  2. Agenda • Government Uses for Commercial SATCOM • The Future COMSATCOM Services Acquisition (FCSA) Program • GSA - DISA Partnership • Contract Availability • Task Order Pricing

  3. How does commercial satellite support the Government? • Reliable communications where no wire line or wireless infrastructure exists • Communications for the Warfighter and DoD Support • Quickly deployed Domestic Emergency Response Communications • Continuity of Operations/Service Diversity • Supplements Terrestrial Networks

  4. Mobile Satellite Communications • Satellite Phones – Voice & Low Rate Data • Iridium – Provides voice and data services. Data rates up to 2.4 kbps. Covers the whole earth, including poles, oceans, and airways. • Globalstar –Provides voice and data services. Data rates up to 9.6 kbps . Coverage area includes North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and parts of Africa. • Voice and Data Services • Inmarsat – Inmarsat provides mobile voice and high speed data services. Includes Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN). Data rates range from 600bps to 492kbps. Coverage area includes about 98% of the earth’s land mass area.

  5. Fixed Satellite Communications • Bandwidth • Terminals • Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) -1m to 3m Dishes • Large Terminals – 3m to 6m > 6m Dish Size < 1m

  6. Distance Learning Solutions Satellite provides an effective and economical way to deliver interactive training to widely dispersed personnel • Uses: • Medical Training • Aircraft Maintenance • Homeland Defense • Biological Terrorism • Multicultural Training

  7. Internet Access, Video Streaming and Broadcast Services • Network backbone links over satellite • Corporate VSAT applications • Consumer applications (video on demand) • Real time video distribution (IPTV) GSA SATCOM Program Offers IP Based Services with Global Coverage Shared Access Services

  8. Continuity of Operations • Providing satellite connectivity when • terrestrial connection (frame relay, MPLS, T1, etc.) is not available. • Routing Overview: • Routes traffic over wire-line or satellite paths based on policy based rules • Loss of primary path will result in all traffic being re-routed over the other path • Upon restoral of primary link, all traffic re-routed back to primary path • Path Diversity using Satellite for to achieve COOP Satellite backup as “Insurance”

  9. Emergency Response/Disaster Recovery GSA SATCOM Contracts offer:

  10. Schedule 70 COMSATCOM Networx • Satellite Bandwidth • Subscription Services • Mobile Services • Inmarsat, Iridium • Equipment • Satellite Service • for Global Network • Access/Extension How does GSA Offer Satellite Services?...
