QoS Enhancements Benefits Reduces bandwidth to keep idle remotes in network Improves efficiency while maintaining network reliability Do not have to reacquire into network like sleep mode Guaranteed SLAs

New cost-effective, compact, and low-power remotes iDX 3.1 Summary New cost-effective, compact, and low-power remotes New web interface for easier installation Improved Return Channel Economics with a narrowband line card Non-contention based for improved efficiency and network reliability Leverage your iDirect infrastructure for large, narrowband applications

iDX 3.2 Highlights

iDX 3.2 & X7: XPECT MORE! Network Control and Efficiency Adaptive TDMA returns Outbound DVB-S2 roll off enhancement Performance with X7 Significant increase in performance High end features for demanding use cases

Adaptive TDMA Overview Before Inroute Groups (IRG) consisted of homogeneous carriers In iDX 3.2 IRG can consist of heterogeneous carriers Benefits Enables terminals to achieve their max speed No need to assume the worst case scenario Greater dynamic range in network design Different symbol rates Different MODCODs Different SS factors

Adaptive TDMA Higher Control and Efficiency Optimize network performance in any condition Up to three dynamic “profiles” or compositions Clear sky Fade Heavy fade (a safety net) Benefits Margin is converted to bandwidth efficiency Availability is maintained via dynamic profiles Unprecedented control to fulfill SLAs

Outbound Enhancement Reduced Roll Off Factor New, selectable roll-off factor Options include 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% (existing) Dependent on carrier size Example: 36MHz Transponder Increase usable symbol rate by 4Msps Benefits 10Mbps gains in IP throughput in 36 MHz TXP Up to 13% gain in outbound throughput for <36 MHz 20% ROF 5% ROF 34Msps 30Msps DVB-S2 Outbound (full transponder) DVB-S2 Outbound (full transponder) 36MHz

Introducing X7 “The Need for Speed” Insatiable demand for connectivity “Enterprises, organizations and consumers are devouring satellite bandwidth as quickly as service provides can deliver it.” -Simon Bull, COMSYS, Sep’12 Noticeable in key applications Cruise & Super-Yacht Off-Shore Drilling Macrocells Mining More bandwidth intensive applications Demand for more bandwidth continues to grow

X7 Overview Improved PPS Next generation remote optimized for mobile, enterprise grade, bandwidth intensive applications Multiple Image Embedded Web I/F Console Port 19” 1RU Chassis Dual DVB-S2 Demodulators Multiple AC/DC Power Supply Options ATDMA/SCPC Return Channel Embedded 8-port VLAN Aware Switch

iDX 3.2 Launch Plan iDX 3.2.0 – (Limited Availability Release) Support for X7 HLC support limited to XLC-10/ XLC-M Heterogeneous carriers, 1 composition group iDX 3.2.1 – (GA Release) Extend support to all Evolution remotes Extend support to XLC-11, eMxDx HLCs Expand from 1 to 3 composition groups iDX 3.2.2 – (GA Release) X7 support for SCPC Return and 2nd Demod

iDX 3.2 Summary Performance Refined Network Control Success is Yours Enable terminals to achieve their max speed Fuel bandwidth intensive applications Refined Network Control Margin is converted to bandwidth efficiency Availability maintained via dynamic profiles More control to achieve SLAs Success is Yours More throughput enables higher performance services Opens up new revenue streams Greater efficiencies means lower bandwidth costs
