Why DVB-RCS For Mobile Solutions ?

A la Inmarsat

Soon several suppliers of interoperable terminals

Certification of interoperability

Many independent DVB-RCS network operators

Bandwidth efficient for mobile applications

Always on services.


8/30

Two terminal types are now

SatLabs Certified

Nera SatLink 1910

Nera SatLink 1000


9/30

In Addition ..

and even better than Inmarsat

Multiple voice channels

DVB-RCS standard provides scalability

No practical limitation on channel speeds

A lot of available bandwidth, works on all bands, Ku/Ka/C-band satellites

Much lower bandwidth costs, fixed cost/month.

QoS over IP


10/30

Cost savings with Cost saving with DVB-RCS


11/30

Very Powerful VoIP Performance

Example from deliveries to Telemar in Brazil in co-operation with Siemens:

Without header compression:

12- 13 kbps per voice channel each direction

With header compression:

10 - 11 kbps

Voice is prioritised in order to reduce delay and for high quality


12/30

Challenges Using DVB-RCS For Mobile Solutions

Compared with Inmarsat:

Today's coverage mainly in Americas and Europe

Rain fading in e.g. South East Asia and parts of South America

Service availability down to 99,5 %

Lacks roaming between operators and also within same operator

Higher equipment cost

Larger size of equipment

All these challenges will be solved or reduced

Roaming And Hand-Over For Maritime

Nera will offer terminals which can do:

automatic switch-over between beams and operators of

DVB-RCS compatible Gateways

automatic switch-over to e.g. Inmarsat Fnn in areas

lacking DVB-RCS coverage


15/30

Rain Fading Challenges

DVB-RCS offers a tool box for maintaining the return link with heavy rain fading

Automatic changing code rate and symbol rate is implemented in the Nera Gateway

Best spectral efficiency or speed under all link conditions

DVB-S2 will offer the same tool box in the forward direction

Automatic changing code rate and modulation technique

DVB-RCS At Sea


17/30

Key Trends In Maritime Communication

Maritime applications demand higher and higher bandwidth

More and more routes at sea will be covered with broadband services

Demands for fixed monthly cost is expected similar to ADSL provision

A combination of different satcom systems will be installed in order to

serve different needs and leased cost routing

Customers expect easy upgrade and reuse of existing infrastructure

onboard as well as on shore


18/30

Global coverage

Internet access, high speed to broadband

Corporate network access

Attractive Solution for this market:

Combined F77 and DVB-RCS broadband

Super Yacht Market Segment

Paul Allens Octopus


19/30

Sound and vision is vital for remotediagnostic of humans

128kbps is a minimum bandwidth

requirement

Esperanza del Mar

Nera F77 Twin terminal as primary

solution today.

A combined F77 and DVD-RCS

broadband would be a good choice.

Telemedicine Market Segment

Nera started beta testing of Maritime DVB-RCS Q3 2004

Two beta test vessels: Yacht and commercial LNG carrier

Using Nera SatLink terminal and Seatel System 4003, 1 meter Ku Tx/Rx antenna

Launched commercially Q1/Q2 2005 to selected distributors

An enhanced 1910 terminal is integrated with the SeaTel 4003 platform

At present 25 systems are in operation primarily on yachts
