Multispot Ka-Band Coverage
• Coverage: 82 beams
• Full European Coverage
• Total capacity: 70 Gbps (up to 475Mbps per Spot)
4 Colours = 4 Freq/Pol Slots repeated all over coverage
82 Beams
Frequencies are reused 20 times

A closer look to a Beam
19,7 – 20,2 GHz
~250 MHz
FWD
Each Single Beam is fed via KA-SAT with ~250 MHz of Bandwidth (called also “FWD” Capacity)
www.skylogic.com Page - 10
A closer look to a Beam
Each Single Beam is fed via KA-SAT with ~250 MHz of Bandwidth (called also “FWD” Capacity)
Terminals within a Beam have available ~250 MHz of “RTN” Capacity for transmitting back to KA-SAT
There are 82 Beams from KA-SAT. As each one is fed with ~250 MHz of bandwidth, it comes that KA-SAT Satellite must be fed with 82 x 250 MHz ~ 20 GHz (!)
29,5 – 30 GHz ~250 MHz
RTN

How is it possible to Feed KA-SAT with 20 GHz
of Info?
• It is possible only reusing more than one time the same Slot of Frequency (example: 10 times
the same slot of 2 GHz)

News Gathering via Satellite
and the IP Revolution:
why is KA-SAT so innovative for SNG?
www.skylogic.com Page - 18
OU Data Gathering: Ka Advantages
• 1st Consideration: EFP (Electronic Field Production) equipment are becoming cheaper and
cheaper (they have become already, actually…)
~35-80 k€ ~3-8 k€
www.skylogic.com Page - 19
OU Data Gathering: Ka Advantages
• 2nd Consideration: The EFP/ENG WorkFlow has moved from Tape to Memory-Card with -
again - significant reductions in cost and a seamless integration into IP networks
www.skylogic.com Page - 20
OU Data Gathering: Ka Advantages
• Result: EFP production requires today a very limited investment and is seamlessly integrated
into IP Networks; EFP systems can today be deployed in large volumes by Broadcasters due to
their improved affordability
+ + =
Light +
Cheap + IP
• So, Broadcasters are looking for Cheap and Light systems, providing IP
connectivity, as an ideal complement of today’s EFP System for News Gathering
www.skylogic.com Page - 21
The Concept to its extremes...
• The Ideal Complement of the “Extremely Light” Digital Workflow
• An highly portable, light, compact terminal, IP native, performant for LIVE
Video and FILE Push
( + )

Terminal Acceptance
• To operate on KA-SAT, Terminals
need to receive Eutelsat Validation
and Approval
• Eutelsat ESOG Document details
the acceptance procedure
– Static Tests
– Autopointing Tests
• Eutelsat approved Antennas will be
recognisable by a proper Logo and
Certification

Frequency Band
• The ECC Decision exempts from
individuale licensing Terminals having an
EIRP < 60 dBW (in some countries the limit
is lowered to 50 dBW)

Accessing the Bandwidth:
Booking
www.skylogic.com Page - 60
Booking
• The Service is fully operated by Skylogic, the
Italian Subsdiary of Eutelsat based in Turin
• Skylogic NOC also provides Support in case of
Troubleshooting
www.skylogic.com Page - 61
Booking
• Web-based Self-Booking
– Each Customer is provided with access to a Service
Webportal (OSS)
– The portal provides informations on all terminals
belonging to the Customer
• Alive, Off, Configuration, Rate, Beam etc...
www.skylogic.com Page - 62
Booking
• Booking is done on the web via the Skylogic OSS Portal
– The Customer specifies
• The User Terminal he uses (each UT is uniquely identified by its MAC
Address)
• The location from where he will be doing the Contribution (used to determine
the Beam)
– NOTE: NewsSpotter Terminals are not limited to work from a single
Beam, they can work from ALL of the Beams (“Beamless”
Configuration)
• The Timeslot of the Contribution
• The Bitrate he requires on the RTN and on the FWD link
• If the Terminal is not Booked, it will still get connectivity and will be forwarded to the
OSS Booking page
– This allows the SNG to go on site in case of Breaking News, deploy the antenna,
and perform an “immediate” booking

Commercial Model
• We are not selling MHz, we are selling GBytes
– The Customer pays the transferred Volume instead of the Frequency slot
used
• Example
– 1 hour of transfer @ 4Mbps = 1.8 GBytes
Volume transferred in 1 hour
Transfer bit-rate Volume transferred
1 Mbps 0.45 GB
2 Mbps 0.9 GB
4 Mbps 1.8 GB
8 Mbps 3.6 GB
12 Mbps 5.4 GB
Time to transfer 1 GB
Transfer bit-rate Time to transfer
1 Mbps 2h13
2 Mbps 1h07
4 Mbps 33 min
8 Mbps 17 min
12 Mbps 11 min
www.skylogic.com Page - 67
Commercial Model
• The Service can be marketed in 2 main modes
– Occasional Use Committed via Booking
– Permanently Reserved CIR per Beam (IP
Connect)
www.skylogic.com Page - 68
1 - Commercial Model - Occasional Use via
Booking
• The Customer purchases Volume, and he uses it “little by little” when doing contribution with its fleet of terminals
– It’s like filling a tank with gasoline
– The faster the car, the higher the Gasoline consumption (the higher the transmission rate, the higher the volume consumed)
• Increased flexibility
– A terminal can work at different speed on different dates
– The individual Terminal does not have any FAP
• The model foresee monthly “Traffic Plans”
– Monthly plan specifies a monthly volume
– The higher the Volume engagement of the Plan, the lower the price
– The sum of the volume used during the month by Customer Fleet will be accounted and billed out of the Monthly Plan
www.skylogic.com Page - 71
1 - Commercial Model - Occasional Use via
Booking
• Ka
– 1 hour @ 4 Mbit (perfect for SD) uses 1.8 GBytes
• Ku
– Price vary a lot on the basis of timeslot (Primetime, Daytime,
Nightime)
– Price vary a lot on the basis of commitment
Thus, KA costs from 2/3 to 1/5 the price of Ku
– Thus 1 hour of SD contribution @ 4 Mbit costs from ~32.8 € to ~109.35 €
– On average, one hour of 4 MHz (~4Mbit) cost ~ 150 €
