1 Licensed 700 MHz Spectrum for UAS and Critical Infrastructure Access Spectrum, LLC Q3 2015

2 Overview Business opportunities for licensed spectrum Commercial Unmanned Vehicle Systems Command (Land, Sea, and Air) Control Systems Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Critical Infrastructure Industry for advanced applications in sensing solutions "Turn-key wireless solutions Increased demand for licensed spectrum supporting these applications Attributes of 700 MHz A Block spectrum Supports the investment decision to purchase remaining nationwide spectrum

3 Current State Increased need for higher efficiencies and tighter security Automation of applications and solutions Rising threat levels in the Critical Infrastructure Industry Limited cost-effective solutions 700 MHz A Block considered a premier band Demand is shifting to purchase spectrum and holistic solutions Secondary spectrum markets are viable solution Licensed spectrum will be required for UAS BVLOS (discussed in meetings with FCC and FAA)

4 Unmanned Aircraft Systems/Drone Applications Land/ Sea/ Air System Control Ranching News Media Coverage Oil Operations in Alaska and the Gulf Commercial delivery Line Inspections (Transmission Lines & Pipelines) Tower and Remote Site Inspections Topography & Foliage Growth Patterns Shale Operations Security Mining Agriculture Asset Mapping & Survey Mapping Broadcast and Film

5 Applications Critical Infrastructure Industry Distribution Automation Fixed Data and Site Sensing Mobile Data Line Inspections (Transmission Lines & Pipelines) Tower and Remote Site Inspections Urban Infrastructure Growth Patterns Generation Plant and Substation Security Asset Mapping & Survey Mapping Secure Backhaul Land Mobile Radio Automatic Meter Reading LTE or LTE Lite solutions possible through major equipment provider

6 Growing spectrum demand for "turn-key" solutions UAS Exclusive spectrum to command Line of Sight and BVLOS UAS/Drone Market control by owning SIM Cards for Command and Control Radio Systems Partnership opportunities to build geographic UAS/Drone infrastructure for BVLOS Critical Infrastructure Industry Holistic data and sensing solutions Enhanced site and data security Unique solutions for the CII market LTE or LTE Light

7 RED: Sold/Under Contract PGE NWE GRE NWE SRP GREY: Access Spectrum Geography (28 Licenses) to include the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska WHITE: Beach Point Capital Geography (21 Licenses) to include Hawaii YELLOW: Columbia Capital Geography (1 License)

8 Upper 700 MHz A Block 2x1 MHz paired (2 MHz total) Block 52 Major Economic Areas Population coverage of 313 million (POPs) MHz MHz Entire united States and Gulf of Mexico controlled by 3 Private Equity firms: Access Spectrum: 28 licenses Beach Point Capital: 21 licenses Columbia Capital: 1 license Spectrum investment: $0.75 / MHz POP

9 700 MHz Spectrum Investment $470 Million Remaining Nationwide Spectrum Licenses $205.1 Million Or Only-Remaining Access Spectrum Licenses Population Covered (POP) 2 Channels $0.75 Spectrum Investment EA 137 Lubbock, Texas 2013 population of 416,007 x 2 channels x $0.75/MHz = $624,011 EA 127 Dallas-Ft Worth, TX-AR-OK 2013 population of 9,511,313 x 2 channels x $0.75/MHz = $14,266,970

10 Favorable FCC Rules and Spectrum Attributes Unencumbered/clear licensed spectrum Superior propagation characteristics Wide range of technologies and applications UAS/Drone, Voice, SCADA, Telemetry, and other Data Applications Base station transmission: up to 1000 watts ERP on the lower frequency ( MHz) and up to 30 watts ERP on the higher frequency ( MHz) Antenna height: up to 1000 feet (305 meters) HAAT

11 Favorable FCC Rules and Spectrum Attributes No build out requirements Substantial Use of Service: Service which is sound, favorable and substantially above a level of mediocre service Safe Harbor: signal covering 50% of population in the geographic area covered by the license prior to renewal Ease of renewal Current A Block licenses expire on June 13, year terms renewal in perpetuity if compliant with FCC Part 27 Rules

12 Salt River Project (AZ) Pilot Proof 0f Concept Verify absence of interference with adjacent spectrum (Verizon or FirstNet) Measure spectrum efficiency Determine equipment capabilities (ASL helped define Pilot requirements and identify equipment manufacturers) FCC approved the Temporary Spectrum Usage Agreement in less than 24 hours and on the Friday before Labor Day (August 29) Length and Application 3 September December 2014 SRP s urban territory in Arizona Fixed Data and Mobile Data Project granted to ConVergence Technologies (assisted by Walker and Associates and MemoryLink)

13 Salt River Project (AZ) Positive Pilot Results No adjacent tenant interference Correct architecture and technology will further increase buffer Excellent propagation and coverage characteristics Single Point to Point User throughput: 750 Kbps No error correction implemented Better results with increased ERP SRP limited Pilot to 2 watts ERP Cell site capacity: 2.4 Mbps / MHz of Spectrum The full information is available in the Salt River Project 700 MHz Field Test Report dated January 20, 2015 via the UTC Website or by contacting Access Spectrum, LLC (Copyrighted 2015 ConVergence and MemoryLink)

14 Unmanned Aircraft Systems

15 700 MHz Spectrum for UAS BVLOS Safest and most secure control of UAV BVLOS Clean and unencumbered spectrum Favorable FCC rules to promote commercial use Optimized with proper architecture and equipment 700 MHz A Block can fulfill all critical applications and requirements Plenty of bandwidth for flight controls and data applications No channel skipping and interference Uninterrupted signal between control station and aircraft/vehicle 12.5 khz per aircraft link through exclusive spectrum

16 FAA s UAS Integration Model

17 UAS Program Information FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) FAA Approved Test Centers and Various Academic Programs testing the 700 MHz for UAS Flight Control and Data Use for BVLOS ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) ASL member of the F-38 Committee Addresses issues related to design, performance, quality acceptance tests, and safety monitoring for UAS FCC (Federal Communications Commission) Met with Deputy Chief OET, Deputy Chief OET Policy and Rules, and 7 members of the Wireless Bureau on 3/11/2015 General consensus that 700 MHz A Block can be used to control UAS or in conjunction with UAS operations RTCA (Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics) ASL member of the SC-228 WG-2 Command and Control Subcommittee Recommends spectrum for flight control for UAS 55lbs+

18 Return on Investment UAS Inflight Internet Access Rate ROI by ,500 UAS users x 3,000 min. flight x $2,000 Additional Revenue Product lines dedicated to 700 MHz and marketed to the UAS/Drone community Radios, transmitters, receivers, GCS, etc. Ability to sub-lease unused spectrum and mandate lease price and use UAS RF Subscribers 330M in 2014 Billion Dollar Industry Exponential burst in projected use following FAA integration in 2016

19 Result: Terrestrial BVLOS

20 Conclusion Key Opportunity for UAS Market Potential buyers include: CII, technology companies, and the commercial UAS marketspace Common need for dedicated spectrum to transmit anything from critical data to monitoring electric substations and/or gas pipelines Secure uninterrupted control of commercial UAVs LOS and BVLOS Licensed spectrum will be required for BVLOS flight control systems ongoing discussions with the FAA and FCC Scarce spectrum available for license and dedicated commercial use
