The document discusses opportunities for satellite communications beyond consumer and Ka-band markets. It describes Newtec as a leader in satellite communications equipment and technology with over 27 years of experience. The presentation covers trends in VSAT and broadband access markets, comparisons of C-band, Ku-band and Ka-band technologies, optimizing satellite bandwidth and capacity usage, and new market opportunities for VSAT in areas like SCADA, backhaul, and providing backup connectivity as fiber infrastructure expands. Real-world use cases are provided for elections in Burkina Faso, banking networks in Africa, and monitoring renewable energy sites in Italy.

Evaluate the following criteria:
• What are your service level requirements? PIR/CIR & availability?
• How many terminals do you plan?
• What is your required coverage area?
• How are customers distributed over the desired coverage area?
• Is there a specfic requirement for the gateway location?
• In Country gateway? Own Gateway? Use an existing teleport for hosting?
• What are your options on available space segment?
• Evaluate both the initial and foreseen space segments availability.
• E.g. Start wide beam and extend with spot-beam in high demand service areas’s.
