Introduction• DVB-RCS is mandated by the Russian government for government

applications.• Advantech has four networks deployed in Russian Federation with:

– Gascom– Morsviasputnik (Marsat)– USTTelecom– GEO Telecom

• Russian VSAT deployments have slowed recently due to a scarcity of space segment.

• New satellites being launched by Gascom will alleviate that problem and revitalize VSAT activity.

• Russia and its government action is a good example of the rapid progress of DVB-RCS acceptance in countries other than Western Europe and North America.

• This together with the progress of DVB-RCS with the US DOD are the two best kept DVB-RCS secrets.

Advantech DVB-RCS Deployments

• Advantech has deployed approximately 80 Hubs worldwide.

• 20 of those hubs are now operating DVB-RCS/DVB-S2.• Many hubs have small numbers of terminals <100.• Some have larger numbers with the largest being 2,500

terminals.• Regions of greatest activity have been North Africa,

Russia, Eastern Europe (Former CIS), Middle East and Mediterranean.

• Applications have ranged from Banking, Education, Rural Telephony (VoIP) to Enterprise and Defence.

Marsat DVB-RCS Network

• Started in 2005 by Contract with EMS SatNet (Hub+100 SIT).

• Put into operation in 2006.• Space segment – Express-AM2 satellite (80E) 12 MHz Ku

band.• Q3-2007 more than 50 customers (mainly Banks,

Government, Transport & Shipping companies).• Planned modernization – Q4-2007 (MESH& DVB-S2).

Marsat DVB-RCS Network Planned 2007 Modernization

17

Central Bank Trials on Marsat Networks

• Fulfilled during 2006-beginning 2007.• To verify and approve of DVB-RCS utilization for the

planned to use new banking processing technology (RTGS – Real-Time Gross Settlement) including security procedures.

• Successfully completed in Q3 2007.

Current Central Bank Satellite Network

• In operation since 1997.• Based on NEC (Japan) & Visat-Tel (Russia) VSAT

technology.• Includes 3 Satellite networks – “Banker-1”, “Banker-2”,

“Banker-3” contains 758 VSATs installed in 66 regions of Russian Federation (11 time zones).

• Leased 193,7 MHz space segment (Intelsat, Express, Yamal satellite networks).

• Needs to be modified due to forthcoming changing in banking processing technology – start of utilization of Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS).

Central Bank (CB) Upgrade• To be based on DVB-RCS/DVB-S2.• Needed to upgrade for new application and replace obsolete

NEC equipment.• Conversion planned in Phases:• Trial Phase- Prove banking application on Marsat system –

completed.• Phase 1 – Establish Mesh connection between the two CB

processing centers using an overlay to the Marsat Hub in Moscow.

• Phase 2 – Establish two DVB-RCS hubs in CB processing locations and expand to a second satellite.

• Phase 3 – Full replacement of all CB locations utilizing an integrated CD/Marsat network and up to four satellites. Also integrate with Marsats L Band mobile network.

• Team of Central Bank/Vsat-Tel/Marsat and Advantech to implement the network solution.

Summary and Conclusion

• DVB-RCS/DVB-S2 is being widely deployed in the Russian Federation.

• Government applications are leading the way.• Banking is a key sector where satellite technology is utilized.• Central Bank is committed to DVB-RCS/DVB-S2.• Marsat, a traditional L-Band company, is now integrating KU

Band DVB-RCS with L-Band BGAN.
