Summary
Satellite connectivity: Cost is independent of distance
– Satellite is not the first or second option for backhaul
– Satellite, in some cases, is the ONLY option
Rural areas, disaster recovery, mobility platforms
Small Cell and HTS opens untapped possibilities
– Enables 3G and LTE service to areas served by satellite
– Improved end-user experience
– Overall lower Capex and Opex
Media Networks Latin America (MNLA)
– Among first small cell backhauled via HTS in Latin America
– Enables 3G and LTE service in rural and remote locations
– Excellent end-user experience
– Lowest cost per bit for sites backhauled via satellite
