The Digital connected world Satellite strategies are adapting to the growing end user expectations 6
5GPPP vision (www.5g-ppp.eu)» 5G wireless will support a heterogeneous set of integrated air interfaces: from evolutions of current access schemes to brand new technologies. 5G networks will encompass cellular and satellite solutions. Seamless handover between heterogeneous wireless access technologies will be a native feature of 5G, as well as use of simultaneous radio access technologies to increase reliability and availability.» To achieve the expected capacity, coverage, reliability, latency and improvements in energy consumption, the 5G architecture is expected to run over a converged optical-wireless-satellite infrastructure for network access, backhauling and front hauling with the possibility of transmitting digital and modulated signals over the physical connections. 7
Major Advances in Satellite Technologies Reduce infrastructure costs: More efficient payloads Advanced Electric Propulsion Lower dry mass lattice like structures Increased Payload Flexibility: Adv. Digital beam forming processors Advanced phased arrays Ka MPA lower cost of capacity Lower performance/cost launch vehicles Reduce launch mass, use lower class launch vehicles to inject larger payloads Resilient end to end ground network Higher performance, greater capacity, secure network HTS- 50-200 Gbps to 1 TBps by 2020s Innovation in ALL Satellite Bands Hybrid C/Ku, L/S Bands Ka-Band, Q/V Bands New Constellations NGSO (1k+ satellites) Open Architecture (al-ip & 5G) Higher Speeds 50/5 Mbps Increased focus on M2M, IoT, Highly cost effective terrestrial comparable Enhanced Utility for rural/remote Ubiquitous Connectivity Land/Sea/Air Innovative use of new technologies is drastically reducing cost per Mbps 8

Satellite Integration in a Converged 5G Ecosystem 11
Satellite Integration in 5G through Network slicing The dividing lines between satellite and terrestrial networks are softening Developments in terrestrial wireless networks and services are influencing the prospects for satellite integrated services Today, the delivery of services and content over networks, operated by different entities, call for new types of partnership arrangements and for a unified end-to-end control and management The transition to Network Function Visualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networks (SDN) not only facilitates the integration of network functions of different vendors, it also potentially facilitates the integration of different technologies onto the same platform to Enable the delivery of high quality end to end performance to the final users; Differentiate business models (e.g. introduces flexibility to enable new and innovative services and applications that were not envisaged when the network infrastructure was planned and deployed); Improve business performance (including the reduction of operation costs and end user terminal pricing) This means that satellite technology will blend in to the overall 5G network architecture, aligning its NFVs into the edge and core cloud infrastructures. As a consequence: The network management service will manage the traffic directed to the satellite according to bandwidth, latency and other application requirements Satellite technology could have its functions integrated at NFV level, creating a denser and more operable and scalable platform for a telecom operator. In combination with 5G network slicing, dedicated VNFs could address different connectivity concerns. 12
