Introduction to Internet Protocol Over Satellite(IPoS)TIA-1008 Sebastian Coe TSM 601 Professor Bowman Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008)
How is IPoS attractive as a business opportunity? Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008)
What Technologies is IPoS Replacing? • IPoS has the objective of replacing previous VSAT systems for satellite internet • In order to use these systems you had to be under the particular operator’s footprint, using only its technology • This forced users to only subscribe to their satellite provider and to be forced to pay whatever the provider felt fit as an acceptable rate Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008)
IPoS as a Business Opportunity • There are many potential winners from the implementation of IPoS, according to Hughes Network Systems these include [1]: • Residential and Corporate End Users • Applications Developers • VPN Application and Appliance Vendors • A/V Streaming, and Multimedia Appliance Vendors • PC Hardware, OS, and Appliance Vendors • Satellite Operators • Service Providers • Satellite Terminal and Appliance Developers • Hub Manufacturers Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008)
How will the ‘winners’ make money? • Satellite Operators: By selling transponder capacity • Application and Appliance Vendors: By creating software and Hardware systems compatible with IPoS • Service Providers: By offering users access to the internet through IPoS connected networks Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008)
How will the ‘winners’ make money? • PC Hardware, OS, Appliance Vendors: By selling more advanced systems that can take advantage of full-broadband • Hub Manufacturers: By Developing equipment that works well with the IPoS standard • End Users: Will benefit through lower costs and better service Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008)
But what are the Costs? • For Users: • Monthly Service Fees (as low as $30-40/month) • Equipment (many times included in monthly fee) [5] • For Satellite Operators: • Existing Transponder Capacity can be Used (no cost) • New satellites could be launched (80 million $ each) [10] Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008)
Making Money • Hughes Network Systems wished for its standard to be open for the greatest amount of interoperability between satellite systems • This means that a host of application developers can develop software to be run on IPoS systems with the assurance that it will work on a wide variety of networks. • More Users of an application means more potential for greater profits Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008)
Saving Money • An IPoS terminal is 30-40 percent cheaper than using other satellite terminals [9] • “there are several satellite operators who can offer global coverage without any investments in expensive terrestrial networks which is good news for ISPs.” [5] • Laying cable across the Atlantic costs 175 million dollars, much more than what it costs to develop and launch a successful comsat [10] Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008)
What Technology could Threaten IPoS? • WiMax: • A cheap solution for areas that cannot get traditional access to Cable and DSL technologies [9] • Does not require the setup, launch, and maintenance of expensive satellite technologies Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008)
