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 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: 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 infrastructure

6 It has 82 beams, operating in Ka-band, using circular polarization. User Beam bandwidth is 250 Mhz. KA-SAT is a next-generation satellite

7 Cork Madrid Scanzano Athens Cyprus Turin Berlin Helsinki Rambouillet Udine KA-SAT is a new net of 10 interconnected teleports. It is the first time that 10 teleports work together feeding the same satellite for broadband services.

14 New-generation light SNG Europe-wide low-cost video contribution service for SNG  Much lighter  Lower cost ( 10K€ down from 150K€) Broadcasters for news video contribution needing:  Fast access to injection point  Internet-based booking  Light terminals Satellite News Gathering using lightweight kits Data Gathering applications The solution Addressable markets Key applications

15 Regional Broadcasting Cost-efficient solution for regional television channels requiring limited coverage Regional broadcaster and national broadcasters in small areas Complements terrestrial DTT network in small countries/regions Corporate TV network Closed network  Betting network,  Hypermarkets,  Distribution Network Complements Ku broad footprint coverage Example of coverage with a spot The solution Addressable markets

16 2 types of satellites for 2 different applications One signal received simultaneously by unlimited number of users in a wide area covering a continent or more Multi-beam architecture High frequency reuse Significant increase in bandwidth New markets New services 16 Optimised for IP applications Optimised for broadcast services Traditional wide footprint New-generation HTS Traditional wide-beam satellite and HTS multi-spotbeams are complementary: two models for two types of applications TV Voice Data

17 Eutelsat KA-SAT against the competition High speed (50 Mb/s down, 20 Mb/s up) Full continental coverage  Large SPs  Enterprise Biggest High Throughput Satellite (HTS)  Scalability  Cost per unit  Material scale for major operator Combines with Eutelsat Ku to deliver triple play for Eutelsat broadcast customers Fleet diversity – 27 satellites 30 years’ experience

18 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 For everyone EverywhereSimple Fast
