  1. ACHIEVING BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY AND CONVERGENCE THROUGH NigComSat-1R SATELLITE INFRASTRUCTURE WEST AFRICA CONVERGENCE CONFERENCE -WACC 2015ONTHEME: ADDRESSING INFRASTRUCTURAL CHALLENGES IN A CONVERGED MARKET Presented by: IBIYE MEMBERR 13th November NIGERIAN COMMUNICATIONS SATELLITE (NIGCOMSAT) LIMITED 1

  2. Lets Begin… You must have connectivity before you can even talk of broadband and Convergence can only be spoken of if Broadband is available

  3. Internet Connectivity vs. Population Internet users in 2012 as a percentage of a country's population Source: Wikipedia

  4. Internet Connectivity Progress in Africa • Urban • Suburban • Rural 80% of the African population resides here! Minimal Connectivity to zero connectivity Fair degree of Connectivity

  5. Internet Connectivity & Usage Table 1 – Africa compared to the whole world has only 9.6 percent of internet users of 2015 Q2 with only 27 percent of its population able to access internet Table 2 – Nigeria has the highest internet users in Africa at 29.6% of the whole continent of 2015 Q2 and has 51% of its population accessing internet Source: Internet World Stats – www.internetworldstats.com

  7. Broadband? Broadband has become as vital to life as the water we must drink daily. Businesses would hardly succeed in todays age without high speed connection and the applications that drive processes. Broadband is the “transmission capacity that is faster than primary rate Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) at 1.5 or 2.0 Megabits per second (Mbits)”. (Recommendation I.113 of the ITU Standardization Sector)

  8. So much amount of content landing at the shore. Poor extension to the rural areas where 80% of the population lives. An efficient and fast solution (SATCOM) can bridge the gap while a gradual sustainable terrestrial network expansion solution is agreed upon.

  9. Broadband- Steps Forward A national Roadmap is in Place which will promote the Nigerian Broadband Vision by dealing with challenges of Broadband operators such as: High cost of right of ways. Long delays in permit Multiple taxation by the layers of government Issues of Multiple regulatory bodies Damage to fibre infrastructure due to Road constructions

  10. Nigeria's National broadband plan 2013-2018

  11. Convergence… • Convergence can be seen in the context of a technology enabled digital state in which voice, texts, video, pictures, broadcasts, presentation, streaming media, global connectivity and personalized services; are provided through common platform – Internet Protocol. • This service convergence is also driven largely by infrastructural convergence.

  12. Convergence… • Network convergence is largely driven by the ubiquitous connectivity to the internet

  13. Convergence… can we extend infrastructure • The economic expansion of the terrestrial connectivity and reliable broadband into rural and sub-urban areas borders around • The low population density in rural areas • Remoteness of communities • Harsh climates • Financial obstacles • With satellite technology you can have a wide range of tailored solutions per group of customers through years of proven service delivery that can work as a stand alone as well as complimentary technology to extend broadband to rural areas and hence facilitate faster convergence

  14. NigComSat-1R… • NigComSat-1R satellite has been in operation since 19th March, 2012 after successful In-Orbit Test and In-Orbit Delivery. With modest achievement in terms of improving and driving national broadband within Private and Government establishments.

  15. NigComSat-1R Payload • The communication Payload comprises of 40 transponders; 28 active and 12 And Seven Service Antennas

  16. NigComSat-1R Footprints Ku-Band: ECOWAS 2 Beam Ku-Band: Ecowas 1 Beam

  17. NigComSat-1R Footprints C-Band Coverage Ku-Band: Kashi Beam

  18. NigComSat-1R Footprints Ka-Band: European Beam Ka-Band: Nigeria Beam

  19. Ka-Band: South African Beam

  20. ODU Sizes

  21. Conclusion • The success of Nigeria’s information technology policy and infrastructure in the short and medium term remains wireless systems (Space and terrestrially based). • Satellite Communications have a competitive advantage as they complement the present sparsely distributed terrestrial links. • The NIGCOMSAT-1R as the first indigenously operated and managed communication satellite is fast-tracking development and playing a critical role in delivering ICT readiness with spin-off benefits too numerous to mention here. • NigComSat-1R Communication Satellite remains a “low hanging fruit” ready to drive and improve broadband penetration in Nigeria.

  22. Conclusion The big picture of broadband connectivity in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
