Brief history Differences in satellite offerings Two popular commercial global satellite networks High data volume Broadband Future directions Brief History of Satellite Communications
1946 - Geostationary Orbit Proposed by Arthur C. Clarke. Suggested 3 Satellites could be used to provide Global Communications Relays.
January 19 Commercial In Confidence Brief History of Satellite Communications
1957 - USSR Launches Sputnik 1 The First Man Made Satellite Orbited Earth For 3 Months.
1962 - Skynet/NASA Launch Telstar 1. The first Trans-Atlantic Communications Satellite.
January 19 Commercial In Confidence Brief History of Satellite Communications
1964 - The Japanese Olympic Games is the First International Event to be Televised Live via satellite
2011 – Eutelsat Launches KaSat providing Internet Broadband services 2018 – Nano Satellite consolations for IOT and M2M
January 19 Commercial In Confidence Types of Satellite Orbits
LEO – Low Earth Orbit 600-1500km i.e. International Space agency, Iridium, Globalstar & Orbcomm 10’s to 100’s of satellites create mesh networks
MEO Medium Earth Orbit 10-20,000km i.e. GPS, ICO, Geostationary Orbit 35,700km i.e. Inmarsat,Eutelsat, Astra (Sky). Inmarsat have only 13 satellites in orbit
January 19 Commercial In Confidence Why use satellite communication?
Monitoring beyond the “easy win” installations in areas of no GSM/poor coverage Collect data without compromising its value by using an alternative monitoring location Requirement for 2 way communications Minimal disruption to customers and the environment
January 19 Commercial In Confidence Commercial offers
• Iridium – Short Burst Data (SBD)
• Inmarsat – Broadband Area Global Area Network (BGAN)M2M
• TSAT and Ka SAT (Telemetry Over Satellite)
January 19 Commercial In Confidence Iridium Short Bust Data
Cheaper to deploy, more numerous, lower latency, Less power required Low Earth Orbiting(LEO) Satellites Small data volumes Operate as a mesh network, transmitting between each other before data is transmitted to a ground station.
Modems are small and low power Small, low profile omnidirectional antennas Suitable to mobile applications Low skill deployment
January 19 Commercial In Confidence Iridium Short Burst Data“Satellite SMS”
Complete Global Coverage - LEO Network of 66 satellites plus 9 spares LEO satellite needs less powerful amplifiers for successful transmission SBD Messages are sent and received in a very similar process to GSM SMS SBD is billed per KB with single global data rate SBD airtime can become expensive Typical rates are £1 per KB, which equates to £1,000 per MB Best suited for data volumes < 0.5MB per day Larger Message size than SMS – 340 Bytes (150 Bytes SMS) – Priced “Per Byte” (Not Per Message)
January 19 Commercial In Confidence Iridium Devices for integration Iridium SBD Modems – Low capital cost – 340 bytes maximum data transmit – SBD only – multiple applications
Iridium 9523 and 9522B Transceivers – Short Burst Data (SBD) capable – Voice, Circuit Switched Data – 1980 Bytes maximum message transmit size
January 19 Commercial In Confidence Iridium Edge SBD modem and Rock 7 Rock Fleet, IOT enabling devices
Hardware-Ready Device for simple, low risk integration Low-Cost Device for affordable customer adoption (RRP £450.00) Satellite Add-On for truly global coverage Ready-To-Install for quick time-to-market Robust Power Supply for industrial installations Certified in key geographic markets 180° Line of Sight for compromised, partially blocked locations
January 19 Commercial In Confidence BGAN M2M,GPRS in the Sky
Broadband Global Area Network, BGAN 13 Satellites in Geostationary orbit Modems require directional antenna Greater distance from Earth the LEO Larger volumes of data than SBD Provides GPRS/3G type service via satellite Low volume services specifically optimised for unmanned applications Best suited to IP based data services 2Mb – 20Mb/Month Suitable for WITS and DNP3 over IP
January 19 Commercial In Confidence BGAN M2M and 2G/3G Compatibility Small Form, Ruggedised Unit – Only 20cm * 20cm (inc. Antenna) – 1.6Kgs Wide DC input range: – 10.5 to 32VDC Low Power Consumption – Sleep mode 21mW – Transmit 19W Basic Components for remote station
