This document discusses mobile applications using VSAT satellite technology. It describes different types of mobility including maritime, land, and aeronautical. It outlines L-band and C/Ku-band solutions using MSS or VSAT. VSAT offers benefits like flat-rate pricing and higher data rates, while MSS has advantages like low power and easy installation. The document provides examples of aeronautical and maritime mobility solutions deployed by Hughes, including for government and commercial customers. It describes Hughes' HX technology for enabling mobility through features like automatic beam switching and Doppler compensation.

VSAT Mobility Services
VSAT uses “FSS” (fixed satellite services) spectrum
More spectrum, more satellites means lower cost of bandwidth
Ku-Band Economics:
36 MHz available for ~$3,000 per month to operator
36 MHz  is about 50-60 Mbps of capacity
or about 16 million Mbytes per month
Equivalent MSS capacity would cost ~$48 million
Use of VSAT enables offering of flat rate service plans (“all you can eat”)

HX Mobility Enabling Technology
 Automatic Beam Switching with Persistent IP Connections
– Automated beam switch based on navigation data (e.g. GPS)
– Persistent IP connection during beam switch
 Doppler Compensation
– Developed for airplanes and required for faster trains
 Return Channel Spreading
– Enables the use of very small antennas, which are lower in cost and
more easily installed on vessels and vehicles
 Rapid Blockage Recovery with Persistent IP Connections
– Several related features in HX ensure rapid recovery from blockages
 Tracking antenna interoperability
– Deployed and proven interoperability with various antenna vendors
 Vessel Tracking
– With NMEA interface HX System will track lat/long
– Option to record for some period (eg, 1 year)

= Interference
 Small aeronautical and/or maritime antennas mean increased potential for
adjacent satellite interference
 Spreading reduces peak power and therefore reduces potential for interference
 Uses additional bandwidth – trading bandwidth for the reduction in peak power
