The Satellite Communications Challenge
universal access is now not so much an
engineering or supply-side problem but rather a
regulatory and policy challenge. - ITU World
Telecommunication Development Report (March
1998)

Satellite CommunicationsA Challenge Met

• 20 year pedigree in Corporate Data Networks
  throughout 120 countries
• Over 1/2 m receive-only over 1/2 m interactive
  terminals
• New Services Applications Over IP
• Private Public sectors, e.g. Internet/Extranet,
  Distance Learning, Videoconferencing, VoIP
  services, Telemedicine, etc.

The Drive for IP-Satellite

• Mid-1990s Less than 5 of enterprise VSAT
  services were driven by demand for IP-based
  service
• Last year Closer to 99 (Comsys)
• Globally 13 of all ISPs using satellite to
  obtain IP content
• Asia 30-40 of all ISPs use satellite links (DTT
  Consulting)

Meeting the Challengewith Unmatched Economics

• Not a simple price focused case for satcom
• Inherent broadcast capabilities
• up to 35-45 Mbps backbone connection, reaching
  155 Mbps when possible
• multicasting speeds can reach 2-3 Mbps
• Internet content to consumer at 400 kbps
• cost-effective through matching the asymmetric
  nature of Internet traffic

26
Satcoms back with a bang, post 30 growth

• From Times of India News Network
• The VSAT industry has got a fresh lease of life
  after the migration to a revenue sharing regime,
  and allowing Ku-band and foreign satellites has
  solved the issues that were crippling the growth
  of the industry, (B G Bhalla, Secretary General,
  VSAI, 26 July 2002)

27
Indias Market - Moving Forward with VSAI GVF

• Important -
• removal of the 512 kbps limit
• no reason not to go to 2 Mbps
• reduction in license fees
• reduction in minimum permissible antenna size

28
Why Important?

• Higher transmission speeds needed for
• software industry bulk data transfer
• high speed backhaul for enterprise customers
• distance learning, business in-house training
• telemedicine, etc
• License fee reductions promote
• promoting competition and growth
• Smaller antennas mean
• lower end user costs
• and, new generation satellites mean no
  performance loss
