Relevance of Advances in Satellite Technology

Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the

network of physical objects, devices,

vehicles, buildings and other items

which are embedded with

electronics, software, sensors,

and network connectivity, which

enables these objects to collect and

exchange data

Usage Increasing as devices and

products are delivered “connected”

Usage shifting- eg Television –

NetFlix (on demand, all the time)

Internet Growth

Connectivity increases are

exponential ; Requirements for

internet are across every industry,

anywhere, all the time

Facebook, LinkedIn and more –

internet.org

Google – driving everyone,

everywhere onto the net

The satellite industry services a number of verticals from maritime,

aero, oil and gas, enterprise, broadcast, among others that are all

affected by and increasingly demand more

Current examples from O3b where majority of their customers are

doubling bandwidth within 12 months

Huge data growth/demand; Northern Sky

Research believe that high throughput satellites will

supply at least 1.34 TBps of capacity by 2020

- High Throughput Satellites

High Throughput Satellites (HTS) literally are the future.

Current Examples – O3b, IPSTAR, Australia’s NBN, ViaSat-1 (140Gps), Jupiter1(100Gbps), Inmarsat GX

Increase in Condosats – egIntelsat38/ABS8, Kacific and more “PrideSats” eg NBN’s SkyMuster

Sub-regions like the Pacific Ocean and Southeast Asia will best be served by

commercial projects providing diverse coverage for tailored applications.

Overall, an increasingly connected society points to strong growth ahead for

data-centric satellite communications offerings in Asia Pacific.

“ Intelsat EpicNG is a high performance, next generation satellite platform

that delivers global high-throughput technology without sacrificing user

control of service elements and hardware.”

- C-, Ku- and Ka-bands, wide beams, spot beams, and frequency reuse

technology to provide a host of customer-centric benefits.

- Multi Faceted: Uplink in Ku-Band, Downlink in C-Band – in another part of

the world.

- Increased throughput per Mbps (lower CAPEX)

- Lower cost per Mbps (OPEX) teamed with smaller kit (CAPEX) allows a

network to grow to areas previously economically unfeasible

- Intelsat EpicNG is designed for carrier-grade, fixed data rate services, vs

consumer-grade, highly contended best effort-broadband applications.

- Pacific integration in 2018

Technology & Solution

Progressive Pitch™

OneWeb has the ITU supported rights to the uniquely licensed Ku and Ka

spectrum they will use, from a previous and has special patent pending

“Progressive Pitch” technology to assure non-interference with geo-stationary

satellites in those bands by tilting the satellites on approach to the equator.

The theory already existed – technology enhanced and costs lowered to propel the

idea towards reality. Remember – many whitepapers were written saying O3b

would not work – yet it does!

Scale is critical to their business model — once the constellation is operating, the

marginal cost of a new customer is very low.

New offices opened last week near investor; Hughes, and satellite fleet operator

Intelsat, which is working to enable OneWeb customers to pass between OneWeb

and Intelsat satellites – in geostationary orbit – when coverage demands it.

10 test satellites scheduled to be launched by Arianespace in late 2017

OneWeb Terminals & Customers…

Easy to set up ground stations will serve as hot-spots that provide Wi-Fi, LTE, 3G and 2G connectivity. The operator simply opens up the solar panels and presses the “on” button — around a five second install time. Example on the right:

While Hughes Network Systems will develop the OneWeb ground systems, Bharti Enterprises and Mexico’s Totalplay Telecommunications are potential customers of OneWeb.

Coca-Cola will use OneWeb to connect its 25 million global points-of-sale and establish Ekocentres, kiosks that would sell drinks and serve as OneWeb terminal locales.

Intelsat, among other things, is keen to use OneWeb’s bandwidth for “connected cars” and aircraft.

First networked HTS satellites in low-earth-orbit constellation, from the poles.

Coverage complete with 78 intelligent interconnected satellites.

"We want to become 'fiber from the sky' from anywhere to anywhere," CEO, Mark

Rigolle, who previously raised $1.2B for O3b, and cofounded Kacific, is working

hard turning the project into a company.

“Effectively faster than fiber" and more secure.

Self initialising, solid state, electronic beam steering client terminals with low

cost, easy to deploy antennas

Broadband network aimed at high-volume, more secure Business customers

such as Telecom Backhaul & Trunking, governments, major corporations,

SmallSats – lower cost, quicker delivery

Companies in the SmallSat domain value the ability to

produce new satellites in short amounts of time.

Compared to larger spacecraft, this means there is

typically no need to wait a year or years to put a

satellite in orbit.

Planet Labs demonstrated this in Oct 2014, when

after losing 26 “Dove” spacecraft in the Antares Orb-3

mission, the company quickly built two satellites,

tested and delivered to launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9

with a thumbs up from NASA in a mere nine days.

Those satellites were successfully launched in Jan 15

and stand as a prime example.

Arianespace’s manifest for the first time last year tipped towards more small-

scale satellites rather than 5tonne traditional birds (2015’s contracts are 35%

GEO)

The SmallSat industry is playing up its strength in rapid development, with

less concern about heritage and extremely low risk. The industry is learning

how to put fresh tech in orbit at a faster pace, and the launch industry is

ready to step up and meet that demand.

Next Generation Satellite Initiatives

– Electronically acquire, steer, and lock a beam to any satellite,

with no moving parts. This technological innovation results in

an antenna that creates vast opportunities for the satellite

industry to expand and evolve the marketplace.

– As more companies begin to launch low earth orbit and

medium earth orbit constellations, this technology is uniquely

positioned to unlock the spectrum and coverage they will

provide. The software-driven antennas can rapidly and

smoothly acquire and switch satellites in a fast-moving LEO

constellation without dropping the connection.

– Backed by Bill Gates. Recently raised further $62M funding

– Kymeta is developing fixed flat panel antennae for multi

services/satellites; O3b, Intelsat, Panasonic Avionics

– Have partnered with Toyota & Intelsat

What will the Future of Satellite Comms

Look Like?

Satellite… in the Game!

- MEO and LEO satellite technology flames competition - satellite vs fibre

- Better services/lower costs will broaden existing and open a wide range of markets

for satellite connectivity worldwide

- New product offerings; antennas and terminals.

- Better Performance and affordability

Complementary GEO, MEO & LEO Technology

LeosatOneWeb

Latency matters?

Iridium and Globalstar have not gained a

significant competitive edge from their lower

latency over GEO systems like Inmarsat.

It didn’t for Teledesic, which faded away to be

replaced by Ka-band GEO satellites.

Existing broadband GEO satellites work well for

providing Internet access to people in remote

areas, as seen in North America and Europe,

and for the foreseeable future, geostationary

satellites will continue to offer the best

price/performance ratio for satellite broadband.

As a result, GEO HTS is likely to be deployed

even more widely in emerging economies in the

next few years.

Conclusion

Satellite technology providers are lifting their game with Next

Generation Satellites

HTS is the game changer; whether its GEO, MEO or LEO

GEO, MEO & LEO satellites will serve their specific niche as well as

complement each other to enhance efficiency for diverse and global

networks; Intelsat’s Epic Network, Kacific & O3b

Future is a blend - Next Gen initiatives are leaning toward LEO

networks; OneWeb, Google-SpaceX, Leosat simply as different

technologies, rather than replacement of GEO

Satellite will not be outperformed by fibre networks, but rather

complement them in a more seamless manner
