Driving MENA’s Broadband Satellite & satellite-hybrid networks provide unprecedented coverage, scalability, reliability and economics @ ArabCom 2005 By Martin Jarrold Chief, International Programme Development
Why Satellite? • Unprecedented • Economics • Coverage • Scalability • Reliability
Unsurpassed Service Coverage Networking solutions without limitations of: • distance • geographic area • location • number of sites
Global Broadband Community An increasing percentage of all global broadband traffic is carried using satellite networks • Ask Internet Service Providers around the world, because… • Over 15% of their links to the backbone and to their customers are carried over satellite
One to Many Unmatched cost-effectiveness of broadband arises from the unique combination • one to many broadcast capabilities • full IP networking solutions - Matches the asymmetric nature of Internet - Multicasting at 2-10 Mbps - Internet connection at xDSL speeds or greater - 35-45 Mbps backbone connections and faster
Flexible and Scalable • Many applications supportedwith broadband capacity andassured quality • High-speed, secure deliveryusing a single, end-to-end solution that is more reliable than terrestrial alternatives • Flexible enough to meet present demands, yet scales to fit future growth
Evolution or Revolution > IP Satellite • Generational overview 1980 1990 2005 1st Generation: $10-20K, < 64 kbps, Data 2nd Generation: $5-10K, < 2 mbps, V+D 3rd Generation ($1-10K, up 40 mbps, Multimedia)
Cost Efficiency • Lower total cost of service • Widespread deployment • Advanced technology • Hybrid solutions - Fibre - WiFi / WiMax Success proven in numbers • Over one millionreceive-only terminals with IP multicasting deployed • Nearly one millioninteractive terminals
Satellite-based broadband: IP Multicasting • Broadcast and Broadband services combining • IP multicasting of video employed by both traditional broadcasters and by enterprises, with quality as high as HDTV • Requires less bandwidth than traditional digital transmission • Combines front-of-house applications (customer oriented video) with back office applications (internal communications). • Al Majd TV sends out one signal as IP-based video to consumer home IP-based video receivers (carried over Middle East satellite operator [member of GVF])
The Administrations Respond: ITU Sector D - Question 17/1 • Sent to 189 Administrations • 63 Responded • Further Contributions From: • ITU-R • ITU Task Force on Gender Issues • Regional Inter-Governmental Groups • Non-Profit Industry Associations • Other
The Future… Now • Access to policy/regulatory data • Promotion of regionally harmonised regulation • Technological trends • Improved access to improving technology • Technological training • Exploitation of new market opportunities • Developing applications • New business & investment encouraged
