The Wireless Matrix-owned and operated ISPD Network consists:

• Primary Data Hub equipment located at Wireless Matrix in Reston, Virginia

• Secondary Data Hub equipment located in Ashburn, Virginia

• Communications Ground Segment (CGS) located at Mobile Satellite Ventures in Reston,

Virginia

• MSAT-2 geostationary satellite. MSAT-2 covers the United States and its coastal waters

as well as Canada

On the client side, a CSC device connects to the MBS2-LP. The MBS2-LP routes messages

over the Wireless Matrix ISPD Satellite network or the GPRS/EDGE network, depending on

which network the MBS2-LP determines to be the “Active Network”. The MBS2-LP is also

responsible for notifying the WIPG when its Active Network changes.
