Agenda


Introduction to KA-SAT


• Launched End of December 2010

• Operational in May 2011

• Orbital position: 9°E

• Frequency band: Ka

The Eutelsat “KA-SAT” Satellite


Multispot Ka-Band Coverage

• Coverage: 82 beams

• Full European Coverage

• Total capacity: 70 Gbps (up to 475Mbps per Spot)


• An integrated system for the provision of Broadband Internet Connectivity to residential users via bidirectional affrodable User Terminals

The KA-SAT main Target

KA-SAT @ 9°East

Tooway™ Kit


Multispot Ka-Band Coverage

• Coverage: 82 beams

• Full European Coverage

• Total capacity: 70 Gbps (up to 475Mbps per Spot)

4 Colours = 4 Freq/Pol Slots repeated all over coverage

82 Beams

Frequencies are reused 20 times


A closer look to a Beam

19,7 – 20,2 GHz

~250 MHz

FWD

Each Single Beam is fed via KA-SAT with ~250 MHz of Bandwidth (called also “FWD” Capacity)


A closer look to a Beam

Each Single Beam is fed via KA-SAT with ~250 MHz of Bandwidth (called also “FWD” Capacity)

Terminals within a Beam have available ~250 MHz of “RTN” Capacity for transmitting back to KA-SAT

There are 82 Beams from KA-SAT. As each one is fed with ~250 MHz of bandwidth, it comes that KA-SAT Satellite must be fed with 82 x 250 MHz ~ 20 GHz (!)

29,5 – 30 GHz ~250 MHz

RTN


How is it possible to Feed KA-SAT with 20 GHz

of Info?

• It is possible only reusing more than one time the same Slot of Frequency (example: 10 times

the same slot of 2 GHz)


Dedicated Ground Infrastructure

8 “Gateways” (9m + 500 Watt Earth Stations)

Operated by the Italian Subsidiary Skylogic

Fiber ring fully redunded (20 GB + 20 GB)

KA-SAT Backbone is accessible via Network POPs

News Gathering via Satellite

and the IP Revolution:

why is KA-SAT so innovative for SNG?


OU Data Gathering: Ka Advantages

• 1st Consideration: EFP (Electronic Field Production) equipment are becoming cheaper and

cheaper (they have become already, actually…)

~35-80 k€ ~3-8 k€



• 2nd Consideration: The EFP/ENG WorkFlow has moved from Tape to Memory-Card with -

again - significant reductions in cost and a seamless integration into IP networks



• Result: EFP production requires today a very limited investment and is seamlessly integrated

into IP Networks; EFP systems can today be deployed in large volumes by Broadcasters due to

their improved affordability

+ + =

Light +

Cheap + IP

• So, Broadcasters are looking for Cheap and Light systems, providing IP

connectivity, as an ideal complement of today’s EFP System for News Gathering


The Concept to its extremes...

• The Ideal Complement of the “Extremely Light” Digital Workflow

• An highly portable, light, compact terminal, IP native, performant for LIVE

Video and FILE Push

( + )


Characteristics of NewsSpotter

Light • easy to transport (backpack possible)

• easy to manage

Performant (up to 20 Mbit)

• perfect for most applications (also HD)

High Availability

• perfect for Occasional Use

Perfect for OU Newsgathering

IP • perfect integration into IP workflows

Terminal Acceptance

• To operate on KA-SAT, Terminals

need to receive Eutelsat Validation

and Approval

• Eutelsat ESOG Document details

the acceptance procedure

– Static Tests

– Autopointing Tests

• Eutelsat approved Antennas will be

recognisable by a proper Logo and

Certification


Terminal Licensing

• Ruled by ECC Decision 06/03

– Exemption From Individual Licensing of

High EIRP Satellite Terminals (HEST)

Earth and 29.5-30.0 GHz Earth to Space

Frequency Band

• The ECC Decision exempts from

individuale licensing Terminals having an

EIRP < 60 dBW (in some countries the limit

is lowered to 50 dBW)

• ECC Decision 06/03 is adopted in all CEPT

Countries – Albania, Andorra, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and

Accessing the Bandwidth:

Booking


Booking

• The Service is fully operated by Skylogic, the

Italian Subsdiary of Eutelsat based in Turin

• Skylogic NOC also provides Support in case of

Troubleshooting


Booking

• Web-based Self-Booking

– Each Customer is provided with access to a Service

Webportal (OSS)

– The portal provides informations on all terminals

belonging to the Customer

• Alive, Off, Configuration, Rate, Beam etc...


Booking

• Booking is done on the web via the Skylogic OSS Portal

– The Customer specifies

• The User Terminal he uses (each UT is uniquely identified by its MAC

Address)

• The location from where he will be doing the Contribution (used to determine

the Beam)

– NOTE: NewsSpotter Terminals are not limited to work from a single

Beam, they can work from ALL of the Beams (“Beamless”

Configuration)

• The Timeslot of the Contribution

• The Bitrate he requires on the RTN and on the FWD link

• If the Terminal is not Booked, it will still get connectivity and will be forwarded to the

OSS Booking page

– This allows the SNG to go on site in case of Breaking News, deploy the antenna,

and perform an “immediate” booking

Products and Prices


Commercial Model

• We are not selling MHz, we are selling GBytes

– The Customer pays the transferred Volume instead of the Frequency slot

used

• Example

– 1 hour of transfer @ 4Mbps = 1.8 GBytes

Volume transferred in 1 hour

Transfer bit-rate Volume transferred

1 Mbps 0.45 GB

2 Mbps 0.9 GB

4 Mbps 1.8 GB

8 Mbps 3.6 GB

12 Mbps 5.4 GB

Time to transfer 1 GB

Transfer bit-rate Time to transfer

1 Mbps 2h13

2 Mbps 1h07

4 Mbps 33 min

8 Mbps 17 min

12 Mbps 11 min


Commercial Model

• The Service can be marketed in 2 main modes

– Occasional Use Committed via Booking

– Permanently Reserved CIR per Beam (IP

Connect)


1 - Commercial Model - Occasional Use via

Booking

• The Customer purchases Volume, and he uses it “little by little” when doing contribution with its fleet of terminals

– It’s like filling a tank with gasoline

– The faster the car, the higher the Gasoline consumption (the higher the transmission rate, the higher the volume consumed)

• Increased flexibility

– A terminal can work at different speed on different dates

– The individual Terminal does not have any FAP

• The model foresee monthly “Traffic Plans”

– Monthly plan specifies a monthly volume

– The higher the Volume engagement of the Plan, the lower the price

– The sum of the volume used during the month by Customer Fleet will be accounted and billed out of the Monthly Plan


1 - Commercial Model - Occasional Use via

Booking

• Ka

– 1 hour @ 4 Mbit (perfect for SD) uses 1.8 GBytes

• Ku

– Price vary a lot on the basis of timeslot (Primetime, Daytime,

Nightime)

– Price vary a lot on the basis of commitment

Thus, KA costs from 2/3 to 1/5 the price of Ku

– Thus 1 hour of SD contribution @ 4 Mbit costs from ~32.8 € to ~109.35 €

– On average, one hour of 4 MHz (~4Mbit) cost ~ 150 €
