Agenda
• Why the focus on Air, Sea, Surface & Rail?
• Segmenting the market
• Where do you need your network?
• With how much capacity?
• Design decisions
• Sharing the vision and teaming with the Eco-System

What is a High Throughput Satellite?
A high throughput satellite (HTS) is a satellite that has many times the throughput of a
traditional FSS satellite for the same amount of allocated frequency on orbit.
These satellites take advantage of frequency reuse and multiple spot beams to increase
throughput and reduce the cost per bit delivered, regardless of spectrum choice.

Components of HTS Design Decisions
All of these components impact the business model for satellite
design and are driven by go-to-market business criteria

Technical Element #1: Throughput
• Throughput is the speed of information delivery (bits/sec), driven by:
– Bandwidth (MHz) = The “size of the pipe”, increased by frequency reuse
– Efficiency (Bits/sec per MHz) = Amount of error-free content in the pipe
• Maximizing aggregate satellite bandwidth or maximizing individual user
throughput are often conflicting technical goals.
– There is a trade-off, and the right answer depends on the business applications
16
Technical Element #2: Efficiency
• Efficiency is the amount of error-free information to the user (bits/Hz)
• Spot beams drive efficiency up (more power), but close proximity of same frequency spot beams
increases interference and brings efficiency down.
• Greater distance between same frequency spot beams will increase efficiency but reduce
frequency reuse and total satellite throughput. So what is best?
• This is a trade-off: Serving more users with consumer-grade quality (lower efficiency) or fewer users
with carrier-grade quality (CIR, higher efficiency). This is a decision that will depend on the
operator’s business plan.

• The size of beams formed by a
standard satellite antenna size
depends on frequency
and
• The number of beams is
constrained by satellite
resources (power, mass, space)
• The size of the targeted
coverage is a major driver of
frequency selection

Technical Element #4: ArchitectureHTS designs may allow for closed or open network architectures.
Open architectures are compatible with many network topologies:

Technical Element #5: Spectrum
• HTS can be developed in any
frequency band
• The frequency selection is driven
by many considerations:
• Coverage and beam size
• Atmospheric conditions in the region that
is being served
• Availability of a robust ecosystem of
ground technologiesC
