1.2 All Antenna Installers shall be Certified, and shall have expressly acknowledged the requirements
for the Installation of both ermanent-Mount and Temporary-Fixed Antennas.
1.3 Certified Antenna Installers shall be specifically trained for Antenna Installations. Such training
shall explicitly include at least these topics:
a. Installation methods and procedures
b. Selection and use of Installation materials and parts
c. Radiation hazard safety for Ka-band and high-power Ku-band operations
d. NEC grounding requirements
1.4 Unless explicitly authorized in writing, Antenna Installations may only be completed using Certified
Indoor Units, Outdoor Units, and Antennas in approved configurations.
1.5 Installers shall ensure that Antennas are installed only in locations that are not readily accessible to
children and in a manner that prevents human exposure to potential harmful levels of radiation.
1.6 All Antennas shall be installed such that there is “Controlled Access” to the Antenna.
1.7 All Antennas shall be installed such that the lip of the antenna reflector is at least 1 meter (3 feet, 3
inches) from any opening (e.g., window or door) in a building or other adjacent structure.
1.8 Antennas of all sizes shall carry industry-standard and government-approved Radiation Hazard
Caution Labels. The Installer shall inspect the labels to verify that they are present, legible, and
visible to persons approaching the Antenna.
1.9 If access to the antenna is controlled under the requirement in Section 1.6, then Radiation Hazard
Caution Signs, as defined in Section 6 must be placed on the access door, gate, fence, or permanently
mounted ladder and be within plain sight of anyone approaching the Installation from the front and

Temporary-Fixed Two-Way Installations - Additional Policies
The specific policies detailed below apply to the Installation of all Temporary–Fixed Two-Way Antennas
using the service. These requirements are in addition to the general policies in the iAutoSat Legal olicy
and other policies herein.
2.1 Only Antennas that have been accepted as Certified Temporary-Fixed Antennas may be used for this
purpose.
2.2 All Temporary-Fixed Antennas shall be installed and deployed so as to protect members of the
general public from being exposed to radiation potentially in excess of the FCC’s Maximum
ermissible Exposure (M E) levels. Such Installations shall either meet the requirements listed in
Subsection 1.6 above or shall be roped off or otherwise have a physical barrier preventing any
person from inadvertently being exposed to radiation levels potentially above the M E. The roped-
off area shall encompass an area whose boundary is not closer than 2 meters (6 feet, 7 inches) to the
Antenna in any direction and that exceeds the distance, toward the front of the antenna, as defined in
Annex D. The roped-off area shall have one or more Radiation Hazard Caution Sign(s), as defined
in Section 6, prominently displayed such that they can be seen when approached from any accessible
direction.
2.3 For vehicles with roof mounts, Temporary-Fixed Antennas, when deployed or in operation, shall be
mounted such that the radio assembly, antenna feedarm, and the bottom lip of the reflector are at
least 1.5 meters (no less than 5 feet) above the ground or any surrounding surface that a person may
be expected to easily access. This requirement may be waived if the Installation is roped-off and
caution signage placed as directed in Subsection 2.2.
2.4 For vehicles with roof mounts, if a roof access ladder or any other means of access to the roof exists
on the vehicle, the ladder or access must be blocked by a suitable rope or other barrier while the
