1 SatEC Satellite for Emergency Communications a TC SES working group Pierre Loyer Chairman

2 Creation  Officially created at the 68 th TC SES plenary meeting, Sept 06  Item 12 of the meeting report  “A first WI was created for a TR concerning an overview of resources for spectrum, access to capacity, regulations concerning satellite emergency communications.  “this first technical report should lead the way for a second TR devoted to system architecture.”  “The new chairman is Mr. Pierre Loyer from Alcatel.”

3 Terms of reference  Readable at  Scope of activity  “To perform standardization in the area of satellite emergency communication in particular involving broadband services.”  Liaison  “The WG will liaise with any relevant bodies, in particular with EMTEL and MESA”  MESA : “to inform MESA of the creation of this new WG”; ACTION SES A-68-6

4 First Work Item  See doc s68d54  Ref number DTR/SES  Supporters  Alcatel, HNS (Hugues Network Systems), Inmarsat, MTN (Maritme Telecommunication Networks, Associate member), SES ASTRA, BMWi (BundesMinisterium für Wirtschaft und Technik)  Rapporteur : P. Loyer  Deadline :  Satec approval (“approved in principle”) : 29/05/2007  TC SES approval (formal approval) : 29/06/07

5 Scope of the 1 st WI  Scope as per s68d54  Review of Spectrum allocation and Spectrum allocation studies, overview of access to commercial capacity, regulatory situation and perspective.  Overview of present satellite emergency communication systems architectures.  Recommendation to be derived from this overview.  Scope should emphasise on broadband To be discussed !

6 Scope of the 1 st WI  Other issues of of interest  Justification : the rise of the number of disasters and hazards  Missions –To provide a survey of the situation –To get support at distance –To coordinate with one another  User requirements Quick deployment Ease to use and transportability Interoperability  Main relevant technologies at hand or standardised  Other standardisation bodies, regulation bodies, working groups working on the topic etc. ; liaisons  The issue of preemption/requisition  What else ?

7 Liaison with Mesa  My vision fo Mesa at a glance  A joint working group between TIA and Etsi  Dedicated to emergency communications  Delivers specification of sytems-of-systems  Focus on terrestrial mobile systems (e.g. Tetra)  Possible shared areas of interest with Satec  Interconnection between sat and mobile network e.g. between a Tetra network and a DVB-RCS network  Satec could be responsible for specifying the interface on the sat side  Mesa could be responsible for specifying the interface on the mobile terminal side

8 Typical outcome of common work  A container for emergency communications  Transportable by helicopter  Easy to deploy  With a DVB-RCS sat terminal to connect to backbones and beyond to risk/health centres  With terrestrial mobile radio means based on Tetra, Wi-Fi, GSM, analog VHF (voice) etc.  Alcatel Alenia Space has developed a first prototype
