  1. KASAT: LA SOLUZIONE AL DIGITAL DIVIDEAchille De Tommaso Amministratore Delegato Skylogic S.p.A.Broadband Forum – Roma 17 maggio 2012LA BANDA LARGA NELL’ITALIA DELLE REGIONI

  2. KA-SAT, the biggest HTS (High Thoughput Satellite) in the sky today 35 x more capacity than traditional satellites KA-SAT, the ‘80 Gb/s Gorilla’ the biggest HTS in the sky today

  3. Digital Divide: an immediate issue Impacts economic growth, corporate efficiency, job creation, social inclusion A priority endorsed by EU27 (Broadband For All in 2013) Initiatives: France Numérique 2012, Digital Britain, National Broadband Scheme (Ireland) 30 million households in Europe have less than 2 Mbps broadband Of which 13 million with dial-up Internet access Why is broadband important? How big is Europe’s digital divide?

  4. A full integrated system, satellite and ground segment Satellite: Very High Throuput on KA-SAT, thanks to Ka-band spectrum Multi-spot beams (82) High frequency reuse (20 times) …with a very effective ground technology 10 gateways all over Europe linked to the main European PoP and Internet backbone ViaSat SurfBeam 2 technology Operators of HTS need to manage the full infrastructure

  5. KA-SAT is a next-generation satellite. It has 82 beams, operating in Ka-band, using circular polarization.

  6. KA-SAT is a new net of 10 interconnected teleports. It is the first time that 10 teleports work together feeding the same satellite for broadband services. Helsinki Cork Berlin Rambouillet Turin Udine Madrid Scanzano Athens Cyprus

  8. THE FIGURES OF KA-SAT: the largest HTS in the sky An integrated system : satellite and ground segment Satellite: High Quality services all over Europe KA-SAT advanced ground segment • 10 gateways across Europe • Linked to the main European PoP and Internet backbone • Integrated satellite system using ViaSat SurfBeam 2

  9. KA-SAT is a “game changer” Removing barriers to cost-effective IP applications High speed connectivity comparable to terrestrial solutions Lower cost bandwidth Lower cost volume terminals Easy installation & operations Unrivalled capacity available Expanding opportunities for Digital Divide areas New generation of mass-market broadband solution New point-to-point IP applications for Business

  10. A wide range of services on KA-SAT • Consumer / SOHO B2B2C Tooway™ • Enterprises, Institutions and Public Authorities Professional Data Network • News agencies • Enterprises Satellite News Gathering B2B • National, regional TV • Enterprises Broadcasting

  11. Tooway™ means up to 20 Mb/s for all Broadband for everyone everywhere A true always-on service comparable to DSL Up to 20Mb/s downstream - 10Mb/s upstream Full triple-play, plus DTH TV reception from neighbouring Ku-band satellites Easy operation and installation Easy-to-install and as accessible as satellite television Plug and play Benefits from volume first-generation satellite broadband USA - WildBlue to half a million homes, Europe - Eutelsat (Skylogic) Tooway™

  12. A full ecosystem for mass-market, enterprises and Public authorities Satellite Operator Broadband Provider Channel Partners Installers End Users Leading European satellite company, operating the KA-SAT satellite Service providers and distributors Installers Eutelsat broadband affiliate, managing Tooway™ sales, engineering and network operations Paying consumers

  13. Necessity of efficiency when using public funds Cost of roll-out of terrestrial technologies in dispersed areas increases with remoteness E.g. fiber: 10-20 times higher for the last 10-20% of population

  14. FUNDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE OR FUNDING A BROADBAND SERVICE ? Objective has to be the provision of broadband services in the shortest possible time at the most convenient cost High speed satellite connectivity is comparable to terrestrial solutions; so USE FIRST WHAT YOU HAVE AVAILABLE Lower cost bandwidth Lower cost volume terminals Easy installation & operations Unrivalled capacity available Satellite Connectivity represents an opportunity for building NOT ONLY INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT SERVICES FROM THE BEGINNING. There are industrial areas in Italy where manufacturers go off from Satellite technology can keep them there; allowing for critical mass to be established and qualify the use of fiber at a later stage.
