Forced to Chose?

Continuous – fixed allocation per site

Good for:

o Small number of sites – no over subscription

o High activity ratio per site – or all peaks at the same time

o Excellent single channel utilization – and high maximal transmission rate

o Lowest latency

MF-TDMA – with dynamic RT BW allocation per site

Good for:

o Many sites sharing a BW pool – over subscription – low overall bandwidth

o Low average activity ratio per site

o Medium transmission rate

o Single channel utilization is average (Overheads)

VSAT

SCPC

The Service Gap requires a

compromise in some cases Opportunity

Accent


Introducing “SkyEdge II - Accent”

One Network Two Waveforms

● A single hybrid network Platform

● Sub-second switching between TDMA to SCPC and back

Accent


Unified System – SCPC and TDMA

● Accent – one MODEM for SCPC and TDMA

● Unified System

● Unified DVB-S2 Outbound for TDMA and SCPC VSATs

● DVB-RCS or DVB-S2 IB

● Same NMS; Same hub; Same VSATs

● All remote VSATs are managed (SCPC or TDMA)

● DVB-S2 ACM inbound, 0.3-10Msps

● Speed to 24Mbps inbound or 24Mbps outbound, total 40Mbps with 9,000

PPS

● SCPC oversubscription

● On Demand TDMA to SCPC Switchover

● Change from TDMA to SCPC and back to TDMA on the fly

● Automatic and Dynamic Triggering

Accent


Triggering – TDMA to SCPC and Back

● Volume thresholds – 60% utilization?

● The Classifier - analyzes the inbound traffic of the VSAT

● The Destination IP Addresses

● TCP/UDP ports

● Protocol

● Business continuity - failure of a terrestrial primary connection

will automatically switch the VSAT to SCPC Mode

● Date/time Schedule – automatic switching through API to existing

logging system

Performance Acceleration

● Innovative caching technology

● Embedded multi-Giga Byte microSD memory

● Cache VSAT – for many PCs behind a VSAT

● Cache Multicast – distributing common content to

whole beam

● Advanced Caching Technology for non-HTTP traffic;

video, e-mail, ftp, etc…

● Enhanced user experience

● Significantly improves satellite bandwidth efficiency

Steve Collar, CEO, O3b Networks: -

“Gilat’s leadership in Ka-band satellite technology

coupled with their experience in the cellular

backhaul and enterprise markets makes Gilat a

great partner for O3b. Gilat's unique solution will

allow our customers the flexibility to operate both

SCPC and TDMA from the same hub, VSATs and

network management system - an important feature

for today's service providers looking for flexibility

and efficiency in their networks,"

Accent


meoEdge O3b Terminal

● meoEdge terminal is comprised of dual SkyEdge II Accent VSATs

● High performance satellite terminal supporting service rates up to

35 Mbps “Down” and 24Mbps “Up” on O3b MEO constellation

● Symmetrical: 20 Mbps / 20 Mbps

● Seamless handover between the O3b satellites

● Dual inbound waveforms: MF-TDMA (DVB-RCS) and SCPC (DVB-

S2 ACM)

● Ideal for: IP-Trunking, Video Collaboration, ISP PoP, Business

continuity applications

16

Accent


meoEdge O3b Terminal

● Simplified Operation - single management system including

bandwidth management of both MF-TDMA and SCPC satellite

carriers

● High availability: DVB-S2 ACM outbound and DVB-S2 or DVB-RCS

adaptive inbound

● Feature-rich functionality – IP Routing and optimization of

performance with strong support of data, voice and video

C-Ku band backup - concept

● Full backup in the event of extreme and harsh remote fade

● The Backup network

Operation with GEO satellite

Same remote and hub HW as O3b network – can work GEO / MEO

Can be sized to support backup of a small percentage of the network

Supports QoS , e.g. Voice priority over data

When in idle mode, almost no BW is needed (shared sync channel)

● Can be configured to perform switchover in partial fade events (before

disconnect occurs)

● Network convergence time of few seconds

● Backup network requirements :

Additional VSAT - fits in already existing O3b terminal cabinet

Additional RFT

Backhaul links between O3b teleport and the backup teleport
