ViaSat is seeking FCC approval for its new FT22225 mobile earth terminals. In a filing Wednesday with the International Bureau, the company said it plans up to 100,000 terminals to communicate in the L-band with LightSquared's SkyTerra-1 satellite and to provide real-time position tracking and remote-asset management and operation for such applications as oil and gas stream monitoring and control, water treatment and distribution monitoring and control, and ATM kiosk operation.
