1
KA-SAT, THE ‘80 GB/S GORILLA’ THE BIGGEST HTS IN THE SKY TODAY
2
KA-SAT, the biggest HTS (High Thoughput Satellite) in the sky today
35 x more capacity than traditional satellites35 x more capacity than traditional satellites
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
How big is Europe’s digital divide?Why is broadband important?
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 infrastructureOperators of HTS need to manage the full infrastructure

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

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.
