29 Procuring a Satellite Service: The Full Story Alpha and Beta are competing Mobile Network Operators. They both need satellite connectivity to support their operations. However, they have a very different procurement approach. Alpha Beta 1. Selects the satellite operator which has the lowest price per MHz. 2. Then, buys the cheapest equipment available on the market. 3. Doesn t fully take into account future requirements in terms of equipment, coverage and bandwidth. 1. Designs the satellite network taking into consideration equipment and bandwidth requirements. 2. Performs a Total Cost of Ownership analysis including CAPEX and OPEX. 3. Considers future requirements to select an effective invest-asyou-grow solution. 4. Trains in-house satellite experts to keep optimizing the network
30 Procuring a Satellite Service: The Full Story What could be the consequences of the two different approaches? An initial cheap design may prove to be more expensive over time: Company Alpha may need to invest more than Beta to expand the network With limitations of ground equipment, bandwidth-saving techniques can hardly be implemented. Possible lower performance Service availability, satellite performance, technical support, matter. Always compare apples with apples!
31 Procuring a Satellite Service: The Full Story Example with Alpha and Beta s respective services : Alpha Beta Information Rate 10 x 1 Mbps 10 x 1 Mbps Efficiency 1.6 bps/hz 2.8 bps/hz Required bandwidth 6.25 MHz 3.57 MHz Price $/MHz 2,000 $/MHz* 2,500 $/MHz* Bandwidth MRC 12,500 $/month 8,929 $/month Equipment investment 100,000 $* 180,000 $* Contract length 36 months 36 months Total Cost of Ownership 550,000 $ 501,429 $ Equipment feature Entry-level modems, Modcod 8PSK 3/4, Roll-off factor 40% Advanced modems with Carrier Cancellation Technique and ACM, Modcod QPSK 7/8, Roll-off 25% Satellite performance C-band global beam low EIRP C-band zone beam high EIRP * Indicative figures
32 Procuring a Satellite Service: The Full Story In addition to saving more money despite a higher initial investment: Beta s service reaches virtually 100% availability thanks to ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation) Beta will require less bandwidth to increase the data rates, compared to Alpha easier growth Beta is more competitive in the market since its cost per Mbps is about 30% lower than Alpha s With the high performance satellite used by Beta, additional low-cost sites can be easily deployed with smaller antennas and less power.

Service Level Discussion Satellite Network Technology Options Total Cost of Ownership (OPEX Vs CAPEX) Procurement & Logistics Space Segment, Satellite Equipment Registration with local authorities Logistics around equipment shipping and installation Satellite Economics Beyond the Cost per MHz Procuring a Satellite Service Cost Structure of a Satellite Network Comparison of Different Satellite Networks Not All Satellites Perform Equally
34 The Cost Structure of a Satellite Network As seen in the previous example, several parameters must be considered Equipment: Antenna size BUC size Modem capabilities Network topology: Star or Mesh Satellite bandwidth: Performance of the satellite Type of coverage: global, hemispheric, zone or spot beam Dedicated or shared bandwidth Other: license fees, installation, maintenance, international shipment, The performance requirements can significantly impact the network design thus the overall cost. Define them sensibly and be ready for tradeoffs! The good design of a network will consider the investment and recurring costs required to meet the requirements, while taking into consideration scalability.
35 The Cost Structure of a Satellite Network A link budget report typically provides information that help assessing the cost of the solution Required Carrier Information Required Transponder (depends on modem capabilities) Bandwidth Power (PEB) Designed Link Availability Satellite and transponde information Antenna size and required BUC power

37 Dedicated SCPC Links SCPC = Single Channel Per Carrier Typically used for point-to-point links with dedicated bandwidth Example of a network: Hub to Remote 1: 2 Mbps Hub to Remote 2: 2 Mbps Remotes to Hub: 1 Mbps each All sites have a 2.4m antenna and entry-level modems. For 99.96% availability 6.8 MHz are required for the total network Efficiency is only 0.88 bps/hz
38 Improving Efficiency with Better Equipment Same network as previously, but with different hardware configuration Antenna sizes Now, if the requirements are modified a bit: Modems Bandwidth Efficiency Initial network 2.4m Entry-level 6.8 MHz 0.88 bps/hz Larger antennas 3.7m Entry-level 4.8 MHz 1.25 bps/hz Lower roll-off factor Carrier Cancellation Technique 3.7m Advanced 4.3 MHz 1.40 bps/hz 3.7m Advanced with CCT Using Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) and Carrier Cancellation Technique Maximum throughput 2 Mbps /1 Mbps (95% of the time) Minimum throughput 1.6 Mbps /0.94 Mbps Required bandwidth is 2.4 MHz and efficiency is 2.5 bps/hz 2.9 MHz 2.07 bps/hz
39 Improving Efficiency with Better Equipment As seen in previous examples, using better equipment leads to higher efficiencies thus lower recurring costs. However: Only a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis can determine whether the investment on hardware is worth the bandwidth savings The size of the network, the required bandwidth and possible savings must be taken into consideration.

41 Not All Satellites Perform Equally The efficiency that can be achieved for a given satellite link also depends on the characteristics of the satellite and transponder: Power density and G/T The cost/mhz will typically vary Beam coverage: in function of The wider the beam, the larger the service area can be, but these parameters Wider beams (especially global beams) typically have lower power density Note that some satellite operators only have global C-band beams for services in Africa Elevation angle: preferably above 20 degrees Available capacity Intelsat s Epic NG satellites represent a major step forward: High throughput, increased power density, flexibility, vendor-agnostic, etc.
42 Not All Satellites Perform Equally What about Ka-band? 1/2 Ka-band is more susceptible to rain attenuation Ka-band Ku-band Legend: Link Margin required for 99.6% availability > 18 db
43 Not All Satellites Perform Equally What about Ka-band? 2/2 Most Ka-band spot beams are smaller than Ku-band beams: more beams required to cover an area In an attempt to cover the globe, some operators are stretching their beams, which reduces their power and efficiency A few myths on Ka-band: Higher frequencies provide higher throughput Myth: There is nothing fundamental in a frequency band which supports higher throughput Ka-band is more cost-effective because it allows us of smaller antennas Myth: Higher frequencies result in greater path loss between the antenna and the satellite, which nullifies the increase in antenna performance. For similar link performance, larger Ka-band terminals are required Attenuation mitigating techniques can compensate Ka-band rain fade Myth: There is a limit of how much rain fade ACM and UPC can address and these techniques are unlikely to be fully able to compensate for Ka-band rain fade. High Throughput Satellites (HTS) are Ka-band satellites Myth: An HTS satellite is one that uses significant frequency reuse techniques to multiply the effective throughput capacity of the satellite. Epic NG HTS satellites use C-, Ku- and Kabands.
44 Sharing Resources for Better Cost Efficiency Dedicated SCPC links are well-suited to: Connections that need to be up all the time Traffic patterns that do not have dynamic variations Sharing resources: Satellite bandwidth Modulators and demodulators hub cards Solutions with shared resources are preferable when: Network is large with a central hub: avoid having multiple modems at hub Traffic demand is dynamic and varies within the network
45 Sharing Resources for Better Cost Efficiency Typical configuration: Central hub with one or several modulator and demodulator cards Remote sites equipped with modems and possibly DVB receivers Shared outbound carrier (from hub to remotes), typically DVB-S2 Dedicated or shared inbound carriers (from remotes to hub): TDMA, MF-TDMA, dscpc, Mx-DMA Most equipment manufacturers have such solutions: Comtech Heights, Newtec Dialog, idirect Flex, Gilat SkyEdge, etc. Intelsat offers solutions based on Newtec and idirect hub equipment
46 Satellite Brings Benefits to Your Business Satellite technology should not be seen as last resort. It offers: Unmatched reliability Very high availability Short service implementation time in remote areas Wide coverage Easy point-to-multipoint communications Good value for money with state-of-the-art technology Opportunities for growth in untapped rural markets And so much more
47 Conclusion Do not focus solely on unit prices for satellite capacity Always ask: What is the satellite performance? What equipment takes full benefit of the satellite capacity? What network topology do I need for the service? What efficiency can I reach? What is the Total Cost of Ownership? What support can I get from the satellite operator? What revenues and benefits can I drive from this service?
