ViaSat Proprietary Document No.: 1194238, Rev 001 18 June 2014 1 ViaSat Proprietary PR000190 Rev. 004 1 SCOPE This product definition document defines essential characteristics and functionality of the ViaSat AT2220 Terminal. 2 REFERENCE DOCUMENTS Table 1: Reference Documents Document Number Document Title Revision Date 1178156 ViaSat Mobile Satellite Services Overview and Description 002 4/12/2013 3 TERMINAL OVERVIEW AND OPERATIONAL CONCEPT The ViaSat AT2220 Terminal enables reliable and instant IP-based communications via satellite for rotor and fixed-wing aircraft. Powered by ViaSat L-band Managed Service (VMS), this satcom terminal’s two-way networking capability enables both real-time monitoring of position location information using built in GPS receiver, and data and voice communications. FIPS-certified data link layer encryption is employed to ensure the integrity of user data is protected. The terminal features easy-to-use interfaces and provides flexibility to configure to nearly any sensor system or IP data application. Examples of operational scenarios that the AT2220 Terminal supports range from fleet management, emergency first responders, homeland security forces, disaster aid workers, corresponders, mobile workforce management and tracking of high-valued assets. This is all within an integrated single assembly package that is optimized for airborne data transmission. A single cable provides DC power and Ethernet for wired connections to an IP device, eliminating the need of RF cable typically required for connection between modem and antenna. The transceiver also supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless connections to multiple tablets or smartphones. The AT2220 Terminal is powered by ViaSat advanced waveform that allows for a low latency and highest capacity of users to operate on a single L-band channel. A rendering of the AT2220 Terminal is shown in the Figure 1. Terminal size, weight and characteristics are provided in Section Error! Reference source not found.. Figure 1: AT2220 Mobile Terminal
ViaSat Proprietary Document No.: 1194238, Rev 001 18 June 2014 2 ViaSat Proprietary PR000190 Rev. 004 The AT2220 terminal is designed to be flexibile in application, incorporating features and functions that are important in M2M mobile applications. In particular, the terminal is tailored to provide the followings:  Ruggedized design to handle harsh environments  Integral antenna & modem in a single low profile unit  Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluethooth interface options  Two-way send/receive connectivity  Low latency for instant message transfer and real time monitoring  Push To Talk (PTT) voice  Low service cost with a bandwidth efficient waveform  Optional dual receiver capability (can receive two forward links simultaneously) Figure 2 illustrates the concept of operation. End-users operating on mobile or fixed platforms access satellite service through the AT2220 terminals and assigned satellite channel. A ViaSat hub accesses a satellite provider’s RF feeder link to provide satellite service to the end-users and connectivity to the AT2220 transceivers in a hub-spoke topology. A terrestrial VPN link connects the ViaSat Network Operation Center (NOC) to the hub for network management and control through a commercial router.
