Intelsat Epic NG : Global Broadband Infrastructure for Maritime Applications Enabling Customized Solutions with Ease and Efficiency • Maritime operators are implementing increasingly sophisticated fleet management applications. They need a highly reliable broadband network that supports their demanding environment. • To capture share in this fast-growing opportunity, maritime communications service providers can differentiate themselves by delivering broadband services that are customized to their customers’ requirements. • Intelsat, the world leader in maritime broadband, has integrated its Intelsat Epic NG high throughput satellite (HTS) platform with traditional wide beam capacity and the sectors’ most comprehensive terrestrial infrastructure. • Maritime operators, and their communications service providers, are now able to access Intelsat’s global maritime solution that is flexible and scalable, with consistently superior performance for the applications that matter most. Maritime Owners Demanding Efficient, Consistent, Always-On Broadband Today’s maritime fleets are no longer a simple delivery system that only occasionally checks in with headquarters. As a result, the broadband demands of ship operations are only increasing, having to take into account bandwidth-heavy applications such as performance monitoring, EDCIS, cargo management, weather routing and crew welfare. Today’s vessels are now an extension of an operator’s communications infrastructure and bandwidth demand is being driven to unprecedented levels. As Intelsat was the first satellite operator to design broadband connectivity for the maritime sector, we are well versed in the challenges that service providers have when designing a network solution. Service providers seek the flexibility to satisfy not only the end users current needs, but position to deliver the next generation’s requirements as well – without stranding valuable capital investments. Working closely with our customers, Intelsat designs solutions that are global, resilient and flexible, with a focus on maximizing service efficiency and return on investment for our customers. Intelsat Epic NG : Designed to Deliver a Superior User Experience With fleet management applications growing in sophistication, Intelsat designed Epic NG with spot beams and frequency reuse technologies, concentrating the power of the individual transponders over a smaller area. This will allow for higher modulation schemes that dramatically increase the number of bits delivered per MHz, resulting in lower cost per bit for the service provider. Intelsat Epic NG was also designed so that it is fully integrated with our existing fleet and IntelsatOne ® terrestrial network. Maritime fleets accessing Intelsat’s solutions can receive global broadband coverage at a level of service, reach and reliability unmatched by other HTS offerings without the need for high levels of capital expenditures on new equipment. The high throughput Intelsat Epic NG platform is designed to exceed the requirements of leading service providers, enabling throughput in the range of 25-60 Gbps per satellite, about 10 times that of traditional satellites and 3 times that of next-generation Ka-band maritime solutions. For the maritime sector, each Epic NG spot beam can deliver total throughput of 290 Mbps to vessels. For vessel operators, benefits include: • Maximum broadband performance on a global basis • IntelsatOne MPLS/IP managed backbone network linking all Intelsat teleports and providing vessels with a single IP address • Confidence that network availability will be superior and independent of weather • Ability to future-proof their investment decisions with a flexible, backwards compatible, open architecture system – they will not be tied to specific service providers • System designed with total cost of ownership as the primary objective For service providers, benefits include: • Choice – open architecture means ability to make hardware decisions based upon end-user applications and determine Quality of Service • Greater throughput, for global, consistent broadband access and the ability to provide higher levels of service where it is needed most • Reliability in all weather conditions, meaning customer network operation centers can focus on running applications rather than on service availability • Flexibility, with broad beams, spot beams and IntelsatOne terrestrial services, that provides an optimal combination of space and ground assets to capitalize on burgeoning demand for broadband services Intelsat is the Leading Provider of Broadband Maritime Solutions Intelsat provides a satellite-based platform and terrestrial infrastructure on which service providers can build their own offerings and add unique value for end users. Customers will be able to benefit from Intelsat’s global fleet of approximately 50 satellites as well as the Intelsat Epic NG platform. This combination provides the optimum solution for coverage, throughput, service delivery and economics. • Intelsat Epic NG provides game-changing capacity that is fully integrated with Intelsat’s existing fleet, maximizing service availability and reliability and reducing operational risk. • Combination of wide coverage beams and spot beams enable a total solution that provides consistent, high-quality connectivity where it is needed most. • IntelsatOne services for teleport uplinking, fiber and platform hosting. • Intelsat is the only operator that can offer an open architecture design that allows vessel operators to choose their hardware and service level alongside simple forward compatibility.
