09 July 2021 DEFIS EU Secure Space-based Connectivity System Europe must launch a third major space project: a connectivity project through a constellation in low orbit making it possible to put an end to coverage dead zones in Europe

Ensure European strategic autonomy, resilience and technological sovereignty

Strengthen Europe’s ability to be a global leader

Fuel an innovative and competitive European industrial ecosystem 2 DEFIS A Multi-orbital Architecture

• Based on existing EU GEO capabilities • Adds LEO/MEO components • Governmental and Commercial applications • Initially European and African coverage, then global • Emphasis on security GEO LEO LOW EARTH ORBIT • Designed-in, not add-on Q TERRESTRIAL NETWORK MEO • Quantum technologies 3 DEFIS3 Helping to Ease Connectivity Gaps

• Even though focussed on European markets and users, the European system will have spare global capacity • Adds to growing list of space assets serving internet access markets • GEO component proven cost effective solution for internet access • MEO/LEO adds low latency/capacity enhancements • Not needed for all requirements • Receiver cost critical to success • Currently large GEO – MEO/LEO cost gap • Regulators can help by easing access for satellite signal

| Proprietary & Confidential 2 Telesat Lightspeed: a highly innovative LEO global system

√ 298 satellite constellation with optical inter-satellite links, full global coverage from pole to pole

• Polar Orbit • Inclined Orbit √ 78 polar satellites in 6 orbit planes at 1,015 km and 220 inclined satellites in 20 orbit planes at 1,325 km

√ ~35 times closer to Earth than traditional satellites for fibre- quality low latency

√ ~4 GHz Ka-band spectrum (both user terminals and gateways) and ~135,000 agile beams to flexibly connect small Inter-satellite links to very large sites (few Mbps to multiple Gbps links) Payload on- global connectivity board √ Multiple satellites and ground nodes for resilient, always-on, processing high capacity quick and economic connectivity to rural and remote areas

√ Flexible, state-of-the-art design delivers most competitive Ka-band unit economics Gateway and user CNOS links orchestration √ Programmable Scalable architecture, addition of satellites will increase Direct network capacity deliverable by the network radiating Landing antennas Stations (i.e. √ Orchestration via Constellation Network Operating System flexible coverage gateways) (CNOS)

3 How to facilitate and incentivize deployment of satellite systems

▲ Governmental support schemes towards universal connectivity via satellite ▲ Streamline the licensing process – no artificial barriers to entry ▲ Blanket license for user terminals with similar technical/operational characteristics (ubiquitous VSATs and ESIM – Earth Stations In Motion): i.e. no terminal-by-terminal licenses ▲ Reasonable spectrum prices (potential use of +4GHz of spectrum in Ka-band) ▲ Allow circulation of duly licensed foreign visiting terminals on a non-interference, non- protection basis ▲ Availability of sufficient spectrum (e.g. 28GHz band) ▲ Support for related WRC-23 Agenda Items that will facilitate the deployment of these emerging satellite technologies (e.g. WRC-23 AI 1.16)
