for Cellular Backhaul 10
The Role of Fixed Satellite Services for Cellular Backhaul (2000-2011) Satellite options of today: Provide last-mile connectivity required to reach the most remote locations Foster population welfare and improved quality of life Allow for rapid deployment Provide resiliencies needed to meet SLAs at edges of hybrid networks Standard kits to support BTS-BSC link: C-band: 2.4m antenna / 20W HPA Ku-band: 1.2m antenna / 5W HPA 11
Roles of Fiber, Microwave and Satellite to Support Cellular Backhaul Requirements Fiber best for densely populated areas - Links of 1 mile or less Microwave and satellite mix best for sparsely populated areas, medium or long links - Fuel and security elements contribute significantly to microwave TCO Satellite best for sparsely populated areas / long distances 12
The Role of Intelsat Epic NG for Cellular Backhaul With 3G and 4G Networks, Intelsat Epic NG Provides high throughputs required to support increased per-user and backhaul bandwidth requirements Allocates bandwidth dynamically for asymmetric multimedia requirements through application specific routing Allows load sharing of links in times of high traffic load per site and/or congestion in network Intelsat Epic NG Alters Total Cost of Ownership New economics lower revenue per site barriers Support thin routes with low ARPU users Smaller CPE footprint allows low-power solar options Provides viability to use satellite links as primary/backup solutions for backbone links due to increased throughputs and better economics 13
Bridging from Today s FSS Solution to Intelsat Epic NG SCPC & TDMA Unit Shipments Intelsat Epic NG provides comparable economics to microwave solutions Over 50,000 satellite modem purchases between 2012-2015 to support cellular backhaul New equipment plus legacy purchases are compatible with Intelsat Epic NG Purchasing decisions need not be pushed out until new platform available 14
for Mobility Applicatons 15
Staying Connected in the Air and at Sea Today s beams are designed predominantly for land mass coverage: Majority of beam over land Mobility requirements compete with other markets for capacity Antenna size and throughput needs unmet Optimized coverage is at the expense of performance: Broadening the beam (and its appeal) diminishes throughput Majority of coverage not required for preponderance of traffic Throughput or coverage? You choose 16
No Need for Compromises Focused, high throughput coverage for key routes: Required throughput Lower terminal costs Open architecture Coverage, performance, control of economics No Compromises Optimized coverage providing super high throughput: Fulfills unmet throughput needs Required availability performance Existing platform and terminal equipment Improved economics Integrated with IntelsatONE SM 17
