1 C-band Use and Challenges in the Americas Region January 2013

2 Terrestrial interference in C-band Issue WRC-15 Agenda Item 1.1 will consider additional spectrum generally for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) and other mobile broadband applications Numerous input documents to the ITU already seek consideration of C-band Problem Such use is not compatible with the existing operations in C- band, including FSS, radar systems and fixed point-to-point links Reality C-band is heavily used by FSS systems around the world, and its use is continuing to grow Around 170 C-band satellites are in geostationary orbit today 32 of these satellites cover Latin America There is substantial ongoing investment in C-band satellite capacity worldwide: - At least 52 satellites with C-band payloads have been launched in , representing $12-15 billion in investment - At least 35 satellites with C-band payloads are under construction and are scheduled to be launched globally in , representing $9-10 billion in investment 2

3 Latin America: Demand Development Pay TV Subscriptions in Latin America per Technology, Pay TV Subscriptions in Latin America per Technology in Selected Markets, 2012 Million of Subscribers Cable DTH DTT IPTV Household penetration will rise from 30% to above 40% over the next 4 years CAGR of 18% Million of Subscribers Cable DTH DTT IPTV Brazil Mexico Argentina Chile Peru Cable subscriptions (highly dependant on C band distribution) represent roughly 45% of total pay TV connections.

8 C-band services provided by satellites Services Cable video distribution OU video distribution VSAT networks GSM Backhaul 8

9 Key Services Supported by C-band Satellites Media Distribution C-band is used to distribute media content around the world, including, e.g. - Cable distribution to 7038 cable head-ends around the United States, serving 60 million U.S. households - Cable distribution to 4711 cable head-ends in Latin America and the Caribbean, serving more than 29 million cable homes (2012) - 20 million receive-only C-band television dishes in Brazil alone Media Contribution Special events coverage (e.g. Olympics) Satellite news gathering Feeder Links for mobile-satellite services (MSS) Supporting public safety and emergency relief missions around the world. 9

10 Key Services Supported by C-band Satellites Rural and remote communications Internet and basic connectivity in remote areas (remote villages, external territories, maritime platforms, etc.) Cellular backhaul applications Mobility 3510 C-band Earth Stations on Vessels (ESVs) in 2012, providing video distribution, Internet and mobile backhaul services Other C-band services, including Disaster recovery and emergency preparedness Tracking, Telemetry & Command (TT&C) for many satellite systems in other frequency bands, for example, for launches 10

11 Unique Attributes of C-Band Satellite Services C-band satellite services cannot easily be replicated at other satellite bands or via terrestrial means Geographic reach. C-band easily covers entire continents and oceans and offers an economically viable way of providing intercontinental and global communications - Smaller or hard-to-reach markets and low density regions are covered as easily as metropolitan areas - Particularly ideal for point-to-multipoint applications (broadcast, widely-dispersed networks), and remote/rural deployment Resistance to rain-fade - C-band is less susceptible to signal interruptions from heavy rains than higher bands (Ku, Ka), making it better suited for tropical or high-rain areas at high availabilities 11

12 Unique Benefits of C-Band Earth Station Operators Access to large base of efficient, affordable equipment Service Providers: Cost/spectrum efficiency Resistance to rain fade permits higher margins using less bandwidth Programmers Access to large established cable neighborhoods Satellite operators Global beams allow operators to link countries and continents 12

13 Sharing between FSS & BWA/IMT is not feasible ITU studies Studies have concluded that protection distances of between km are necessary to allow co-frequency sharing between BWA/IMT systems and FSS earth stations, i.e. co-coverage sharing is not feasible Adjacent band protection distances to avoid LNB overload of FSS receivers are between km Considering that a typical city has a radius of 15 to 30 km, sharing between BWA/IMT systems and FSS receive earth stations is not realistic See Reports ITU-R M.2109 & S.2199 Government, strategic, and commercial FSS services in the C-band will suffer Resulting interference can cause signal delays, synchronization loss, blackout periods, blackout areas, and total loss of transmission Many countries Bolivia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Fiji, to name a few have experienced interference when deploying BWA systems in C-band - WiMAX testing led to 30% of TV households in Bolivia missing some of World Cup Similar testing in Hong Kong led to 300,000 households across Asia to lose their TV service 13

14 Sharing between FSS & BWA/IMT is not feasible Sharing is exacerbated by a large number of receive only earth stations already deployed many of which are unregistered Shielding, for example, requires knowing the location of every earth station Further, site shielding is expensive and infeasible on a regional or worldwide basis 14
