  14. Agenda • Brief Newtec Introduction • Connect Africa – Challenges and Opportunities • 3 Working Examples • Rwanda • Nigeria • Seychelles • 1 Field Trial in Nigeria • Conclusions 14

  15. Backbone Access in Africa....

  16. Challenges ISP’s Face in Africa • Increasing demand (Internet Cafes,VoIP applications) • Very limited terrestrial infrastructure • Sparse satellite capacity • Older/inclined orbit satellites • Dispersed sites with varying rain fade conditions • Different earth station/antenna sizes

  17. Agenda • Brief Newtec Introduction • Connect Africa – Challenges and Opportunities • 3 Working Examples • Rwanda • Nigeria • Seychelles • 1 Field Trial in Nigeria • Conclusions 17

  18. 3 Working Examples + 1 Field Trial Enabling access to ISPs in Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda Enabling WiMax break out in Nigeria Enabling increased demand to the Seychelles Islands Field Trial - Cobranet in Nigeria With Why?

  19. Reminder - Typical IP Trunking Network Elevation – IP Modem PEP-Box 3000 Acceleration and QoS Terminal Local ISP Azimuth - High Speed Modulator Elevation – IP Modem PEP-Box 3000 Acceleration and QoS Terminal PEP-Box 4000 Acceleration and QoS Server Elevation – IP Demodulator bank Elevation – IP Modem

  20. HUB Variable Coding and Modulation (VCM) • One service per destination site • All services multiplexed together • Each service is encoded and • modulated with its own set of • parameters, on the same carrier Up to 60% more efficient than DVB-S! 16APSK2/3 Multiplexed Carrier 8PSK3/5 8PSK2/3 QPSK4/5 • The multiplexed carrier does not need to be dimensioned according to the worst site!

  21. Agenda • Brief Newtec Introduction • Connect Africa – Challenges and Opportunities • 3 Working Examples • Rwanda • Nigeria • Seychelles • 1 Field Trial in Nigeria • Conclusions 21

  22. Reference Case 1: • IP trunking network from Sweden to multiple sites in Rwanda, Africa • Using an older, low performance satellite (Intelsat 603) @ 340E • Various remote site configurations (2.4m to 7m antenna) • Unable to establish reliable links using previous mod/cod • Success with DVB-S2 and VCM! • Technology enabler allowing local ISPs to develop rural Internet access

  23. VCM Implementation Intelsat 603 QPSK 2/3 2.4m 28 dBW 32m C-band Service 1 Sweden 8PSK 3/4 4,5m Service 1 Service 2 Service 2 16APSK 5/6 NTC/2280 DVB-S2 VCM modulator With XPE encapsulation 31 dBW Service 3 Service 3 7m Rwanda

  24. Agenda • Brief Newtec Introduction • Connect Africa – Challenges and Opportunities • 3 Working Examples • Uganda • Nigeria • Seychelles • 1 Field Trial in Nigeria • Conclusions 24

  25. Reference Case 2: • IP trunking network from Germany to multiple sites in Nigeria, Africa for • WiMax breakout application • Various remote site configurations (2.4m to 4.5m antenna) • Success with DVB-S2 and VCM! • Web sites open 3-4 times faster • Time-sensitive applications are prioritized • Technology enabler allowing local ISPs to develop rural Internet access • via WiMax Combined bandwidth savings of 40 to 50 % True broadband experience for end-users 25

  26. VCM Implementation Intelsat 8PSK 8/9 4.5 m 8.1 m C-band Service 1 EL470 IP modem Germany 8PSK 5/6 EL830 PEP-Box Terminal 4.5m EL170 IP modulator (VCM) Service 2 Service 1 8APSK 2/3 Service 2 2.4 m EL830 PEP-Box Terminal EL970 IP demodulators Service 3 Service 3 EL830 PEP-Box Terminal EL840 PEP-Box Server Cluster Nigeria 26

  27. Agenda • Brief Newtec Introduction • Connect Africa – Challenges and Opportunities • 3 Working Examples • Uganda • Nigeria • Seychelles • 1 Field Trial in Nigeria • Conclusions 27

  28. Reference Case 3: • Gateway Communications and Intelvision – increasing backbone capacity to the Seychelles Islands with DVB-S2 • Cable TV operatorIntelvision awarded a license for voice telephony services in the Seychelles • 30% expected traffic growth due to triple play service of telephony, Internet and TV • No capacity over Africa/Seychelles, Gateway’s 36 MHz transponder fully utilised • Solution not in the sky, but on the ground! • Replaced Turbo Codec modems with Newtec’s state of the art DVB-S2 equipment • Immediate 30% increase in throughput within same bandwidth • Problem solved <until the next increase ;-) > Gateway Communications provides service to 37 African countries over 25 transponders of capacity

  29. Agenda • Brief Newtec Introduction • Connect Africa – Challenges and Opportunities • 3 Working Examples • Uganda • Nigeria • Seychelles • 1 Field Trial in Nigeria • Conclusions 29

  30. Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) 16APSK5/6 Each packet is encoded and modulated according to the instantaneous receive conditions of the target station Up to 130% more efficient than DVB-S! 16APSK3/4 16APSK2/3 Measured Rx Conditions ACM Hub • Mimimum rain fade required • Requires a return link • Leads to varying bandwidth conditions

  31. ACM Concept • ACM controllers are embedded in each modem • Controller on the demod relays the current conditions to the mod on the transmit end • Controller on mod reads this information from the demod and adjusts its transmit parameters • Optimised link performance is continuously ensured • No investment in space segment and ground station dimensioning ACM controller ACM controller

  32. Reference Case (Field Trial): Cobranet • Field trial Cobranet: • 18 MHz outbound Germany (Fuchsstadt) C-band – Nigeria (Ku) • 9 MHz return Nigeria (Ku) – Germany (C-band) • Installed on-board ACM controller in modems mid April • Original Intelsat link budget enabled 39 Mbps • Link now runs on 58 Mbps • Same E/S and satellite resources • Link has been up since installation, even during severe tropical rain showers with 15 dB fading

  33. Agenda • Brief Newtec Introduction • Connect Africa – Challenges and Opportunities • 3 Working Examples • Uganda • Nigeria • Seychelles • 1 Field Trial in Nigeria • Conclusions 33

  34. Conclusions: Turn to DVB-S2 • DVB-S2 increases your spectrum efficiency by at least 30 % • DVB-S2 is optimized for data transmission • DVB-S2 equipment is readily available (and interoperable) • Advanced traffic enhancement software further optimizes the bandwidth efficiency • It’s all about QoE (Quality of Experience)!
