Current Technologies Unfit

X Fiber or Microwave backhaul

uneconomical for low traffic from

remote areas

X Traditional satellites offer limited

bandwidth and have high latency so

cannot deliver fiber quality

Optimal solution should have the

best of both worlds – terrestrial

fiber quality with global satellite

• No economical backhaul for 4G/5G expansion or to deliver high-

speed broadband to remote communities

• No quality access in remote areas for enterprise cloud

applications

• No effective gate-to-gate solutions

• Limited quality of satellite access

• No global network

• No solution today for “home like” connectivity on waters

• High GEO latency prevents effective remote ops

• No global network

• Poor morale, welfare and recreation (MWR) experience due to

throughput, quality gaps

• Limited resilience of GEO architecture

• Proprietary systems are expensive and take too long

Pain points

• Low latency for end-to-end encryption and cloud

applications

• Plug-n-Play like terrestrial transport

• One global network for multi-national companies

• High focused capacity around airports

• Global coverage incl. polar routes

• Low latency for ‘office/home in the sky’

• High focused capacity in cruise hotspots

• Low latency for seamless ‘remote-to-shore’

• Reliable multi-satellite constellation

• Low latency for unmanned aero, advanced digitalization

Under WRC-19 Agenda Item (AI) 10, WRC-19 will consider items for WRC-23

Regulatory decisions need to foster competition, innovation

and certainty

The CITEL Inter-American Proposal relating to the regulation of

NGSO ESIM in Ka band calls for a replication of the existing and

successful GSO regulations which support better service

And we ask that you support it at WRC-19

Future Agenda Items for WRC-23

- Under WRC-19 Agenda Item (AI) 10, WRC-19 will consider items for WRC-23

- Telesat supports a new WRC-23 Agenda Item to study the operation of non-GSO

Earth Stations in Motion (ESIM) in portions of the Ka-band

- WRC-15 already approved regulations that allow GSO ESIM (aeronautical, land and

maritime terminals) to operate in the 19.7-20.2 GHz and 29.5-30.0 GHz bands

- WRC-19 will address access to other portions of the Ka-band for GSO ESIM (WRC-

19 AI 1.5)

- Telesat and other satellite operators envisage to enable similar terminals in their

respective non-GSO constellations

- Telesat believes that it is in the interest of consumers and the overall ecosystem if

non-GSO ESIM in the Ka-band could benefit from a harmonized international

regulatory framework
