Innovative product needs strong partners!Deutsche Telekom and Inmarsat – A sustainable cooperation

EANEuropeanAviationNetwork

One of the world's leading integrated telecommunications companies with around 151 million mobile customers, 30 million landlines and over 17 million broadband lines

Present in more than 50 countries

Over 20 years of aviation experience

Provides market-leading satcomsolutions to more than 15,000 aircraft worldwide

300 LTE base stations complement State-of-the-Art satellite technology to form a world-leading connectivity platform

4G LTE network technology – CGC> Complementary Ground Component (CGC) operating at S-band (2x 15MHz)

> High performance, high efficiency

Integrated with MSS S-band satellite

Superior passenger experience thanks to high throughput, capacity and low latency

> Overall network capacity up to 36Gbps to aircraft across the EU

> Low latency (40ms)

> Densification and sectorisation will deliver capacity growth. 4G technology adoption ensures technology evolution

Lower total cost of ownership > Lightweight, low cost equipment

> High reliability, low maintenance

How the European Aviation Network works


Complementary Ground

Component (CGC)

Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) utilises S-band

satellite, Europasat

S-band

LTE technology complements satellite technology in a hybrid approach

> Cell coverage will be optimised with varying cell sizes up to a 150km radius depending on capacity needs per area

> Test cells to be deployed in the UK, flight trial testing Q3 2016

> Flexibility to provide a wider MSS coverage

EAN coverageIllustrative coverage at 150km radius

Major benefits of EAN hybrid system vs. traditional Satcom solutions


System weight and drag

> Low weight and drag minimizes additional fuel costs ($)

System size > Fits on all regional airframes

Availability -MTBF

> Antenna has no moving parts - high MTBF provides a service with superior availability

> Less downtime improves customer perception and experience

Spares –space/storage

> High availability requires fewer LRUs to support, EAN LRUs are smaller and lighter vs. Satcomsolutions

Repairs costs –MTTR/downtime

> LRUs are smaller, lighter and easier to access, fewer personnel, less equipment and less time required vs. Satcom solutions

> Quick turn repairs minimize opportunity costs (aircraft back in service more quickly)

The need for speed and capacityEuropean passengers‟ most populardevice is their smartphone, followed by tablet and laptop

High smartphone ownership drives a higher usage of mobile data across Europe. Overall, three out of four internet users in Europe access the web via mobile broadband. Usage growth is exponential.

European mobile network users consume primarily real-time entertainment and data hungry applications such as YouTube

EAN‟s cellular architecture allows network capacity to be increased quickly and cost effectively in response to:

> Evolving pax behaviour – i.e. more streaming, higher take rates

> Hub area traffic growth

> More aircraft installations

> Route system changes

EAN scalabilityResponding to growth

Satellite (MSS)

Ground Network (A-CGC)

> Regulatory efforts synchronised with program implementation

> 28 MSS licenses and 4 CGC licenses already secured (Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, Poland)

> 30 CGC licenses expected at or before commercial launch

> Airline may identify launch and route priorities, used as basis for Inmarsat cell site deployment and telecoms licenses

> Inmarsat confident that all regulatory licenses will be in place to support launch operations and routes
