The document discusses high throughput satellites in Ka-band and their role in broadband access. It summarizes that Ka-band enables much higher satellite capacity through smaller spot beams and frequency reuse. New satellite designs optimized for broadband can provide over 100 Gbps of capacity. This reduces the cost per Mbps delivered by over 100 times compared to conventional satellites. National broadband plans in countries like the US and Australia include satellite to deliver broadband services to rural and remote areas not served by terrestrial technologies.

Service Business Drivers • Increasing subscribers • Increasing performance Ka-Band is an enabler to achieve • More satellite capacity • Capacity optimized for broadband • Lower cost per bit Ka-band benefits: • More Orbital slots available • High power, assignable beams • High Capacity: over 100Gbps Ka-band issues: • Small Beams • Rain Fade
