  1. CANTO 2008Satellite’s Role in Connecting the Caribbean

  2. SES NEW SKIES • A global satellite communications provider, based in The Hague, the Netherlands • 100% owned by SES, the world's premier satellite group • Operate a fleet of seven in-orbit satellites • Global presence:  The Hague (HQ)  Washington, D.C.  Singapore  Beijing  Sydney  Johannesburg  Sao Paulo

  3. SES NEW SKIES’ satellite fleet • 36 Satellites: 34 operated by wholly-owned subsidiaries and 2 through equity participations • Located at 25 orbital positions

  4. NSS-806 Satellite Facts Orbital Location: 319.5 East Launch Date: 1998 EOL: 2016 Payload: C-band: 36 transponders Ku-band: 6 transponders Coverage: Americas, Caribbean and Western Europe NSS-806 ‘Hotbird’ for the Americas • One of two leading satellites for Caribbean and Latin American program distribution • 130 channel community reaches approximately 14 million homes and 4,500 cable headends across the region • Provides ‘single beam’ C-band coverage of Caribbean, Latin America and Western Europe - ideal for European broadcasters seeking Caribbean coverage (and vice-versa)

  5. NSS-7 Satellite Facts Orbital Position: 338  East Launch Date: 2002 EOL: 2016 Payload: C-band: 49 transponders Ku-band: 48 transponders Coverage: Atlantic Ocean region, including the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East NSS-7 Unrivalled Atlantic Coverage • Distributed governmental and enterprise networks • Home to a historically strong African video neighborhood • Reaches 3.5 million homes in Sub-Saharan Africa via DTH, MMDS and terrestrial retransmission • Carries over 100 channels in 8 languages • 338 East is one of the leading trans-Atlantic locations for permanent and OU/SNG feeds • Home to multiple GSM trunking networks across Africa, broadband circuits in the Caribbean and South America.

  7. Connecting the Caribbean • Connect the Caribbean Objective: “Connecting the Unconnected by 2015” • Caribbean Geography Demands Satellite Connectivity • Small Island States • Subject to weather related disasters which stress terrestrial based infrastructure • Rural and remote areas with limited connectivity • Low cost applications

  8. Broadband Access • Large projects aimed at closing the “Digital Divide” • Internet cafés – Hot spots • Remote GSM and WiMax sites • Incomplete coverage of existing terrestrial fiber, copper or wireless networks • Rural networks • Multi tenants – condominiums • Add value to future DTH and IPTV systems

  9. Examples of current networks • GSM Backhaul Network in the South Pacific Islands • Digital circuits connecting cell sites in Samoa, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and Fiji • 10 sites • C-band • Rural Telephony Network in the Dominican Republic • Voice network for pay-phones • 500 sites • Ku-band • Broadband Network for Remote Schools in Nicaragua • IP connectivity and educational content • 60 sites • C-band • Telemedicine in Haiti • IP connectivity and videoconferencing • 2 sites • C-band

  11. What Was…

  12. Market Value of Mobile TV market* in € billion Global Market CAGR: 72.9% What’s New… Broadband Mobile Platforms Mobile Media • Market Status: • Expansion of commercial shipping and recreational maritime segments • Resuscitation of Aeronautical market • What SES NEW SKIES does today • Work with our customers MTN-SeaLink, Broadband Maritime, Telenor etc. to provision broadband solutions to ocean-going vessels • Future Opportunities • Continue to work with customers and value-chain customers to support the growth of truly global mobile broadband networks • Market Status: • DMB-S has had success in Japan/Korea • DVB-H is being adopted in Europe and several other Emerging Markets • What SES does today • Exploratory SOLARIS JV with Eutelsat to explore S-band payload to support DVB-H services in Europe (feeder and direct-to-handset) • Future Opportunities • We see strong potential in Satellite feeder links to 3G base-stations and DVB-H repeaters

  13. What’s Needed… • All satellite operators need spectrum to deliver their services • Our evolving technology uses it more efficiently and cost-effectively • Regulatory environment must be predictable • Regulators must safeguard the delivery mechanisms of satellites… • …as for other critical infrastructure

  14. Example: C-Band Use in the Caribbean • 3.4 – 4.2 GHz • Backhaul services for telecoms networks • Point-to-point trunking • Government and strategic communications • High-volume data and broadcast transmission • Rural telephony services • Avionics • Maritime services • ‘Lifeblood of the satellite industry’

  15. Can Satellites Share C-band With Other Technologies? Example: WiMax… • …150km exclusion zone needed • Exclusion zones are dependent on terrain type and may need to be much bigger • Many users are not listed so creating exclusion zones is often impossible

  16. Conclusions • SES New Skies: committed to increasing service over the Caribbean • Significant expansion of its fleet planned in the next 3 years • Caribbean customer growth foreseen for long term for… • …Broadband, government, and safety services • Satellite use of spectrum must be preserved to ensure continued connectivity • Satellite use of C band should be safeguarded in particular • New technologies must be implemented in a way that preserves existing services
