Next Generation Satellite Initiatives
 Internet of Things (IoT)
 New Technologies
 Satellite as a Medium for Transmission of Bulk Data
 Relevance of Advances in Satellite Technology

4. 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)

5. 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

6. Huge data growth/demand; Northern Sky

7. Next Generation Initiatives
- 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 – eg
Intelsat38/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.

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

11. Next Generation Satellite Initiatives
Africa
 Successful and Respected names - Eutelsat and Facebook
 Internet.org
 Facebook’s mission is to “connect the world” and believe that
satellites will play an important role in addressing the significant
barriers that exist in connecting people.
 cost-effective broadband access to unconnected populations.
 Spacecom’s AMOS-6 across Sub-Saharan Africa
 Eutelsat & Facebook deploy internet separately and together.
 Delivered via High Gain Ka-Band Spot beams in 2H 2016
 The capacity is optimised for community and Direct-to-User
Internet access using affordable, off-the-shelf customer
equipment.

12. Next Generation Satellite Initiatives
 648 satellites circling the Earth – 1200kms
up, 7.21km/s
 10 Terabits per second of new capacity
into hard-to-reach areas around the globe
 50 Mbps service
 30ms latency through ground stations
 End user estimated Cost $250/Mb
 Small, low-cost terminals talk to the
satellites and emit LTE, 3G and WiFi to
the surrounding areas, providing high-
speed access for everyone.

13. 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

14. 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.

15.  US-based LeoSat, backed and to
be built by Europe's Thales Alenia
Space founded by Schlumberger
executives, based on NSR
research determined market
 Latency <50ms, Ka-Band, 1400km
LEO, 5 x closer than O3b
 2019 - 2020
Next Generation Satellite Initiatives
 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.

16.  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,
maritime operators and the oil and gas industry; enterprise VSAT
 Initial projects small scale, non real-time such as polar data captures until at
scale.
Leosat Mission, Technology & Customers
MISSION: Worldwide coverage with a cost effective,
extremely high speed, low latency, strongly secured data
network that sets new standards in satellite performance

17. Next Generation Satellite Initiatives
 SpaceX plans to build and launch 4,000 satellites to low-Earth orbit,
in a bid to provide cheap Internet access to people around the world.
 $1 Billion raised so far; Google as the major sponsor; And financial
firm Fidelity
 Project to start within 5 years
+ ?

18. 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.

19. 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?

21. 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

22. Complementary GEO, MEO & LEO Technology
LeosatOneWeb

23. 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.

24. 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
