Why Mobile Satellite Broadband?

anytime, anywhere!

In an all-connected world with data traffic exploding, demand for satcoms keeps increasing.Satellite/terrestrial networks integration/convergence (IMT/5G)

Sector trends extend to satcoms

Fixed and mobile network deployment continuing globally

Need for ubiquitous, reliable connectivity

On the move | In remote areas | For Redundancy

Increasing satellitecommunications connections

Global Internet traffic increasing towards 5G

Maritime

Broadband service provision tailored to the needs of the maritime industry including:• The crew: efficient and reliable pre-paid

voice and internet browsing, improving crew welfare, training and interaction with shore facilities

• Ship management: extending state of the art IT functions to the ship, including monitoring of cargo and mechanical functions on board the ship

• Safety and security features, such as video monitoring, access to real-time weather and updated navigation charts

Broadband connectivity: a life changer for people at sea

The continued growth of the Ka-band satellite systems˃ As C and Ku band are becoming more and more extensively used, one will find

that many new broadband and telecommunication satellites will also increasingly deploy Ka-band (including 27.5-30GHz) technology in the coming years

˃ Today: over 60 GEO civil Ka-band satellite systems. • By 2020-2022 - in excess of over 100 GEO Ka-band satellite

systems.˃ Today: 2 non-GEO civil Ka-band satellite systems. • By 2020-2022 - likely be 3 to 4 operational Global Non-GEO Ka-

band satellite systems˃ Sustainable & viable access to Ka-band spectrum to enable satellite growth.• 29.5-30.0GHz: ESIMs (Earth Stations in Motion) – New Footnote 5.527A &

Resolution 156 (WRC-15) • 27.5-29.5GHz: Agenda Item 1.5 (WRC-19) – Resolution 168

Example: Brazil’s National Broadband Plan (PNBL)SGDC satellite (TELEBRAS) to provide Ka-band broadband connectivity

• Orbital location: 75oW• Ka-band transponders: 50• Spot beams: 48 small + 19 large• Total capacity: 54 GB/s• Manufacturer: Thales-Alenia Space

Regions with low density of broadband access:- Large territorial extension- Difficult physical access- Without available infrastructure

Satellite broadband connectivity:- Large coverage- Easy implementation- Lower cost

Capacity Capacity

Suitable spectrum allocated to satellite services should be protected in order to support global mobile broadband and allow expansion: key enabler for economic and societal benefits.Authorisation for visiting foreign user terminals:

• fundamental aspect to allow global operations• based also on the principle of mutual recognition of authorisations issued by other countriesLicense for domestic user terminals • Domestic operation is very well suited by what is normally called class/network/blanket license. In

other words, a license that authorizes a “family” of terminals with similar characteristics.• Suitable for ubiquitous terminals • Greatly simplifies the task for all parties involved.Clarity and transparency in the national licensing framework Fundamental for the entire process. Lack of this has an adverse impact on service deployment. Ultimately, a disadvantage for all parties involved.Reasonable fees not to hamper service deployment

Regulatory aspects

˃ Need for Mobile Satellite Broadband: a proven and expanding requirement that integrates and expand terrestrial broadband provision.

˃ Rapidly growing number of Ka-band satellite networks.˃ Inmarsat is well positioned to satisfy and anticipate market

demand˃ Appropriate spectrum policy and national authorisations are

essential for effective service deployment
