1 NEXT GENERATION VIDEO NETWORKS Survey Results September 2014 Shaping the Future of Satellite Communications Rev.2 09/2014

2 Introduction Everyone is talking about multiservice networks, automated workflows, hybrid networks and new industry standards (e.g. UHDTV, DVB-S2X). Just buzzwords? With the help of our 3 rd industry survey, we at Newtec were interested in the thoughts of our customers and business partners: n n n In what direction is the industry moving? How is the satellite-terrestrial mix changing? What investment plans are being made as a result? This booklet will provide you with the answers to these questions. We would like to give a big thank you to the 270 participants who completed our 3 rd industry survey, which ran over three weeks in August Results of this survey are Newtec

9 Satellite for Occasional Use (OU, temporary) services today and in three years? 80% 100% BROADCAST Broadcast 70% 60% 69% 50%<100% 6 62% 50% 47% 0%<50% 40% 40% 38% 30% 20% 21% 20% 1 7% 7% 0% 0% 0% 0% 100% 50%<100% 0%<50% No OU services over satellite 0% 100% 50%<100% 0%<50% No OU services over satellite 50%<100% 0%<50% No OU Satellite for Occasional Use (OU) will remain very relevant. However, there is a shift: n 53% of the operators using satellite only (100%) today, will use alternatives (e.g. terrestrial transmissions) in the future. n 21% of those who are using satellite for more than 50% will decrease their usage in the future, while will increase their satellite usage. n 6 of the operators using satellite for less than 50% will continue to do so. n New operators, who think about starting new OU services, plan to use satellite up to 50%. 9

10 Mix of live and file based transmissions today and in three years? 50% 4 40% 3 30% 2 20% 1 0% 22% 12% 100% Live (Live only) 39% 4 7 Live 2 File 22% 29% 50% Live 50% File 2 Live 7 File Today In 3 years 8% 100% File BROADCAST Broadcast Transmission Mix 2 Live 7 File 100 % File 7% 100% Live 22% 2 Live 7 File 100 % File 8% 100% Live 12% 50% Live 50% File 22% 7 Live 2 File 39% 50% Live 50% File 29% 7 Live 2 File 4 TODAY FUTURE (in 3 years) Going from 22% for using live only transmissions, there is a clear shift for adding file-based transmission within three years from now (88%). 10 The survey includes participants from all regions around the world.

11 Investment priorities in the near future? Upgrading Transmission to HDTV Upgrading Transmission to DVB-S2 Broadcast Workflows for Live TV Upgrading transmission to DVB-S2 Broadcast Workflows for File Broadcast Workflows for Live TV Network & DSNG/FNG Fleet Automation voice) Broadcast Workflows for File Upgrading Transmission to DVB-S2X ment System for the whole network Multiservice Platforms (single network for video, data and (single network for video, data and voice) voice) Upgrading transmission to DVB-S2X Single Management System for the Whole Network Media Asset Management Single Management System for the whole network Upgrading Transmission 4K/UHDTV Bi-directional Communications (VSAT) Back O ce Systems (scheduling, OSS/BSS, billing, ) Broadcasters will continue to invest in transmission upgrades for HDTV and DVB-S2; later to DVB-S2X. There is a huge investment in broadcast workflows, automation and multiservice networks. 11

12 What new services will you add in the near future? No New Services Cloud Services DTH + Broadband (B2C & B2B) Trunking / Cellular Backhaul Fast News Gathering DTH Sports Contribution Consumer Broadband (VSAT) Enterprise Broadband (VSAT) Voice DSNG Remote Headend Monitoring DSNG/FNG Fleet Automation Exchange Remote Tower Monitoring DTH 7% No New Services 18% Fast News Gathering 7% Sports Contribution DSNG 7% 18% 7% 4% 8% BIDIRECTIONAL: Consumer Broadband (VSAT) Enterprise Broadband (VSA) DSNG/FNG Fleet Automation 4% Trunking / Cellular Backhaul 8% Remote Headend Monitoring 4% 2% 4% 3% Voice Exchange 3% Cloud Services Remote Tower Monitoring 2% DTH + Broadband (B2C & B2B) 82% of the participants will add new services to their network in the near future. The majority of the to-be-added services require bidirectional satellite connectivity (e.g. VSAT). 12 Results of this survey are Newtec

13 What would be your reasons NOT to opt for a multiservice platform? 9% 4% 9% 22% I donʼt know the benefits I have a multiservice network already None I use a managed service 39% 9% 14% 7% 9% 12% I think it is a too big investment I think it is too complex to operate I donʼt own the entire network/cannot set up an end-to-end workflow I am afraid that a service may impact the quality of other services on the network My (end) customer does not allow sharing network and capacity resources. 39% I have past experience, and it didnʼt meet my expectations Almost 40% do not see objections. 18% of the broadcasters have concerns about sharing the network and the service quality. 21% think a multiservice platform is too complex or not manageable end-to-end. Within what time frame will you be implementing DVB-S2X? 8% 23% 14% 1 Already implemented Within 6 months Within 1 year More than a yearʼs time Only as soon as DVB-S2X becomes widely accepted within my market Will not adapt to DVB-S2X in the coming 3 years I don't know 28% Within one year, a quarter of the industry will be using DVB-S2X. 13

14 What is your most compelling reason to implement DVB-S2X? 13% Reduce costs of bandwidth (reduce cost per channel or reduce overall space segment) I need more throughput in my network 27% I want to launch UHDTV services I donʼt know what the benefits are 7% 1% Reduce the cost of my antenna and RF electronics Improve my service availability without additional cost 11% 2 It becomes mandatory (because of regulations) It is a natural evolution 58% will use DVB-S2X to get higher throughput, to launch UHDTV services or to reduce costs. When do you think you ll be UHDTV ready? 4% 4% Already Within 6 months 27% Within 1 year More than a yearʼs time 2 Only as soon as 4K becomes widely accepted within my market I don't know 29% Will not adapt to 4K in the coming 3 years Only a small percentage is now ready for UHDTV, which will change in over a year s time. 14 Results of this survey are Newtec
