Introduction to KA-SAT Page - 4
The Eutelsat KA-SAT Satellite Launched End of December 2010 Operational in May 2011 Orbital position: 9 E Frequency band: Ka Page - 5
Multispot Ka-Band Coverage Coverage: 82 beams Full European Coverage Total capacity: 70 Gbps (up to 475Mbps per Spot) Page - 6
The KA-SAT main Target An integrated system for the provision of Broadband Internet Connectivity to residential users via bidirectional affrodable User Terminals KA-SAT @ 9 East Tooway Kit Page - 7
Multispot Ka-Band Coverage 82 Beams 4 Colours = 4 Freq/Pol Slots repeated all over coverage Frequencies are reused 20 times Coverage: 82 beams Full European Coverage Total capacity: 70 Gbps (up to 475Mbps per Spot) Page - 8
A closer look to a Beam Each Single Beam is fed via KA-SAT with ~250 MHz of Bandwidth (called also FWD Capacity) 19,7 20,2 GHz FWD ~250 MHz Page - 9
A closer look to a Beam Each Single Beam is fed via KA-SAT with ~250 MHz of Bandwidth (called also FWD Capacity) RTN ~250 MHz 29,5 30 GHz Terminals within a Beam have available ~250 MHz of RTN Capacity for transmitting back to KA- SAT There are 82 Beams from KA-SAT. As each one is fed with ~250 MHz of bandwidth, it comes that KA-SAT Satellite must be fed with 82 x 250 MHz ~ 20 GHz (!) Page - 10
How is it possible to Feed KA-SAT with 20 GHz of Info? It is possible only reusing more than one time the same Slot of Frequency (example: 10 times the same slot of 2 GHz) Page - 11

News Gathering via Satellite and the IP Revolution: why is KA-SAT so innovative for SNG? Page - 17
OU Data Gathering: Ka Advantages 1st Consideration: EFP (Electronic Field Production) equipment are becoming cheaper and cheaper (they have become already, actually ) ~35-80 k ~3-8 k Page - 18
OU Data Gathering: Ka Advantages 2nd Consideration: The EFP/ENG WorkFlow has moved from Tape to Memory-Card with - again - significant reductions in cost and a seamless integration into IP networks Page - 19
OU Data Gathering: Ka Advantages Result: EFP production requires today a very limited investment and is seamlessly integrated into IP Networks; EFP systems can today be deployed in large volumes by Broadcasters due to their improved affordability + + = Light + Cheap + IP So, Broadcasters are looking for Cheap and Light systems, providing IP connectivity, as an ideal complement of today s EFP System for News Gathering Page - 20

Accessing the Bandwidth: Booking Page - 59
Booking The Service is fully operated by Skylogic, the Italian Subsdiary of Eutelsat based in Turin Skylogic NOC also provides Support in case of Troubleshooting Page - 60
Booking Web-based Self-Booking Each Customer is provided with access to a Service Webportal (OSS) The portal provides informations on all terminals belonging to the Customer Alive, Off, Configuration, Rate, Beam etc... Page - 61
Booking Booking is done on the web via the Skylogic OSS Portal The Customer specifies The User Terminal he uses (each UT is uniquely identified by its MAC Address) The location from where he will be doing the Contribution (used to determine the Beam) NOTE: NewsSpotter Terminals are not limited to work from a single Beam, they can work from ALL of the Beams ( Beamless Configuration) The Timeslot of the Contribution The Bitrate he requires on the RTN and on the FWD link If the Terminal is not Booked, it will still get connectivity and will be forwarded to the OSS Booking page This allows the SNG to go on site in case of Breaking News, deploy the antenna, and perform an immediate booking Page - 62

Commercial Model We are not selling MHz, we are selling GBytes The Customer pays the transferred Volume instead of the Frequency slot used Example 1 hour of transfer @ 4Mbps = 1.8 GBytes Volume transferred in 1 hour Time to transfer 1 GB Transfer bit-rate Volume transferred Transfer bit-rate Time to transfer 1 Mbps 0.45 GB 2 Mbps 0.9 GB 4 Mbps 1.8 GB 8 Mbps 3.6 GB 12 Mbps 5.4 GB 1 Mbps 2h13 2 Mbps 1h07 4 Mbps 33 min 8 Mbps 17 min 12 Mbps 11 min Page - 66
Commercial Model The Service can be marketed in 2 main modes Occasional Use Committed via Booking Permanently Reserved CIR per Beam (IP Connect) Page - 67
1 - Commercial Model - Occasional Use via Booking The Customer purchases Volume, and he uses it little by little when doing contribution with its fleet of terminals It s like filling a tank with gasoline The faster the car, the higher the Gasoline consumption (the higher the transmission rate, the higher the volume consumed) Increased flexibility A terminal can work at different speed on different dates The individual Terminal does not have any FAP The model foresee monthly Traffic Plans Monthly plan specifies a monthly volume The higher the Volume engagement of the Plan, the lower the price The sum of the volume used during the month by Customer Fleet will be accounted and billed out of the Monthly Plan Page - 68
Ka 1 - Commercial Model - Occasional Use via Booking 1 hour @ 4 Mbit (perfect for SD) uses 1.8 GBytes Thus 1 hour of SD contribution @ 4 Mbit costs from ~32.8 to ~109.35 Ku Price vary a lot on the basis of timeslot (Primetime, Daytime, Nightime) Price vary a lot on the basis of commitment On average, one hour of 4 MHz (~4Mbit) cost ~ 150 Thus, KA costs from 2/3 to 1/5 the price of Ku Page - 71
