6 The disruptors in a space industry worth >$300bn

In Feb 2017, Planet launched 88 Rocket Lab is the only rocket Virgin will launch small Dove satellites into orbit – the firm in the world with its own satellites using its LauncherOne largest fleet of satellites to be launch complex (on North orbital launch vehicle. launched in history; and then Island’s Mahia Peninsula). another 48 in Jul 2017. Essentially LauncherOne is a The Electron satellite test Boeing 747-400 airplane With over 200 Earth observation program launched 3 shoe-boxed designed to hold a rocket under satellites, now satellites in Jan 2018, and its wing. Once it reaches an operates the largest satellite projected to cost <$5 million per altitude of ~35,000 feet, the constellation. launch. rocket would be fired into space.

17 Why Intelsat and OneWeb?

The two global Ku-band Interoperability allows Synergies enabled by a larger constellations on dynamic access to both and richer ecosystem around different orbital planes the Intelsat and OneWeb Ku-band for enterprise & are complementary. constellations from a single carrier-grade solutions. integrated satellite terminal.

19 What is Epic about Intelsat EpicNG?

Successful launch of Horizons 3e on 25th September

20 Defining high throughput satellites from wide beams to spot beams

AND

Modern wide beam High throughput spot beams

21 The impact of closed architecture on performance

. Ka-band HTS systems which are managed or shared have a closed architecture . A closed architecture requires that all ground terminals use common equipment. Each closed HTS service is based upon a single platform and all terminals must use that platform. . Thus, the customer is locked into this proprietary system and cannot easily take advantage of future modem technology improvements until the satellite operator is ready to upgrade their entire platform.

22 Intelsat EpicNG results Increased link margins, increased spectral efficiency and/or higher Mbps throughput

26 What is different about Intelsat EpicNG?

Other HTS Systems

• Global coverage • Often limited (regional) coverage

• Multiple satellites layered: redundancy • Single HTS satellite in given region & scalability • Wide & spot beams combined • Spot beams only

• Multi-frequency • Single frequency band

• Connectivity between all beams • Fixed (user beam to GW only)

• Open architecture • Designed for consumer services

• Guaranteed bandwidth • Best effort bandwidth

27 Antenna technology is evolving
