Agenda

• INTELSAT: Legacy of Innovation

• Onboard communications: an evolution

• INTELSAT: Today and into the future

• High Throughput Satellite (HTS)

• Key Considerations

Largest satellite operator in terms of

revenue ($2.6B in 2013) and capacity

Global fleet of more than 50 in-

service satellites covering 99% of

the Earth’s populated regions

Our fleet is complemented by the

IntelsatOne network, which consists

of more than 36,000 miles of fiber

that connects our Teleports and

PoPs

Intelsat is the World’s Leading Provider of Commercial Satellite Services

• Focus shift from cost to value

• Legacy • Communications separate from

ship operations • Focus on limiting costs • shipboard functions retrofitted to

the available technology

• Today and into the future • Current and future requirements

are driving design of next generation systems

• SPs looking to leverage and evolve existing investments into the future

• Vessel owners/operators looking to leverage investment to maximise operational efficiencies and ROI

• Increasing awareness of ROI vs. simply reducing costs

Considerations: Next Generation Satellite Service

• Throughput is the speed of information delivery (bits/sec), driven by: – Bandwidth (MHz) = The “size of the pipe”, increased by frequency reuse

– Efficiency (Bits/sec per MHz) = Amount of error-free content in the pipe

– Key distinction between “Performance in beam” vs “Performance at the vessel”

Throughput

11

Why Does Throughput Matter? • Rapid Growth in Demand

• Consumer-driven demand for broadband, anywhere on any device

• Broadband-centric business and government applications in all regions of the globe

• Service providers need to deliver solutions to address this demand

• High Throughput Satellite(HTS) platforms will change satellite’s role in the telecoms/ media infrastructure:

– Expand addressable geographic markets by delivering broadband everywhere

– Serve application segments with terrestrial-like economics

– Leverage satellite inherent strengths

12

Spectrum Choice – Why it Matters?

• Capacity selection has many considerations:

• Coverage and beam size

• Atmospheric conditions in the region that is being served

• Hardware

• Budgetary constraints

• Density of user population

• Applications, Environmental conditions, coverage and deployment concerns continue to drive technology choice C

Global Precipitation

What do the colors mean? Dark blue areas show where a lot of rain has fallen. Pale green to turquoise show increasing amounts of rainfall.

These maps show where and how much rain fell around the world on the dates shown. Notice that most rain falls near the equator. Notice also that more rain falls on the ocean than on land.

Key Considerations

How much bandwidth will you need in the next 15 years?

Applications drive solution choice. Will the chosen technology address the next “killer app” … whatever that may be?

Will you have a consistently high user experience wherever you may sail regardless of the weather?

Coverage and capability where you need it
