Multispot Ka-Band Coverage
• Coverage: 82 beams
• Full European Coverage
• Total capacity: 70 Gbps (up to 475Mbps per Spot)

A closer look to a Beam
19,7 – 20,2 GHz
~250 MHz

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

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)

News Gathering via Satellite
and the IP Revolution:
why is KA-SAT so innovative for SNG?
www.skylogic.com Page - 18
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€
www.skylogic.com Page - 19
OU Data Gathering: Ka Advantages
• 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
www.skylogic.com Page - 20
OU Data Gathering: Ka Advantages
• 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

Booking
www.skylogic.com Page - 60
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
www.skylogic.com Page - 61
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...
www.skylogic.com Page - 62
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

Commercial Model
• The Service can be marketed in 2 main modes
– Occasional Use Committed via Booking
– Permanently Reserved CIR per Beam (IP
Connect)
www.skylogic.com Page - 68
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
www.skylogic.com Page - 72
• Permanently Reserved CIR per Beam (IP Connect)
– Throughput is permanently (24/24 and 365/365)
reserved for Customer’s use
– on a Beam per Beam basis
– Available to the entire Population of Terminals of the
Customer
– DOES NOT require booking, but the Customer must
take care that his population is not overloading the
available throughput
2 - Commercial Model - Permanent Reserved CIR
– Price is per Mbit per Beam per month (minimum initial
engagement: 12 months, then monthly extension)
www.skylogic.com Page - 73
2 - Commercial Model - Permanent Reserved CIR
• Permanently Reserved CIR per Beam (IP Connect)
– Example: An Italian broadcaster purchases
• 20 Mbit from the Spot covering Rome
• 14 Mbit from the Spot covering Milan
20 Mbit =
• 2 Terminals @ 10 Mbit each or
• 4 Terminals @ 5 Mbit each or
• …any combination not overspilling 20 Mbit
