Craig McCaw Quote “Today, the cost to bring modern communications to poor and remote areas is so high that many of the world’s people cannot participate in our global community. Forcing people to migrate into increasingly congested urban areas in search of opportunity is economically and environmentally unsound. All of the world can benefit from efforts to expand access to information technologies.”

Bill Gates Quote
“The Internet is the most important single development in the world of computing since the IBM PC was introduced in 1981.”

Teledesic represents the combined vision of Craig McCaw and Bill Gates
Universal Broadband Access US FCC license and ITU Broadband Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) service designation in place Boeing selected as prime contractor for 288 LEO satellite constellation First revenue by 2002

Teledesic is a networking company, not a supplier of satellite hardware
Boeing selected as prime contractor The world’s largest provider of space, defense and aerospace equipment System cost not to exceed $9 billion Boeing invested $100 million in Teledesic

Lack of Infrastructure Half of the world’s population lives more than two hours from the
closest telephone Four billion people around the world are without a telephone 50 million people worldwide are on waiting lists for telephones,
the average wait is 1.5 years Tokyo has more telephones than all of sub-Saharan Africa China plans to add 80 million telephone lines over the next decade Even where it’s available, not all existing analog infrastructure can
be upgraded to support advanced digital services

Regulatory Summary WRC ‘95 identified 500 MHz Links within the Ka band for NGSO satellite systems
400 MHz available for immediate use 100 MHz frozen until WRC ‘97
US FCC designated same spectrum in its 28 GHz Band Plan
March 1997, FCC licensed Teledesic to build, launch, and operate Teledesic Network
WRC ‘97 made all 500 MHz available

Global Broadband Wireless
Why use satellites? Ability to provide service with cost independent of location.
Why LEO satellites? Seamless compatibility with terrestrial networks.
Why Ka-band? Lowest frequency with the spectrum to build global broadband network.

24T E L E D E S I C
Global Broadband Wireless (cont.)
Why high mask angle? Provides high link availability to enable high service quality.
Why 288 satellites? A high mask angle combined with low Earth orbit altitude requires a large number of satellites to provide continuous global coverage.
C O R P O R A T I O N
25T E L E D E S I C
Design Considerations High data rate (broadband) fixed and mobile service Continuous global coverage Fiber-like delay Bit error rates less than 10-10
Mitigate effects of rain attenuation and blockage Rapid network repair Geodesic (mesh) network interconnect
