1 Disaster Warning & Restoration Support by Satellite Communications Proposal -- The Great East Japan Earthquake -- March 1st, 2012 SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation ITOCHU Corporation Mitsubishi Electric Corporation NEC Corporation Toshiba Corporation Japan Radio Co., Ltd. 1

2 Summary of of the Great East Japan Earthquake Strictly Confidential 2

3 Summary of the Great East Japan Earthquake At 14:46 Friday, March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake stroked Japan, its hypocenter was approx. 130km east of Sendai, the capital of Miyagi prefecture. The tremor triggers a massive tsunami and seriously damages the Tohoku districts. It was the most powerful known earthquake to have hit Japan, and one of the five most powerful earthquakes in the world. As of May 1 st, 2011 Date :46 JST :46 UTC Duration 6 minutes Magnitude 9.0 M W Depth 32km Tsunami Maximum 38.9m flooded 807km 2 area Death 14,704 people Missing Destroyed Buildings 10,969 people 350,000+ Seismic intensity (Source: Japan Meteorological Agency) Strictly Confidential 3

6 Role of of Satellite Communications [Occurrence Phase] [Rescue and Life-Saving Phase] [Restoration Support Phase] Strictly Confidential 6

7 Summary of Telecommunications Earthquake Early Warning Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) data was successfully distributed and received via terrestrial line and satellite. However, after the most destructive quake occurred, the terrestrial line was destroyed. The EEW data of afterquake was distributed only by the satellite. Evacuation Centers & Temporally Houses In the Tohoku region, afflicted people were only able to utilize temporary phones set up at the evacuation centers. In order to gather the information of rescue, food aid, etc., the Internet was imperative. SKY Perfect JSAT has provided the satellite broadband systems to the evacuation centers and also planning to provide the systems to temporally houses (Approx. 160 systems). Fixed-Line and Mobile Communications After the Great East Japan Earthquake, fixedline and mobile communications services were unavailable, particularly in the Tohoku region, impacting more than 2 million fixed lines and approx. 29,000 mobile base stations and others. For the restoration purpose, Fixed VSATs and vehicle-mounted satellite systems (approx. 40 vehicles) were deployed immediately and most of the mobile communications services were restored within a month. Government Most of rescues teams from Military, Police, Coastguard etc. carried Flyaway type of VSATs for voice and video transmissions at the stricken areas. Additional 500MHz of satellite bandwidth were utilized for the restoration and broadcasting purposes. Strictly Confidential 7
