not allow for the wider bandwidth, higher transmission speeds and more efficient modulation techniques of newer AMSS systems.4 A grant here would provide the same public interest benefits and allow EMSs next generation transceiver to deliver high-speed data in support of UAV applications. 1 47 C.F.R 1.925(b)(3) 2 See EMS equipment authorization for FCC ID K6KHSD-440, FCC ID K6KA781-MK4 Honeywell International Inc, equipment authorization for FCC ID G8BHD-128, and Rockwell Collins Inc equipment authorization for FCC ID AJK8222232 and AJK8222234. 3 See Omnipless Manufacturing (Pty) Ltd. authorization for FCC ID 2AS39-AVIATORUAV200 4 See Request of EMS for Waiver of Part 87 Emission Mask to Allow Certification and Use of Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Service Transceiver, 26 FCC Rcd 8824 (WTB 2011). Honeywell Confidential Description of the equipment The Small SATCOM transceiver supports Inmarsat SwiftBroadband signals using QPSK as well as 16-point Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16-QAM). The Small SATCOM transceiver provides one communication channel capable of supporting full-duplex SwiftBroadband non-voice data functionality. The System functions in the 1525- 1559 MHz receive band and transmit bands of 1626.5-1660.5 and 1668-1675 MHz. The transmit band of 1668-1675 MHz is not supported in the USA or Canada. The Small SATCOM transceiver will meet the technical requirement of Part 87 AMSS rules with respect to output power, spurious emissions and intermodulation. As the FCC has acknowledged, Inmarsat's SwiftBroadband service offers higher data rates by utilizing more efficient modulation techniques.5 Grant of the instant waiver request would serve the public interest because the Part 87 rules have not yet been updated to reflect the Inmarsat SwiftBroadband emission types and bandwidths. Requested Waivers Part 87 87.131 Authorized Emissions Section 87.131 authorizes G1D, G1E and G1W for aircraft earth stations. The SwiftBroadband services, use 16 Point Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16-QAM) and QPSK modulation schemes, with emission types G1W and D1W. Therefore, EMS requests a waiver of the authorized emissions in section 87.131 of the Commission's rules to employ D1W in addition to the G1W emission authorized under Section 87.131. 87.133 Frequency Stability Pursuant to Section 87.133(a), the frequency tolerance of an aircraft earth station operating in the 1626.5-
1660.5 MHz band is +/- 320 Hz. For purposes of bench testing for certification, a tolerance of +/- 160 Hz applies to the reference oscillator of the transmitter. The EMS transceiver contains a on board reference oscillator with an accuracy that has been shown in testing to have a worst-case error of 845Hz. Therefore, EMS requests a waiver of Section 87.133(a) of the Commissions rules for this reason. 87.137 Types of Emissions Section 87.137(a) of the Commissions rules authorizes for aircraft earth stations emissions designator 21K0G1D and the authorized bandwidth for aircraft earth station emissions above 50 MHz is 25 kHz. Lower values of necessary and authorized bandwidths are also permitted. SwiftBroadband service utilizes QPSK, and 16-QAM modulation schemes, with emissions class G1W and D1W. Due to the increased symbol rates for QPSK, 16-QAM a larger authorized bandwidth is necessary. An adequate bandwidth for SwiftBroadband is 225 kHz. Therefore, EMS seeks waiver of Section 87.137(a) of the Commissions rules to authorize the following emissions designators for the Small SATCOM transceiver:
Emissions Designator Modulation Type Necessary Bandwidth Authorized Bandwidth 25K0G1W 50K0G1W QPSK QPSK
(kHz) 25.0 50.0
(kHz) 225 225 5 EMS Stamp Grant, at 2 Honeywell Confidential 100KG1W 200KG1W 50K0D1W 100KD1W 200KD1W QPSK QPSK 16 QAM 16 QAM 16 QAM 100 200 50.0 100 200 225 225 225 225 225 87.139(i)(1), note 2 Emission Limitations Section 87.139(i)(1) of the Commissions rules provides the required attenuation for a modulated carrier and note 2 provides an absolute offset of +/-35 kHz. Under the required designs for the SwiftBroadband modulation techniques, 99 percent of the occupied bandwidth exceeds the +/-35 kHz offset in many cases. In short, the SwiftBroadband modulation schemes make meeting the offset impossible. Therefore, EMS requests waiver of Section 87.139(i)(1) note 2 to permit an absolute offset of +/-504 kHz due to the maximum SwiftBroadband symbol rate of 151.2 kSym/s. 87.141(j) Modulation Requirements Section 87.141(j) of the Commissions rules requires transmitters used as aircraft earth stations to employ BPSK for transmission rates up to and including 2400 bps, and QPSK for higher rates. Due to the requirements of the SwiftBroadband, the Small SATCOM transceiver uses an additional modulation scheme that does not meet this requirement, 16-QAM. EMS therefore requests waiver of Section 87.141(j) of the Commissions rules to permit the use of 16-QAM. EMS requests that the Commission waive the requirements of Part 87 described above to permit certification of its Inmarsat AMSS transceivers. The Commission has granted similar waivers to EMS, Rockwell Collins, Honeywell and others so that aircraft passengers and crew can receive high speed voice and data communications. In addition, a waiver has been granted to Omnipless for UAV applications. Such waiver will not cause harmful interference to other services and is in the public interest. EMS further requests expedited treatment of the instant waiver request. Conclusion Sincerely, Dennis Teske, Sr. Director Engineering Honeywell Confidential
