  • Low-Cost Wireless Internet System for Rural India Using Geosynchronous Satellite in an Inclined Orbit
    Low-cost Wireless Internet System for Rural India using Geosynchronous Satellite in an Inclined Orbit Karan Desai Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Electrical Engineering Timothy Pratt, Chair Jeffrey H. Reed J. Michael Ruohoniemi April 28, 2011 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Internet, Low-cost, Rural Communication, Wireless, Geostationary Satellite, Inclined Orbit Copyright 2011, Karan Desai Low-cost Wireless Internet System for Rural India using Geosynchronous Satellite in an Inclined Orbit Karan Desai ABSTRACT Providing affordable Internet access to rural populations in large developing countries to aid economic and social progress, using various non-conventional techniques has been a topic of active research recently. The main obstacle in providing fiber-optic based terrestrial Internet links to remote villages is the cost involved in laying the cable network and disproportionately low rate of return on investment due to low density of paid users. The conventional alternative to this is providing Internet access using geostationary satellite links, which can prove commercially infeasible in predominantly cost-driven rural markets in developing economies like India or China due to high access cost per user. A low-cost derivative of the conventional satellite-based Internet access system can be developed by utilizing an aging geostationary satellite nearing the end of its active life, allowing it to enter an inclined geosynchronous orbit by limiting station keeping to only east-west maneuvers to save fuel. Eliminating the need for individual satellite receiver modules by using one centrally located earth station per village and providing last mile connectivity using Wi-Fi can further reduce the access cost per user.

  • Realizing Resilient Tactical Networks with Maximum Government Control on High-Throughput Satellites
    WHITE PAPER Realizing Resilient Tactical Networks with Maximum Government Control on High-throughput Satellites 1 Wide-beam connectivity is an essential aspect of military satellite communications and High Throughput Satellite (HTS) technology is proving to be ideally suited for many Government applications. While most satellite operators offer closed HTS architectures that are vendor-locked with very little control offered to users, the Intelsat Epic Next Generation (Epic) HTS architecture is enterprise- grade, open architecture and vendor-agnostic. Intelsat Epic allows Government and military access to bandwidth-efficient, higher data throughputs on a global-scale via a wide variety of user-chosen waveforms, modems and antennas. Intelsat is proud to present the next generation of satellite communications that features higher data throughput rates and security while offering cost-efficiencies across the board. Introduction High Throughput Satellites (HTS) have been the center of solutions. Interoperability between the various military attention for the past five years. It is important to note that branches, allied, and coalition forces continues to be a most of these systems have been purpose-built solutions to challenge. Finally, most military and government users require service homogeneous sets of users via closed architectures. operational coverage in remote and austere regions such Systems such as ViaSat Exede, Inmarsat Global Express, Hughes as deserts, jungles, and oceans—well outside of population Jupiter, and Eutelsat KA-SAT require new investments in centers for which these closed architectures are optimized. proprietary modem technologies and service architectures. These closed systems offer star-only connectivity and keep With the disconnects between these closed HTS solutions and quality of service control with the service provider, not the end the challenges faced by the Government, it is no wonder that users.

  • High Throughput Ku-Band for Aero Applications
    WHITE PAPER High Throughput Ku-band for Aero Applications 1 Summary Recent advancements in high throughput Ku-band satellites will allow commercial Ku-band aeronautical mobile satellite systems (AMSS) to equal or exceed commercial Ka-band AMSS systems on cost and performance. The first example of this is Panasonic’s acquisition of capacity on Intelsat-29e satellite, the first satellite to use Intelsat’s Epic platform. Ku-band currently dominates the AMSS broadband market. Systems like Panasonic’s eXConnect, Row44 and Yonder provide service to the commercial market while other providers such as Tachyon and Boeing serve the government market. All of these systems use conventional continental-scale wide beams that are leased from Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) providers like Intelsat. However, in several years the dominance of Ku-band in the AMSS market will be challenged by forthcoming Ka-band systems, such as Inmarsat-5. These systems use customized satellites with multiple spot beams to offer enhanced performance over conventional wide beam Ku-band. This paper demonstrates that the key to the high throughput of Ka systems such as Inmarsat-5 is not the frequency of operation, but rather the use of spot beams. This means a Ku-band satellite using similarly sized spot beams can equal or exceed the performance of Ka-band satellites. Intelsat’s Epic platform takes full advantage of this fact. Panasonic and Intelsat have collaborated on Intelsat-29e, the first Epic satellite, to serve the needs of the AMSS market in North America and the North Atlantic – two of the densest aviation markets in the world.

  • Introduction
    Introduction DONNA A. DEMAC In 1985, the space shuttle Discovery went into space with five Americans, a Saudi Arabian prince, and a Frenchman on board. During the weeklong journey, two communications satellites were launched for the Mexican government and a consortium of twenty- one Arab nations, while laser and biomedical experiments were conducted for the U.S. military and several countries in Europe. These activities were paving the way for the next era in outer space. The principal objectives of the first era, global connectivity and technological breakthroughs for both the space and earth segment, had been accomplished. The new objectives include the use of space stations for scientific and industrial applications, and the establishment of worldwide, multi-user, multi-purpose infor- mation networks that will include satellites, digital switches, glass fiber cables, and mobile communications. Like the space shuttle crew, communication has be- come truly international. Over 1.5 billion television viewers in sixty-eight countries watched the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. One hundred and ten countries are members of INTELSAT, the core network for telephone transmission worldwide. A similar international organization, Intersputnik, provides satellite services to the Eastern bloc and some developing countries. The proliferation of satellites amidst the introduction xii DONNA A. DEMAC of sophisticated telecommunications technologies is transforming business activities and national perspectives on international com- munication. There are today approximately one hundred and sixty commercial satellites in orbit. In the industrialized world, satellites are being used to provide telephone service, data communication, video, and specialized networks. In the developing countries, In- dia, Indonesia, Brazil, and Mexico own satellites which are used for business, education, entertainment, and national unification.
