3. Introduction to Intelsat

4. Intelsat is the Pioneer and Leader in Satellite Communications Intelsat is the largest satellite-based operator in terms of capacity and geographic reach. Intelsat launched the first commercial global satellite communications system in 1965, and has been transmitting the biggest moments in the world for everyone to share, ever since. Today, we maintain a global fleet of 50 in-service satellites covering 99% of the earth’s populated regions.

5. The Intelsat Globalized Network Infrastructure Approximately 50 satellites plus IntelsatOne, a fully-integrated ground infrastructure incorporating teleports, points of presence and IP/MPLS fiber network

12. C-Band Post WRC-15 and the Future

13. WRC – 15 Outcome: Identification of additional frequency bands for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) • Outcome: • 3400 - 3600 MHz has a nearly global identification for IMT • In Region 3 individual countries are included in a footnote identification. • 3600 - 3700 MHz identified for IMT (in 4 countries in Region 2) • 3700 - 4200 MHz is preserved for FSS globally • Mobile services remain secondary in the band 3600 - 4200 MHz in Asia • In C band the mobile industry has 200 MHz of almost globally identified spectrum for IMT • Asia was instrumental in preserving this band, ensuring the continued investment in C-band. WRC-15 re-confirmed the need to protect critical C-band spectrum for satellite.

14. Global map of IMT Identification in 3.4 - 3.7 GHz 3400 – 3600 MHz IMT Identification 3400 – 3700 MHz IMT Identification 3500 – 3600 MHz IMT Identification No IMT Identification 3400 – 3700 MHz

15. Is More C-band spectrum really needed for IMT? India should look at future spectrum use based on not only the demand for spectrum but also on economic & social value. • However considerable potential still remains for increasing 4G spectrum adoption in many countries, 4G network is expected to account for much of the $1.7 trillion of investment by MNO between now and 2020. (GSMA) • MNOs will continue to focus on generating a return on investment from 4G (and 3G) networks, whilst expansion of WiFi and integration with cellular will be key in supporting greater data rates of the 5G ecosystem. • Small Cell distribution • Small Cell distribution • More Spectrum Efficiency • More Spectrum Efficiency • Not all of the spectrum licensed to mobile operators is actually used to provide services to users. IMT can still grow and serve existing spectrum! Existing Spectrum Existing Spectrum Some of the requirements identified for IMT services can be enabled by existing efficient use of 4G / 3G, WIFI/RLAN or other terrestrial networks as well as satellite networks

16. Real Evidence of Mobile Data Growth Slowing Down In Sweden, Singapore and Japan growth is stagnating Already reaching the inflection point on the S-curve? They are countries that are ‘ahead of the curve’ on mobile usage Evidence clearly shows that this slow-down is not due to a lack of spectrum

17. C-band beams can cover large geographic areas, and facilitate intercontinental and global communications Due to broad reach, C-band allows for economically viable coverage of smaller markets and low density regions C-band can provide region-wide coverage at high availabilities, irrespective of rain zones Intelsat EpicNG satellites use C-band in multi-spot configuration C-band has unique propagation and coverage characteristics that cannot be replicated in other frequency bands Why C-Band Remains a Mainstay? Intelsat 901 @ 342° E The low atmospheric absorption in these bands enables highly reliable space-to-earth communication links with wide service coverage, particularly in, but not limited to, geographical areas with severe rain fade conditions

18. Satellite Role in 5G

19. Satellite Uses

20. Role of Satellite Systems in 5G Ecosystem HTS Satellite (GSO and NGSO) Typical User Throughput [bps/device] • IMT/ 5G is NOT about mobile technology only – it is more than just “Cellular” it is “Wireless” • 5G is an end-to-end ecosystem of different technologies • Satellites today can deliver data rate of > 100 Mbits/s – 1 Gbit/s in “broadcast / multi-cast” mode • By 2020 - 2025, satellite systems can deliver > 10 Gbit/s services and will require certainty and viability in spectrum access Higher throughput 5G x 100 - x 1 Big Cell Small Cell Coverage expansion Increase capacity IMT-Advanced x 10-3 User density [devices/km2] 10-3 103 1 Isolated Rural and Sub-urban Extreme Dense Urban

21. Satellite Role in 5G: Developing new ITU Recommendation • Intelsat worked with other satellite operators to develop an ITU Recommendation that looks at the role of satellite technology in 5G (Currently being finalized in WP4B). • The Recommendation will also seek to promote the following user cases: • Communications on the Move • Trunking and backhaul • Hybrid Multiplay • The end goal would promote the need to develop 3GPP standard that incorporates a satellite and terrestrial interface (e.g. 3GPP Release 16) this would implicitly safeguard satellite spectrum for the future

22. Many 5G use cases can be efficiently supported by satellite

23. Where does Intelsat Fit in to 5G? Source: 5G Use Case Families, NGMN 5G White Paper 2015     = Requires or benefits from Satellite  

24. Use Case 1: Content Multicasting over Satellite • Problem: A flood of requests for the same popular media content causes a surge in unicast requests that congests backhaul networks and results in a sub-optimal experience for all end-users • Satellite’s Role: • The same content can be multicast to an unlimited number of towers across a wide geographical area • As a result the burden of such traffic surges can be taken off of the MNO backhaul networks • The benefits of satellite can be further amplified by combining with caching at the edge via MEC • Satellite Benefits Delivered: • Facilitates eMBB • Cost savings for MNOs while improving 5G user experience

25. Use Case 2: Cellular Backhaul • Problem: Terrestrial backhaul connectivity is insufficient and/or unreliable and costly to upgrade • Satellite’s Role: • Satellites represent a pool of bandwidth that can be shared across multiple towers across a region, the pooled capacity can flexibly, cost-effectively and dynamically: • Provide connectivity where there is none • Allocate extra bandwidth to towers that need it • Provide DR when terrestrial networks become unusable • Cellular backhaul over satellite is already provided in many regions for 3G and 4G networks • Satellite Benefits Delivered: • Facilitates eMBB and uRLLC • Cost savings for MNOs in deploying 5G in rural/developing regions eNodeB site n VSAT Hub eNodeB Internet site 1 EPC (Evolved Packet Core)

28. Use Case 4: Connected Car • Problems: • 5G applications for connected cars become unavailable or unreliable outside of urban 5G coverage • Same content or data being delivered to millions of vehicles simultaneously is cost prohibitive and risks congesting backhaul networks • Satellite’s Role: • Pick up connectivity whenever terrestrial networks are unavailable or insufficient • Efficiently and cost-effectively multicasts popular infotainment content, or SOTA/FOTA data files • Satellite Benefits: • Facilitates eMBB, uRLLC, mMTC • Reduces costs for MNOs, auto manufacturers etc., enhances end-user experience

29. Use-Case 5: IoT • Problem: 5G massive IoT applications unavailable on moving vehicles and costly to implement in rural locations such as in agriculture • Satellite’s Role: • Provide extension of coverage for massive IoT for cars, trucks, buses and trains. • Support for 5G applications for IoT devices in rural locations without requiring costly updates to terrestrial network infrastructure • Satellite Benefits: • Facilitates mMTC • Reduces costs for MNOs and IoT service providers, expands reach of 5G IoT applications

30. New Satellite Application Outside India

31. New ECC Decision (18)04 Promoting Connected Car via Ku band ECC Decision was adopted on 6 July 2018 on the harmonized use, exemption from individual licensing and free circulation and use of land based Earth Stations In-Motion (ESIM) operating with GSO FSS satellite systems in the frequency bands 10.7-12.75 GHz and 14.0-14.5 GHz Intelsat led the work to allow harmonized use of the bands for Connected Car and Trains applications within Ku band Currently the Decision has been accepted within the CEPT Regulatory framework, however the next step is to start lobbying CEPT Admins to fully adopt the Decision within their licensing framework.
