A closer look to a Beam

19,7 – 20,2 GHz ~250 MHz FWD

 Each Single Beam is fed via KA-SAT with ~250 MHz of Bandwidth (called also “FWD” Capacity)

www.skylogic.com

Page - 10

A closer look to a Beam

 Each Single Beam is fed via KA-SAT with ~250 MHz of Bandwidth (called also “FWD” Capacity)  Terminals within a Beam have available ~250 MHz of “RTN” Capacity for transmitting back to KA- SAT  There are 82 Beams from KA-SAT. As each one is fed with ~250 MHz of bandwidth, it comes that KA-SAT Satellite must be fed with 82 x 250 MHz ~ 20 GHz (!)

29,5 – 30 GHz ~250 MHz RTN

How is it possible to Feed KA-SAT with 20 GHz

• f Info?
• It is possible only reusing more than one time the same Slot of Frequency (example: 10 times

the same slot of 2 GHz)

News Gathering via Satellite and the IP Revolution: why is KA-SAT so innovative for SNG?

www.skylogic.com

Page - 18

OU Data Gathering: Ka Advantages

• 1st Consideration: EFP (Electronic Field Production) equipment are becoming cheaper and

cheaper (they have become already, actually…)

~35-80 k€ ~3-8 k€

www.skylogic.com

Page - 19

OU Data Gathering: Ka Advantages

• 2nd Consideration: The EFP/ENG WorkFlow has moved from Tape to Memory-Card with -

again - significant reductions in cost and a seamless integration into IP networks

www.skylogic.com

Page - 20

OU Data Gathering: Ka Advantages

• Result: EFP production requires today a very limited investment and is seamlessly integrated

into IP Networks; EFP systems can today be deployed in large volumes by Broadcasters due to their improved affordability

+ + =

Light + Cheap + IP

• So, Broadcasters are looking for Cheap and Light systems, providing IP

connectivity, as an ideal complement of today’s EFP System for News Gathering

Terminal Acceptance

• To operate on KA-SAT, Terminals

need to receive Eutelsat Validation and Approval

• Eutelsat ESOG Document details

the acceptance procedure – Static Tests – Autopointing Tests

• Eutelsat approved Antennas will be

recognisable by a proper Logo and Certification

Terminal Licensing

• Ruled by ECC Decision 06/03

– Exemption From Individual Licensing of High EIRP Satellite Terminals (HEST)

• perating in the 19.7-20.2 GHz Space to

Earth and 29.5-30.0 GHz Earth to Space Frequency Band

• The ECC Decision exempts from

individuale licensing Terminals having an EIRP < 60 dBW (in some countries the limit is lowered to 50 dBW)

• ECC Decision 06/03 is adopted in all CEPT

Countries

Accessing the Bandwidth: Booking

www.skylogic.com

Page - 60

Booking

• The Service is fully operated by Skylogic, the

Italian Subsdiary of Eutelsat based in Turin

• Skylogic NOC also provides Support in case of

Troubleshooting

www.skylogic.com

Page - 61

Booking

• Web-based Self-Booking

– Each Customer is provided with access to a Service Webportal (OSS) – The portal provides informations on all terminals belonging to the Customer

• Alive, Off, Configuration, Rate, Beam etc...

www.skylogic.com

Page - 62

Booking

• Booking is done on the web via the Skylogic OSS Portal

– The Customer specifies

• The User Terminal he uses (each UT is uniquely identified by its MAC

Address)

• The location from where he will be doing the Contribution (used to determine

the Beam) – NOTE: NewsSpotter Terminals are not limited to work from a single Beam, they can work from ALL of the Beams (“Beamless” Configuration)

• The Timeslot of the Contribution
• The Bitrate he requires on the RTN and on the FWD link
• If the Terminal is not Booked, it will still get connectivity and will be forwarded to the

OSS Booking page – This allows the SNG to go on site in case of Breaking News, deploy the antenna, and perform an “immediate” booking

Commercial Model

• We are not selling MHz, we are selling GBytes

– The Customer pays the transferred Volume instead of the Frequency slot used

• Example

– 1 hour of transfer @ 4Mbps = 1.8 GBytes

Volume transferred in 1 hour Transfer bit-rate Volume transferred 1 Mbps 0.45 GB 2 Mbps 0.9 GB 4 Mbps 1.8 GB 8 Mbps 3.6 GB 12 Mbps 5.4 GB Time to transfer 1 GB Transfer bit-rate Time to transfer 1 Mbps 2h13 2 Mbps 1h07 4 Mbps 33 min 8 Mbps 17 min 12 Mbps 11 min

www.skylogic.com

Page - 67

Commercial Model

• The Service can be marketed in 2 main modes

– Occasional Use Committed via Booking – Permanently Reserved CIR per Beam (IP Connect)

www.skylogic.com

Page - 68

1 - Commercial Model - Occasional Use via Booking

• The Customer purchases Volume, and he uses it “little by little” when doing

contribution with its fleet of terminals – It’s like filling a tank with gasoline – The faster the car, the higher the Gasoline consumption (the higher the transmission rate, the higher the volume consumed)

• Increased flexibility

– A terminal can work at different speed on different dates – The individual Terminal does not have any FAP

• The model foresee monthly “Traffic Plans”

– Monthly plan specifies a monthly volume – The higher the Volume engagement of the Plan, the lower the price – The sum of the volume used during the month by Customer Fleet will be accounted and billed out of the Monthly Plan

1 - Commercial Model - Occasional Use via Booking

• Ka

– 1 hour @ 4 Mbit (perfect for SD) uses 1.8 GBytes

• Ku

– Price vary a lot on the basis of timeslot (Primetime, Daytime, Nightime) – Price vary a lot on the basis of commitment

Thus, KA costs from 2/3 to 1/5 the price of Ku

– Thus 1 hour of SD contribution @ 4 Mbit costs from ~32.8 € to ~109.35 € – On average, one hour of 4 MHz (~4Mbit) cost ~ 150 €
