KA-SAT, THE ‘80 GB/S GORILLA’ THE BIGGEST HTS IN THE SKY TODAY

2

KA-SAT, the biggest HTS in the sky today

35 x more capacity than traditional satellites35 x more capacity than traditional satellites

3

Digital Divide: an immediate issue

Impacts economic growth, corporate efficiency, job creation, social inclusion

A priority endorsed by EU27 (Broadband For All in 2013)

Initiatives: France Numérique 2012, Digital Britain, National Broadband Scheme (Ireland)

30 million households in Europe have less than 2 Mbps broadband Of which 13 million with dial-up Internet

access

How big is Europe’s digital divide?Why is broadband important?

4

Why is there a digital divide?

Cost of roll-out of terrestrial technologies in dispersed areas increases with remoteness E.g. fiber: 10-20 times higher for the last 10-20% of population

5

A full integrated system, satellite and ground segment

Satellite: 70 Gb/s on KA-SAT, thanks to Ka-band spectrum Multi-spot beams (82) High frequency reuse (20 times)

…with a very effective ground technology 10 gateways all over Europe linked to the main European PoP

and Internet backbone ViaSat SurfBeam 2 technology

Operators of HTS need to manage the full infrastructureOperators of HTS need to manage the full infrastructure

Conclusion

Reducing the Digital Divide for social and economic development

Consumer market demand exceeds supply

A big innovation not only for satellite industry Lower cost to connect remote locations Users beyond terrestrial networks can access broadband now Network extension for universal access

Infrastructure build-out: more gorillas to come, e.g. ViaSat-1, new opportunities for the industry

Eutelsat is evolving towards a long-term strategy combining both types of satellites (triple play, etc) for its customers
