2 Session Contents Who are Cobham Cobham SATCOM? Key requirements for maritime mobility Developments in Ka band and VSAT technology L-Band via Inmarsat or Iridium Ku/Ka/Cband VSAT + TVRO GMDSS & Legislative 1

3 Cobham SATCOM at a glance Capabilities centered around communication and the growing demand for data, connectivity and bandwidth Leading manufacturer of marine radios and mobile satellite communications equipment Approx. 1,000 employees Locations in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, USA, China, South Africa and Singapore. Marine the largest Business Unit 2

4 SATCOM capabilities Marine - Radio: VHF, MF/HF, AIS and Navtex - Satellite: L-band, Ku-band, Ka-band and X-band for Inmarsat, Iridium, Intelsat etc.. Land - Portable and Vehicular BGAN terminals - Manual and auto-deploy Fly-Away VSAT antennas and a selection of Drive Away and Comm-On-The-Move VSAT antennas Aero - Modems and antennas based on L-band technology 3

5 Maritime: Key Sector Drivers Market driver - regulatory key in commercial sectors: 4

6 Maritime: Key Sector drivers Above all, the rapid growth in demand for bandwidth should not be underestimated Comsys 2012: Maritime VSAT data usage growth 5
