- 2. 3 Ecosystems are Converging Today
- 3. Probably the largest transformation in satellite history • From GEO to VHTS GEO/MEO/LEO/HEO • From 20 GBPS capacity to terabit level constellations • From static beams to dynamic beams • From bespoke payloads to standardized/programmable payloads?
- 4. Major transformation in telco history • To a master 5G platform • Convergence of all access technologies • Automation, virtualization, orchestration • Scale, capacity and performance
- 5. Ground infrastructure must play a unifying role • From software-defined satellites to software-defined networks • From stand-alone networks to integrated ecosystems • From appliances to virtual infrastructure • From configuration to orchestrated service delivery
- 8. GEO – 36,000km MEO ~ 8,000km LEO ~ 1,000km High latency (< 700 msec) Low latency (< 150 msec) Very low latency (< 50 msec) Very large Earth view Large Earth view Small Earth view Continental gateways (HTS for data) Regional gateways (high throughput) Many local gateways (low throughput) Stationary antennas (3 satellites for global coverage) 1-hour tracking (6 satellites for coverage) 10-minute tracking (100’s-1,000’s needed for coverage) 10 Comparing satellite constellations: altitude – coverage - latency
