Profit margin of satellite manufacturers have disappeard

New technologies can be introduced in two years

Manufacturers will face a heavy burden to demonstrate that new technology isreliable

Operators are not willing to pay for new technologies, they can do a lot withexisting technology

Consolidation of Operators is a way to survive in the short term

Introduction of new services – diversification - is a way to achieve growing business

ANIK F1

Launched on 21 November 2000 by an ARIANNE 44L

Telesat Canada has selected Europe’s Astrium to supply a replacement for its defective AnikF1 satellite, which is based on the troubled 702 platform built by Boeing Satellite Systems.

Telesat’s announcement is the first new commercial satellite order announced in 2003, a year in which satellite manufacturers are hoping for at least a modest rebound from the dismal results of 2002, one of the worst years ever for the commercial satellite industry.

The contract, announced Feb. 4, also reflects a shift for Ottawa-based Telesat, which has purchased a number of satellites over the past few years from U. S. suppliers including Boeing

of El Segundo, Calif., and Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems, Newtown, Pa.

Anik F2 is one of several Boeing’s 702 satellites already in orbit t hat are afflicted with a solar

panel malady that is expected to shorten each spacecraft’s lifetime. Boeing has determined the cause of the problem and

newer 702 spacecraft will not be affected, according to the satellite manufacturer’s president, Randy Brinkley.

Telesat’s new satellite, dubbed Anik F1R, will carry 24 C-band and 32 Ku-band transponders and is expected to be launched in 2005. The satellite is based on Astrium’s Eurostar E3000 platform, and it will include a substantial amount of equipment from Canadian suppliers, according to a Feb. 4 Telesat statement.

Anik F1 was launched in late 2000 to an orbital slot at 107.3 degrees west longitude, where it serves users in North and South America.

ANIK F1R

• Anik F3 primary aim is coverage of Anik F2 in Ka Band

• Anik F2 will introduce DVB-RCS services to Canadians in the Ka Band

• Anik F2 piggy back payload has limited networking capabilities

• The West program has taken the Anik F2 concept to the next step

• Industry needs a mechanism to demonstrate the West concept in a flight mission

• European primes are in a good position for Anik F3

• Anik F3 could host a demonstration

• This could tie in with the later launch of an operational Canadian SecureSat based on proven DVB-RCS technology

• Anik F3 could be the Canadian Payload of a joint Canadian/ESA GEO Cluster networking demonstration

Objective: To replace LNB by iLNB for 50 €For iTV Application

SATMODE Competi tors

Interactive television by satellite competes with the following existing terrestrial channels:56K modem, GSM, GPRS, xDSL and ISDN and cable modem.

From the consumer point of view, iTV over satellite has the following advantages :- Ease to install (wiring the set-top box to the PSTN, sometimes distant, can be an issue)- The PSTN line remains available- ITV over satellite provides an « always -on » solution- No PSTN link is needed (in reference to the general trend to keep only GSM service and to stop

fixed telephone services)

From the broadcaster and Service Provider point of view :- Additional revenue from new services- Piracy control- Audience metering and statistics

Increase of forward bandwidth
