Risk mitigation Response

Real-time data monitoring and

collectionRisk reduction and mitigation


Risk mitigationReal time access to critical data for remote monitoringThe Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS), deployed BGAN to:

Improve forecasting mechanisms of earthquakes and tsunamis more reliably

Collect, process, analyse and archive data on tectonic plate movements in the region

Data collected at its GPS permanent stations need to be transmitted via satellite telemetry to EOS

Also helped to monitor the working condition of the GPS receivers

Inform EOS of the electrical health of the power system’s charge controller


Emergency responseImpact of satcoms in emergency response

Enabled TSF to reconnect families across the world and provide priority phone calls to connect families

TSF during first stage emergency response in Philippines

5 Telecom centres deployed in minutes

Emergency responders connected simultaneously in the direct aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan

50+

25,000People reconnected throughout the Philippines in 2013


Emergency reliefThe Instant Network in a backpack

Vodafone Foundation Instant NetworkMini developed with TSF using BGAN

High mobility and rapid deployment capacity

Provide GSM connectivity in the most isolated areas of the world

Allowing for calls and messaging, including SMS or USSD-based solutions like cash transfer or mobile data collection

Designed to provide key GSM network features anywhere

Using the Inmarsat BGAN connection as the IP backhaul


Welfare communicationsEssential to community self-organization and recovery

Satellite telephony

Text and email messaging

Longest battery life in industry • Talk time 8 hours, standby time up to 160 hours

GPS location data – view position and text

Tracking button

Assistance button

Incoming call alerts with antenna stowed

Bluetooth for hands-free use

IK04 and IP65

Transflective display with Gorilla glass


Sustainable development aidEmpowering affected communities

Provision of connectivity in the immediate aftermath of disasters in minutes

Use your own device

Improve information sharing, monitoring and evaluation

Enable other forms of aid, i.e. cash transfer and eHealth

Manage access by data type, usage type or per user, thus controlling cost

Wi-Fi and User ID management on the control appit is easy to share

With IP65 rating and up to 100 metre Wi-Fi radius


Capacity and Speed

Resilience and Safety

L-band• Up to 492 kbps

• Global

• Resilient, all-weather solution

• Supports safety services

• True broadband

• Relatively uncrowded spectrum

• Ability to quickly add bandwidth for high demand

Ka-band

Platform that enables same applications and solutions as used in the home office in remote

locations

Future innovative solutionsAdding Ka-band services to L-band portfolio


Future innovative solutionsThe space segment

3+1 satellites designed and built byBoeing Satellite Systems

Global Service Beam (GSB) Payload• 89 spot beams per satellite (up to 72

active)• 32 MHz bandwidth per GSB in forward

and return directions, 7-color frequency reuse

High Capacity Payload (HCP) Overlay• 6 steerable high-power beams• 8 commercial channels each with 100

MHz channelisation in forward and return directions

• Interoperable with global beams


Future innovative solutionsSeamless global coverage

Single operator

Seamless handover within and between satellite regions

Designed for mobility

Global coverage, with commercial Ka-band complemented by L-band

The only hybrid satellite network that combines Ka- and

L-band technology to provide consistent global coverage
