ViaSat seeks authority to operate as many as 50,000 of its AT2200 mobile earth terminals to communicate in the L-band with LightSquared's SkyTerra-1 satellite. The AT2200 Aviation Earth Terminal is to be mounted on helicopters or light aircraft, and provide such services as real-time aircraft location updates and providing in-cabin communications and weather data, ViaSat said in an FCC International Bureau filing posted Thursday.
