1 September 21, 2015 CANTO 2008 Satellite’s Role in Connecting the Caribbean

2 SES NEW SKIES  A global satellite communications provider, based in The Hague, the Netherlands  100% owned by SES, the world's premier satellite group  Operate a fleet of seven in-orbit satellites  Global presence:  The Hague (HQ)  Washington, D.C.  Singapore  Beijing  Sydney  Johannesburg  Sao Paulo

3 SES NEW SKIES’ satellite fleet 36 Satellites: 34 operated by wholly- owned subsidiaries and 2 through equity participations Located at 25 orbital positions

4 NSS-806 ‘Hotbird’ for the Americas  One of two leading satellites for Caribbean and Latin American program distribution  130 channel community reaches approximately 14 million homes and 4,500 cable headends across the region  Provides ‘single beam’ C-band coverage of Caribbean, Latin America and Western Europe - ideal for European broadcasters seeking Caribbean coverage (and vice-versa) NSS-806 Satellite Facts Orbital Location: 319.5  East Launch Date: 1998 EOL: 2016 Payload: C-band: 36 transponders Ku-band: 6 transponders Coverage: Americas, Caribbean and Western Europe

5 NSS-7 Unrivalled Atlantic Coverage  Distributed governmental and enterprise networks  Home to a historically strong African video neighborhood Reaches 3.5 million homes in Sub-Saharan Africa via DTH, MMDS and terrestrial retransmission Carries over 100 channels in 8 languages  338  East is one of the leading trans-Atlantic locations for permanent and OU/SNG feeds  Home to multiple GSM trunking networks across Africa, broadband circuits in the Caribbean and South America. NSS-7 Satellite Facts Orbital Position: 338  East Launch Date: 2002 EOL: 2016 Payload: C-band: 49 transponders Ku-band: 48 transponders Coverage: Atlantic Ocean region, including the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East

6 Examples of End Customer Applications  Retail Networks Point-of-Sale (PoS) Banking, inventory Lottery/Gaming Reservations  Corporate Networks Internet/Intranet access Corporate voice File transfers Video-conferencing  Government Services Secure Global communications Remote command Remote surveillance  Rural Telephony and Network Extensions PSTN extensions GSM Trunking Payphones WLL interconnections Oil/Gas Exploration Scientific Data transfer  High-speed Internet access Browsing E-mail Internet trunking E-commerce VoIP Termination  Video DTH platforms IPTV platforms

7 Connecting the Caribbean  Connect the Caribbean Objective: “Connecting the Unconnected by 2015”  Caribbean Geography Demands Satellite Connectivity Small Island States Subject to weather related disasters which stress terrestrial based infrastructure Rural and remote areas with limited connectivity Low cost applications

8 Broadband Access  Large projects aimed at closing the “Digital Divide”  Internet cafés – Hot spots  Remote GSM and WiMax sites  Incomplete coverage of existing terrestrial fiber, copper or wireless networks  Rural networks  Multi tenants – condominiums  Add value to future DTH and IPTV systems

9 Examples of current networks  GSM Backhaul Network in the South Pacific Islands Digital circuits connecting cell sites in Samoa, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and Fiji 10 sites C-band  Rural Telephony Network in the Dominican Republic Voice network for pay-phones 500 sites Ku-band  Broadband Network for Remote Schools in Nicaragua IP connectivity and educational content 60 sites C-band  Telemedicine in Haiti IP connectivity and videoconferencing 2 sites C-band

10 Terminals Are More Accurate and Efficient Skyware Ku Band 1 to 4W integrated TX/Rx ORUs HNS Direcway integrated terminalWildblue Ka Band consumer terminal using Raven 66cm antenna and US Monolithics 3W ORU Nera DVB RCS terminal indoor unit

11 What Was…

12 What’s New…  Market Status: Expansion of commercial shipping and recreational maritime segments Resuscitation of Aeronautical market  What SES NEW SKIES does today Work with our customers MTN-SeaLink, Broadband Maritime, Telenor etc. to provision broadband solutions to ocean-going vessels  Future Opportunities Continue to work with customers and value- chain customers to support the growth of truly global mobile broadband networks Broadband Mobile Platforms Mobile Media Market Value of Mobile TV market* Global Market CAGR: 72.9% in € billion  Market Status: DMB-S has had success in Japan/Korea DVB-H is being adopted in Europe and several other Emerging Markets  What SES does today Exploratory SOLARIS JV with Eutelsat to explore S-band payload to support DVB-H services in Europe (feeder and direct-to- handset)  Future Opportunities We see strong potential in Satellite feeder links to 3G base-stations and DVB-H repeaters

13 What’s Needed…  All satellite operators need spectrum to deliver their services  Our evolving technology uses it more efficiently and cost-effectively  Regulatory environment must be predictable  Regulators must safeguard the delivery mechanisms of satellites…  …as for other critical infrastructure

14 Example: C-Band Use in the Caribbean  3.4 – 4.2 GHz  Backhaul services for telecoms networks  Point-to-point trunking  Government and strategic communications  High-volume data and broadcast transmission  Rural telephony services  Avionics  Maritime services  ‘Lifeblood of the satellite industry’

15 Can Satellites Share C-band With Other Technologies? Example: WiMax…  …150km exclusion zone needed  Exclusion zones are dependent on terrain type and may need to be much bigger  Many users are not listed so creating exclusion zones is often impossible

16 Conclusions  SES New Skies: committed to increasing service over the Caribbean  Significant expansion of its fleet planned in the next 3 years  Caribbean customer growth foreseen for long term for…  …Broadband, government, and safety services  Satellite use of spectrum must be preserved to ensure continued connectivity  Satellite use of C band should be safeguarded in particular  New technologies must be implemented in a way that preserves existing services
