Communication System. To accomplish the objectives, testing
will be performed at four levels. The first testing level is
subsystem acceptance testing. This testing will be performed to
verify that the suppliers have met the subsystem level
requirements. The second level of testing is performed at the
Gateway Equipment level by integrating and testing the
subsystems together as a functional entity. This level of
testing will be performed to verify that the Gateway segment
level requirements have been met and all interfaces external to
the Gateway have been verified. Simulation will be used for most
external interfaces. The third level of testing demonstrates
the Gateway Equipment in the Gateway test laboratory. This
level of testing introduces other system elements such as the
System Control Segment Control Facility, the Message Termination
Controller, and the ISU, which replace simulators in the Gateway
test laboratory. The objective of this testing is to integrate
the Gateway segment into the IRIDIUM Communications System in a

3. DESCRIPTION OF IRIDIUM SUBSCRIBER SERVICES

3.1. BASIC SERVICES

1. Telephony
The service which provides the transmission of speech,
information and audible signaling tones of the PSTN / ISDN.

2. Emergency Calls

The Teleservice which provides a standardized access method to
Emergency calling services throughout all Iridium Gateways. In
addition, national emergency call numbers of PSTN/ISDN will be
usable from the ISU.

3.2 SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICES

Supplementary services offer enhancements to the basic call handling
functions offered on a per-subscriber basis. These services cannot be
offered as "stand-alone" services, but rather must supplement an
existing basic service

1. Call Forwarding Unconditional (CFU)

The supplementary service which permits a called mobile
subscriber to have the network send all incoming calls, or just
those associated with a specific Basic service, addressed to the
called mobile subscriber's directory number to another directory
number. The ability of the served mobile subscriber to
originate calls is unaffected. If this service is activated,
calls are forwarded no matter what the condition of the
termination.

2. Call Forwarding Mobile Subscriber Busy (CFB)

The supplementary service which permits a called mobile
subscriber to have the network send all incoming calls, or just
those associated with a specific Basic service, addressed to the
called mobile subscriber's directory number and which meet
mobile subscriber busy to another directory number. The ability
of the served mobile subscriber to originate calls is
unaffected. If this service is activated, a call is forwarded
only if the call meets mobile subscriber busy.

3. Call Forwarding on No Reply

The supplementary service which permits a called mobile
subscriber to have the network send all incoming calls, or just
those associated with a specific Basic service,

---------------------

B-5
MOTOROLA CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY

113
Terrestrial Network Development Contract

APPENDIX B

addressed to the called mobile subscriber's directory number and
which meet no reply to another directory number. The ability of
the served mobile subscriber to originate calls is unaffected.
If this service is activated, a call is forwarded only if the
call meets no reply.

4. Call Forwarding on Mobile Subscriber Not Reachable (CFNRc)

The supplementary service which permits a called mobile
subscriber to have the network send all incoming calls, or just
those associated with a specific Basic service, addressed to the
called mobile subscriber's directory number, but which cannot be
reached due to radio congestion, no paging response or because
the subscriber is not registered, to another directory number.

5. Call Hold (HOLD)

The supplementary service which allows a served mobile
subscriber to interrupt communication on an existing call and
then subsequently, if desired, re-establish communication. The
traffic channel remains assigned to the mobile subscriber after
the communication is interrupted to allow the origination or
possible termination of other calls.

6. Call Waiting (CW)

The Call Waiting Service permits a mobile subscriber to be
notified of an incoming call (as per basic call procedures)
while the traffic channel is not available for the incoming
call. Subsequently, the subscriber can either accept, reject,
or ignore the incoming call.

7. Advice of Charge (AoC)

This service provides the means by which the ISU may indicate an
accurate estimate of the charge that will be made for the use of
telecommunication services. Advice of Charge - Charge level is
intended for applications where the user is generally not the
subscriber but is known to the subscriber, and where the user
pays the subscriber, rather than the Gateway Operator or
alternatively where the charge information service supports
another feature (i.e. debit card or Payphone). While such
features are specified as part of the mobile station, the Advice
of Charge feaure - Charge level provides system support of these
mobile station features.

8. Barring of Outgoing Calls (BAOC)

The supplementary service which makes it possible for a mobile
subscriber to prevent all outgoing calls or just those
associated with a specific Basic service. The ability of the
served mobile subscriber to receive calls remains unaffected.
The ability to set-up emergency calls remains unaffected.

9. Barring of all Incoming Calls (BAIC)

The supplementary service which makes it possible for a mobile
subscriber to prevent all incoming calls or just those
associated with a specific Basic service. The ability of the
served mobile subscriber to originate calls remains unaffected.

4. MESSAGING SERVICES

IRIDIUM Messaging Services can be categorized by those available to messaging
subscribers and those available to telephony subscribers. These messaging
services are supported by the Messaging Infrastructure. Some depend on the
existence of Telephony services to be utilized, while others are dependent on
basic Messaging Services. The delivery mechanism of the two categories of
messaging services varies also and will be described in the appropriate
delivery sections.

Basic Messaging services are those services providing the complete capability
for Messaging communications between users according to protocols established
by design and agreement between network operators and Service Providers.
Supplementary Services modify or supplement a basic service. Supplementary
services cannot be offered to an IRIDIUM subscriber as a stand-alone service.
They must be offered in association with a basic service. The same
supplementary service may be applicable to a number of Messaging services.

4.1. DIRECTED MESSAGING SERVICES FOR MESSAGING SUBSCRIBERS

4.1.1. BASIC DIRECTED MESSAGE SERVICE (DMS)

Directed Messaging Service, or DMS , is a unidirectional service which
allows for the origination and delivery of numeric and alphanumeric
messages to Message Termination Devices (MTDs, aka-pages). Callers
desiring to originate a message to a messaging subscriber must access
the Messaging Infrastructure and identify the messaging subscriber and
the desire service. Origination session types supported are voice
connection and data connection. Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) is
required for origination and access sessions via a voice connection.
Input devices for data connections include some type of computer
terminal or remote entry device (e.g. Alphamate). The first
operational system will limit numeric messages to 20 4-bit BCD digits
and alphanumeric messages to 464 bits of character information maximum
with an average of 320 bits of character information. The Gateway
Messaging Subsystem will be designed to support alphanumeric messages
up to * (e.g. * characters). The encoding currently supported for
alphanumeric messages is * which translates to * characters maximum
and * characters average. The messages are stored for later
reference if needed and delivered to a location specified by the
subscriber.

4.1.2. DMS FEATURES & SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICES

If provisioned for Directed Messaging Basic Service, the following features are
provided and the supplementary services are available for subscription. Once
subscription is complete, the subscriber has control of activating and
deactivating the supplementary services and accessing features.

APPENDIX B

1. Subscriber Service Section

The Subscriber Service Session (SSS) feature provides for
mailbox maintenance and profile management by the subscriber.
The session is password protected, thereby only permitting
service to authorized users. Profile management includes
password setting, delivery area specification, greeting
recording, default language specification for prompts and
enunciating numeric messages, and service settings.

2. Delivery Area Specification

The location of where DMS messages need to be delivered must be
known to the system prior to delivery. The delivery area is
specified by selecting one or multiple * Message
Delivery Areas (MDAs) from a predefined set of MDAs. Each MDA
specifies an area on the globe. The range of MDAs is *.

Typically the subscriber sets the delivery area via a Subscriber
Service Session (SSS) or via a Service Provider.

It is the responsibility of the Service Providers to provide the
MDA definition information to their subscribers.

3. Message Recall/Message Retransmit

Message Recall / Message Retransmit service is a DMS feature
that allows the subscriber to inspect the DMS messages in his
mailbox. The system has the capability to retransmit all
messages in the mailbox to the subscriber's MTD, and to
enunciate (in the subscriber's default language), via a voice
connection, the numeric messages. All deposited messages are
statused as to the deposit date and time, message class (urgent,
normal), plus the sequence number of the message.

4.2. TELEPHONY VOICE - MESSAGING

1. Enhanced Call Completion

Enhanced Call Completion service is a feature of the IRIDIUM
telephony service and is intended to be offered to every IRIDIUM
telephony user. Enhanced Call Completion service permits a
called IRIDIUM telephony subscriber to be informed via a message
from the caller when an incoming call addressed to the called
mobile subscriber's directory number met the telephony
definition of "not reachable". In operation, ECC service is
invoked as the result of a failure to reach an ISU (mobile
terminated call) due to the telephony condition "mobile
subscriber not reachable". It allows a caller to input a 20
digit message to be delivered to the telephony subscriber.

Although this service utilizes the call forwarding supplementary
services of telephony, the subscriber will not be required to
subscribe to call forwarding for ECC service. If the telephony
subscriber desires to explicitly use call forwarding services
(for other purposes such as forwarding on busy to Voice
Messaging), the subscriber must subscribe to call forwarding.

The Enhanced Call Completion message is delivered to the ISU
subscriber in the same location as is currently identified for
that subscriber's telephony service

Precedence is given to normal IRIDIUM telephony call forwarding
services over those of ECC. If the subscriber explicitly
forwards his calls on "not reachable" to another number or to
his Voice Messaging, these take precedence over ECC. Only the
deactivation of the explicit call forwarding will reactivate
ECC. A call normally forwarded for telephony will not be
forwarded to the ECC service, no matter what the number of
forwardings may be.

2. Telephony Voice Messaging

The Voice Messaging (VM) service is supplementary service which
allows the ability to record, store, retrieve and manipulate
spoken messages. All VM messages are recorded accurately and
allow a caller to leave detailed information in their own voice,
with all the inflections and tonal qualities which this form of
communications allows.

Telephony VM notifications are delivered to telephony
subscribers on their mobile stations (ISUs). The Messaging
Infrastructure can support Telephony VM notifications up to *
(i.e. * characters). The first operational system will limit
Telephony VM notification messages to * (i.e. * characters),
either numeric or alphanumeric.

4.2.1. TELEPHONY VOICE MESSAGING SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICES

1. Subscriber Service Session

The Subscriber Service Session (SSS) feature provides for
mailbox maintenance and profile management by the subscriber.
The session is password protected, thereby

management includes password setting, delivery type
specification for notifications, destination address (MTD or
ISU), greeting and voice signature recording, default language
specification for prompts, and service settings. The
destination address (MTD or ISU) is customizable via the Service
Provider.

2. Message Recall

Message Recall service is a VM feature that allows the
subscriber to listen to the VM messages in his mailbox.

5. Store and Forward Fax

Fax transmission between ISU and PSTN users, and between ISU and
ISU users, employs a two-stage store and forward approach. PSTN
users can use their current analog (i.e., 2 wire) * machines.

6. Messaging / Telephony Location Interworking (MTLI)

6.1 Feature Description

MTLI is a feature which will enable the System to correlate the location of an
System messaging subscriber with the location of that subscriber's most recent
registration of the subscriber's * . The MTLI feature would allow
delivery of the directed messages to an System subscriber's MTD in the same
location as is currently identified for that subscriber's telephony service.
This feature eliminates the need for a System messaging subscriber, who is also
provisioned for telephony service, to explicitly tell the messaging system
where the directed messages are to be delivered when the subscriber roams.
* . Also, for the feature to work, the phone must be
periodically turned on when roaming in order for the proper location of the
subscriber to be determined.

8.0. Enhanced Emergency Call Handling

8.1 SIM-less Emergency Calling

SIM-less Emergency Calling is a feature of the Global System for
Mobile Communications (GSM) that allows a user to place an emergency
call from a mobile terminal notwithstanding that a SIM card, and hence
subscriber identification, is not present in the terminal. This GSM
feature will be adapted for the System and can be supported on a
country per country basis. The specific functionality that will be
provided in SIM-less Emergency Calling for the System is as follows:

1. Emergency service based on teleservice 12 shall be offered to
subscribers with a valid SIM card, with an invalid SIM card, and to
mobile stations (ISUs) without SIM cards, in areas where teleservice
12 emergency service is supported. This covers "Worldwide emergency
code" dialing and "Alternate emergency code" dialing (e.g., 911 in
the U.S. with the presence of a SIM card.)

2. Emergency service based on teleservice 11 shall be offered to
subscribers with a valid SIM card in accessible areas. This covers
"Multiple emergency codes," provided the SIM card contains these codes
and the ISU recognizes them as emergency codes which may be different
from country to country. This also covers the "Worldwide emergency
code" dialing and "Alternate emergency codes" dialing if teleservice
11 is supported.

3. In areas where both teleservice 11 and teleservice 12 are
supported, both teleservice 11 and teleservice 12 will be allowed by
the network. An ISU with a valid SIM

card on "Worldwide emergency code" and "Alternate emergency code"
dialing shall choose teleservice 12 to avoid security checks.

8.1 Multiple Emergency Code Support

1. The SIM card will have file(s) containing subscriber's home
multiple emergency codes.

2. The ISU, with the presence of SIM, will recognize the multiple
emergency codes and perform the dialing digit translation
accordingly. The ISU will use the resulting digits to setup
an emergency call using teleservice 11.

3. The SSS will perform location dependent routing for
teleservice 11 emergency calls. *
