Satellite Systems

u Wide variety of communication capabilities (fixed, broadcast, mobile) targeted formultitude of verticals

u Satellite is diverse & serves numerous verticals. Current capabilities vary from fewbps to 100+ Mbps per device

u Multiple verticals means multiple slices/solutionsu NTN is broad - GEO/LEO/MEO/HEO/HAPS

Relevance for 5G

Ubiquity Mobility BroadcastSimultaneity

Security Reliability

High-speed capacity worldwide with key enablers: capacity in-fill for geographic gaps, overspill to satellite when terrestrial links are over capacity, general global wide coverage, back-up/resilience for network fall-back, and communication during emergencies.

Satellite is the only readily available technology capable of providing connectivity anywhere on the ground, in sea, or air for moving platforms, such as airplanes, ships, and trains. When its up - its available

Satellite can efficiently deliver rich multimedia and other content across multiple sites simultaneously by using broadcast & multicast streams with information centric networking & content caching for local distribution

Satellite networks can provide efficient solutions for secure, highly reliable, rapid, & resilient deployment in challenging communication scenarios, such as emergency response

Highly reliable systems with connected availability at 99.9..%

To make it work for both sides

u Open up to wider ecosystem: not as easy as it soundsu Interoperability: is a key enabler for both satellite & terrestrialu Common 5G architecture: to the extent it is technically possible

v Satellite systems are not a single vertical: e.g. some technologies work for broadband whilst other are better suited for low data rate service

u Focus on verticals that add valuev Satellite industry is mostly interested in verticals which would benefit

from the added values of satellitesv Picking up the right use cases and technologies are key to accelerate

satellite/terrestrial integration

Technology view

u Satellite already involved in RAN/SA will enable opening up to wider ecosystemv NTN scoping for Release 17 to officially commence in Sept - clear engagement of

satellite industryu Standardisation would mean economies of scale, interoperability &

integrated servicesu Need to take small steps:

v Short/medium term strategy is key to de-risk and accelerate satellite/terrestrial 5G services
