Oil & Gas Service Revenues by Band

• C band and Ku band

dictates the market and

will continue to do so in

future because of

availability and reliability

of services.

• HTS also increasing and

plays a major role in

future for high capacity

requirements.

• Intelsat EpicNG is

absolute fit to cater for

High Throughput needs

with C/Ku Band high

performance satellites.

Enabling… Oil & Gas

• Network outages result in rig downtime and loss of millions

• Video required to increase drilling quality and decision making

• Crew welfare is key to minimize churn and onboarding costs

• Remote monitoring allows expensive expertise to remain at HQ

6

Enabling… Oil & Gas

• Ubiquitous, secure, robust service desired to provide equal access

to all

• Increased use of cloud computing requires reliable connections to

get to information

• Videoconferencing enables collaboration and information sharing

• Distance learning maximizes productivity

Intelsat EpicNG Value Proposition

Open Architecture

Open Architecture

• Backwards compatible with existing terminal infrastructure

• No need to re-invest in terminal infrastructure

• Freedom of equipment & manufacturer choice

• Lower total cost of ownership

• Customer equipment and control

Intelsat Proprietary & Confidential

10

Existing

• Current FSS design can

continue to be

leveraged by the large

existing installed base

and provide primary

solutions

• Utilize wide beams for

multicast, TV, training

videos, safety

information

The Right Physics and Right

Economics for the Right Solution

11

Existing EpicNG

Intelsat EpicNG:

• Can be leveraged for

increased throughput for

video conferencing, video

for remote sites and

overlay for high traffic

regions

• Bring up new connectivity

as rigs are deployed

• Provides the bandwidth

needed to backup high-

speed core/backbone

links.

Intelsat Brings Principles of “Frequency Reuse”

& “Spot Beams” in a New Configuration

Frequency reuse (Any frequency band: C, Ku, Ka)

+ Spot Beams & Wide Beams

= Intelsat EpicNG
