Services architectures. Satellite main aspects Advantages: Quick deployment. Wide coverage in the geographical area. Cost does not depend on the distance. Suitable for pòint to multipoint conections. Drawbacks: Expensive for point to point links. Fiber bandwith is much greater than satellite bandwith. Transmission delay shall be considered in the protocols design. (aprox. 250 mseg per hop). Higher than radionlinks and fiber. 18

Services architectures. Multisatellite service 1. Professional data services (IP). 2. Global coverage needs several satellites to provide the service. 3. Typical application for a company having offices in 40 countries of 4 continents. 4. Network solution is shared with fiber circuits where available. 24
Services architectures. Portable terminal INMARSAT 1. Service is built as global with repeater Hub earth stations 2. Low speed voice and data applications. 3. Portable terminal. 4. Building applications over the transmission layer. HUB TERM INAL Video file server Video Camera 25
Satellite Services. Other infrastructures. Other type of satellite infrastructures are consolidating in the satellite market: Satellite constellations. Satellites multispot: Coverage concentrated in small spots in Ka band. Big increase in capacity due to the number of spots and frequency reuse in the Ka-band spectrum allocated. Big potential for deployment of for broadband services (specially internet access). 26

Final Remarks To provide a service to a customer a combination of satellite with fiber and radiolinks is needed. Satellite provides quick deployment in all coverage area. This may be a key aspect for mobile operators where terrestrial network is not deployed. Ka-band technology will allow start big deployment of broadband services with higher capacity services. 28
