Closer look atthe Caribbean
IS-29e: Ku-band User Beams + DTH Beam +Steerable Beams + Channelizer

IS-29e: Throughput per Transponder into a 1m. Terminal on NGS in the Caribbean
These spots have 2transponders each and therefore are capable of providing over 675 Mbps each

forCellular Backhaul

The Role of Fixed Satellite Services for Cellular Backhaul (2000-2011)
Standard kits to support BTS-BSC link:
C-band: 2.4m antenna / 20W HPA
Ku-band: 1.2m antenna / 5W HPA
• Satellite options of today:– Provide last-mile connectivity
required to reach the most remote locations
– Foster population welfare and improved quality of life
– Allow for rapid deployment
– Provide resiliencies needed to meet SLAs at edges of hybrid networks
12
Fiber best for densely populated areas- Links of 1 mile or less
Satellite best for sparsely populated areas / long distances
Microwave and satellite mix best for sparsely populated areas, medium or long links- Fuel and security elements contribute significantly to microwave TCO
Roles of Fiber, Microwave and Satellite to Support Cellular Backhaul Requirements
13
The Role of Intelsat EpicNG for Cellular BackhaulWith 3G and 4G Networks, Intelsat EpicNG
• Provides high throughputs required to support increased per-user and backhaul bandwidth requirements
• Allocates bandwidth dynamically for asymmetric multimedia requirements through application specific routing
• Allows load sharing of links in times of high traffic load per site and/or congestion in network
Intelsat EpicNG Alters Total Cost of Ownership• New economics lower revenue per site barriers
• Support thin routes with low ARPU users• Smaller CPE footprint allows low-power solar options
• Provides viability to use satellite links as primary/backup solutions for backbone links due to increased throughputs and better economics
14
Bridging from Today’s FSS Solution to Intelsat EpicNG
• Over 50,000 satellite modem purchases between 2012-2015 to support cellular backhaul
– New equipment plus legacy purchases are compatible with Intelsat EpicNG
– Purchasing decisions need not be pushed out until new platform available
SCPC & TDMA Unit Shipments
Intelsat EpicNG provides comparable economics to microwave solutions

forMobility Applicatons

Staying Connected … in the Air and at SeaToday’s beams are designed predominantly for land mass coverage:• Majority of beam over land• Mobility requirements compete with
other markets for capacity• Antenna size and throughput needs
unmet
Optimized coverage is at the expense of performance:• Broadening the beam (and its appeal)
diminishes throughput• Majority of coverage not required for
preponderance of traffic
Throughput or coverage? You choose
17
No Need for Compromises
Focused, high throughput coverage for key routes:• Required throughput• Lower terminal costs• Open architecture
Coverage, performance, control of economics No Compromises
Optimized coverage providing super high throughput:• Fulfills unmet throughput needs• Required availability performance• Existing platform and terminal
equipment• Improved economics• Integrated with IntelsatONESM
