2. The ICT ecosystem
Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen, colleagues and friends
It is both a pleasure and a privilege to be here in beautiful Bhutan. Its my first visit and I have already adopted it as my second Home !
I would like to thank ITU and MOIC for their kind invitation and hospitality.
We live in a world which is rapidly advancing in digital technologies and bringing about vast changes to creating a `digital society’ wherever we happen to live!
As you can see from this chart – different connectivity technologies creates a Heterogeneous network that form our ICT ECOSYSTEM
Satellites are very much part of this Heterogeneous network and have certain qualities that gives them direct relevance and makes them a key technology. They are ubiquitous – one satellite can see and serve 1/3 of the earth’s population or you could a have `a high powered beam shaped to size of Bhutan’ and call it your own satellite system. - therefore they are key to providing connectivity everywhere, on land, on sea or in the air.
Today, a vast majority of us rely on our phones for almost everything and we take them for granted. But for so much of the world’s population, access to connectivity is not a given but it is definitely a life changer in many places in Bhutan.

7. 5GPPP vision (www.5G-PPP.eu)
“5G wireless will support a heterogeneous set of integrated air interfaces: from evolutions of current access schemes to brand new technologies. 5G networks will encompass cellular and satellite solutions. Seamless handover between heterogeneous wireless access technologies will be a native feature of 5G, as well as use of simultaneous radio access technologies to increase reliability and availability.”
“To achieve the expected capacity, coverage, reliability, latency and improvements in energy consumption, the 5G architecture is expected to run over a converged optical-wireless-satellite infrastructure for network access, backhauling and front hauling with the possibility of transmitting digital and modulated signals over the physical connections.”

11. Satellite Integration in a Converged 5G Ecosystem

12. Satellite Integration in 5G through Network slicing
The dividing lines between satellite and terrestrial networks are softening
Developments in terrestrial wireless networks and services are influencing the prospects for satellite integrated services
Today, the delivery of services and content over networks, operated by different entities, call for new types of partnership arrangements and for a unified end-to-end control and management
The transition to Network Function Visualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networks (SDN) not only facilitates the integration of network functions of different vendors, it also potentially facilitates the integration of different technologies onto the same platform to
Enable the delivery of high quality end to end performance to the final users;
Differentiate business models (e.g. introduces flexibility to enable new and innovative services and applications that were not envisaged when the network infrastructure was planned and deployed);
Improve business performance (including the reduction of operation costs and end user terminal pricing)
This means that satellite technology will “blend in” to the overall 5G network architecture, aligning its NFVs into the edge and core cloud infrastructures. As a consequence:
The network management service will manage the traffic directed to the satellite according to bandwidth, latency and other application requirements
Satellite technology could have its functions integrated at NFV level, creating a denser and more operable and scalable platform for a telecom operator. In combination with 5G “network slicing”, dedicated VNFs could address different connectivity concerns.
Remind that 5G requires a mix of technologies, each with its own characteristics and requirements
Highlight satellites provide often unique services thanks to global harmonization, vendors do not depend on global harmonization to reduce cost
Ultimately both technologies & their services are components of the future telecoms eco-system
