Why Mobile Satellite Broadband? People want to use these.. anytime, anywhere!

Sector trends extend to satcoms In an all-connected world with data traffic exploding, demand for satcoms keeps increasing. Satellite/terrestrial networks integration/convergence (IMT/5G) Fixed and mobile network deployment continuing globally Global Internet traffic increasing towards 5G Petabytes per month 2013 2015 2018 51 76 132 Source: Cisco VNI Mobile 2014 Need for ubiquitous, reliable connectivity On the move | In remote areas | For Redundancy Need for more capacity and services Capacity & speed | Data-rich solutions & apps | Security Increasing satellite communications connections Increasing bandwidth and services by connection

Mobile Satellite Broadband Markets Customers on land, at sea and in the air Maritime Enterprise/Energy Aviation Government Affordable broadband connectivity with mobility for land, maritime and aviation users Mission-critical communications where terrestrial networks are unreliable or don’t exist

Aviation Clear consumer call for connectivity

Maritime Broadband connectivity: a life changer for people at sea Broadband service provision tailored to the needs of the maritime industry including: The crew: efficient and reliable pre-paid voice and internet browsing, improving crew welfare, training and interaction with shore facilities Ship management: extending state of the art IT functions to the ship, including monitoring of cargo and mechanical functions on board the ship Safety and security features, such as video monitoring, access to real-time weather and updated navigation charts

The continued growth of the Ka-band satellite systems As C and Ku band are becoming more and more extensively used, one will find that many new broadband and telecommunication satellites will also increasingly deploy Ka-band (including 27.5-30GHz) technology in the coming years Today: over 60 GEO civil Ka-band satellite systems. By 2020-2022 - in excess of over 100 GEO Ka-band satellite systems. Today: 2 non-GEO civil Ka-band satellite systems. By 2020-2022 - likely be 3 to 4 operational Global Non-GEO Ka-band satellite systems Sustainable & viable access to Ka-band spectrum to enable satellite growth. 29.5-30.0GHz: ESIMs (Earth Stations in Motion) – New Footnote 5.527A & Resolution 156 (WRC-15) 27.5-29.5GHz: Agenda Item 1.5 (WRC-19) – Resolution 168

Example: Brazil’s National Broadband Plan (PNBL) SGDC satellite (TELEBRAS) to provide Ka-band broadband connectivity Orbital location: 75oW Ka-band transponders: 50 Spot beams: 48 small + 19 large Total capacity: 54 GB/s Manufacturer: Thales-Alenia Space Regions with low density of broadband access: Large territorial extension Difficult physical access Without available infrastructure Satellite broadband connectivity: Large coverage Easy implementation Lower cost

Regulatory aspects Suitable spectrum allocated to satellite services should be protected in order to support global mobile broadband and allow expansion: key enabler for economic and societal benefits. Authorisation for visiting foreign user terminals: fundamental aspect to allow global operations based also on the principle of mutual recognition of authorisations issued by other countries License for domestic user terminals Domestic operation is very well suited by what is normally called class/network/blanket license. In other words, a license that authorizes a “family” of terminals with similar characteristics. Suitable for ubiquitous terminals Greatly simplifies the task for all parties involved. Clarity and transparency in the national licensing framework Fundamental for the entire process. Lack of this has an adverse impact on service deployment. Ultimately, a disadvantage for all parties involved. Reasonable fees not to hamper service deployment

Conclusions Mobile Broadband: Space Perspective Need for Mobile Satellite Broadband: a proven and expanding requirement that integrates and expand terrestrial broadband provision. Rapidly growing number of Ka-band satellite networks. Inmarsat is well positioned to satisfy and anticipate market demand Appropriate spectrum policy and national authorisations are essential for effective service deployment
