  1. Meeting Future Bandwidth Demand Using Next Generation Satellite Architecture Gonzalo de Dios Assistant General Counsel 7 April 2013

  2. Demand for Bandwidth Is Growing at a Significant Rate Across Applications Served by Satellites Leverages existing infrastructure Higher efficiency allows further geographic penetration and data growth Increased efficiency enhances broadband performance on existing satellite ground infrastructure Highly reliable broadband with high throughput on single global platform creates operating efficiencies for service providers ISR requirements and COTM will benefit from higher throughput on existing hardware regardless of location Custom high throughput beams for super headend distribution; micro beams for regional content Growth projections from 2010–2020. Sources: Futron and Northern Sky Research

  3. To address this Growing Demand, a Different Satellite Architecture Is Required Example: • A 24 transponder Ku-band satellite typically provide about 1 or 2 Gbps of throughput on conventional satellites • Multi-spot architecture will enable 10-30 times throughput increase • Frequency reuse provides a much better utilization of spectrum • Reach more people with better economics Legacy Broad Beams Future Multi-spot Beams

  4. High Performance Satellite Platform High Capacity Open Platform High Efficiency Backward Compatible High Throughput Flexible High Performance Complementary Overlay Multi-band All-region Coverage Resilient and Secure Lower Cost of Ownership Intelsat Confidential and Proprietary Page: 4

  5. Intelsat EpicNG A high-performance, next-generation satellite platform that delivers global high throughput technology without sacrificing user control of service elements and hardware Intelsat Confidential and Proprietary

  6. The Rural Areas Are Not Well Served • 45% of the world’s population live in rural regions • They are expected to consume only 15% of the total mobile traffic • 30% of the world population consumes 60% of the traffic • They occupy only 1% of the worlds land area • There is still no service to a significant population living in rural areas • Cost of extending networks to rural areas is high • High cost and low ARPUs are primary reasons for low penetration

  7. Microwave Extending Coverage to the Network Edge Low-density Rural Areas Rural Areas Suburban Areas Fiber / Copper Core backbone Urban-Areas Satellite 2 km 50-100 km Over 100 km Network Build-Out from Core Backbone • Satellite-based solutions are a natural fit for fulfilling the promise of universal connectivity

  8. Satellites Play a Key Role in Wireless Extension Services to Rural Areas • Geostationary satellites have been used to cover large areas, serving millions of mobile subscribers. Their main advantages are: • fast deployment • reliability • Helps lower power requirements for service delivery • And now high throughput and lower cost • Advances in Pico and Femto cell architectures, in conjunction with satellites, allow for lower cost deployments in less populated rural areas

  9. Mobile Devices Are a Major Source of New Broadband Demand, Creating Gaps and Stressing Infrastructure Terrestrial and space infrastructure need to evolve to support dramatic data consumption pattern changes globally Source: Cisco VNI 2012

  10. Staying Connected ... in the Air and at Sea • Today’s satellite beams are designed predominantly for land mass coverage • Majority of beams are over land • Mobility requirements compete with other markets for capacity • Antenna size and throughput needs are unmet • Optimized coverage is at the expense of performance • Broadening the beam (and its appeal) diminishes throughput • Majority of coverage not required for preponderance of traffic Throughput or coverage? You choose

  11. No Need for Compromises • Focused, high throughput coverage for key routes • Required throughput • Lower terminal costs • Open architecture • Optimized coverage providing super high throughput • Fulfills unmet throughput needs • Required availability performance • Existing platform & terminal equipment • Improved economics • Integrated with IntelsatONESM Coverage, performance, control of economics

  12. Today’s Satellite Capacity Provides a Bridge to Intelsat EpicNG… • Intelsat mobility capacity is designed to service needs of the Maritime and Aeronautical segments • Enable and develop business • Supplemented with beams for high traffic regions • Blend of coverage and performance • Today’s platform and terminal solutions deployed without concern for redundancy Forward compatibility enables use of existing capacity to service today’s needs

  13. …And Will Complement The New • Existing wide coverage beams utilized to enable a total solution • Provides for “thin” or temporary routes • Vehicle for overlay applications • Optimum solution for coverage, throughput, service delivery, economics Backwards compatibility enables use of existing capacity to complement the new
