Space Segment If capacity offered is within our present holdings, all

we need to do is an internal assignment & notification to operator.

If we need to purchase new capacity we contact Panamsat or Satmex, and sometimes Intelsat

If we need to contract teleport services, we place order with vendor


Space Segment Issues System Engineering to define, if not already done at

time of quote: modulation scheme (QPSK vs 8PSK) FEC rate (1/2, 3/4, 2/3, R/S) Choice done based on space segment resource

optimization : bandwidth & power Convenient to have a flexible modem for future

upgrades & possible changes


Space Segment Issues #2 Make sure NOC is involved with circuit start up

process. Need to notify satellite operator of new circuit May need to run antenna patterns (which may take

hours or days!) Coordinate power & frequency use with Operator


Space Segment Questions: If in doubt, please check with NOC first They will usually get assistance from Operator

(satellite signatures, beacon frequencies, “center of the box” times etc

Problems? Please report to Sytems Eng; we will escalate to Operator’s bosses


Regulatory Aspects Except for Mexico (and Venezuela in the future), all we

are doing is ASSISTING customer obtaining its private station license.

Be aware that the process typically takes 3months or so; thus it needs to be triggered at day 0. And followed up by PMs.


Regulatory Comparison Mexico, private station: 30 days Ecuador, private station: 90-120days: process goes

through Two regulatory agencies plus the Armed Forces!

Paraguay: approx 30 days from first submission To submit application….. Stay tuned


To Submit the application The customer needs to provide name of company,

address, point of contact etc. The customer needs to provide documents of

incorporation the enterprise (ie proof of legal existence)

Various administrative and techincal forms need to be filled out.

Provide link budgets, description of the system, equipment specs etc.
