Meeting the Broadband Challenge
Between 2004 and 2007, Telesat launched three satellites with extensive coverage of Canada’s North:
• Anik F2
• Anik F3
• Anik F1R
C-band delivers high power and extremely reliable capacity over Canada’s North
C-band will continue to play a role in Canada and other satcom markets worldwide, but the industry is rapidly evolving toward greater use of new spectrum, such as Ka-band, and new high throughput satellite designs
Migrating to HTS • 2015 - Telesat’s T12V at 15oW covering South America and Europe • Provides Gbps capacity many times that of Anik satellites • Meeting new demands in the maritime and aeronautical markets • Huge potential to improve broadband for satellite users worldwide
Provide 72 C-band transponders of satellite

High Throughput Satellites
Satellite industry increasingly deploying High Throughput Satellites (HTS) and high throughput payloads in response to customers demanding more capacity at a lower cost per bit for internet connectivity
HTS deliver significantly increased throughput relative to conventional satellites by using multiple spot beams to achieve greater power per beam and frequency reuse reducing the cost per bit delivered
HTS are being deployed principally with Ku- and Ka-band payloads
Comparing High Throughput and Conventional Satellites
Conventional Satellite HTS
Provide large hemispheric or regional beams without frequency re-use or multiple spot beams
HTS almost exclusively make use of frequency re-use + multiple spot beams

Telesat’s GEO HTS Roadmap
3 HTS satellite programs underway T19V, T18V, T20V
Telstar 19V – Ku/Ka-band expansion satellite co-located with T14R at 63°W
• With our partners in the North, developed comprehensive coverage of satellite dependent communities of Canada’s North
• Under construction by Space Systems Loral launching on SpaceX Falcon 9 – Q2 2018
• 22 Gbps of capacity – 20x increase in capacity to the Nunavut communities
• Service providers building ground infrastructure in the those communities
• In-service Q3 2018
Telstar 18V – C/Ku band at 138oE for capacity in the Asian region
• SpaceX Falcon 9 launch in Q2 2018
• In-service Q3 2018
Telstar 20V – Ku/Ka/C and X/Ku bands at 109.2°W under development
• Enhanced coverage of Canada’s North, complementing T19V coverage
• Potentially doubling T19V capacity
