High-Capacity, High-Throughput: New Satellite Systems Meet Big Oil s Big Data Paul Berlinsky Director, Sales, Brazil O3b Networks O3bEnergy Presentation
Company overview What we do 2 Building a next-generation satellite constellation: capable of offering our customers connectivity which is better, faster and more affordable Initial constellation of eight MEO satellites: providing fiber-like latency Continuous coverage: when one satellite leaves, another satellite takes over without transmission interruption 70+ Ka-band beams of 700km diameter: steerable around the globe, each delivering 1.2 Gbps/Beam Each beam is connected to a high throughput teleport providing reliable, highspeed internet at a competitive price O3b is 100% funded and on schedule for service launch
Company overview Value proposition High Bandwidth Scalable options from 20 Mbps to 1 Gbps High Speed 432 MHz steerable beams Low Latency Low Cost Roundtrip latency of 120ms enabling: Faster Interactivity Superior voice quality Significantly lower cost than Geostationary Flexibility Steerable beams can be placed anywhere 45 degrees North/South of the Equator 3

What is Big Data? Big Data is any type of databases, photos, audio, web, mobile, and video Typically a challenge when you think of using Big Data on satellite communications Big Data is a large collection of expanding data sets that s difficult to manipulate and manage using a single tool Big Data access has to be fast as is time-sensitive when streaming records and in some cases has to be in real-time Big Data is also continuously expanding in size
New Way of Thinking of Big Data If I had access to a large amount of affordable, low latency bandwidth, how would this change the way I access Big Data using satellite? O3b Corporate Presentation 7
O3b and Big Data Big Data will benefit from O3b s low latency high capacity satellites Larger amounts of data can be accessed and streamed Optimize real-time features Allow for newer applications tools Speed up seismic and exploration of new opportunities
Drivers for IT Enabled Productivity Big Data coming from diversified up-stream demand Real-time data collection Drive toward centralized IT infrastructure Focus on down-time reduction and process efficiency improvements Voice and video for improved management Increase Quality of Life (Crew Morale Services) Transport Layer must enable latest IT services 9

Seismic Survey Enabling Real-Time Seismic Data Transfer 13
Current Problems in Seismic Survey Activity Data tapes flown to shore by helicopter Very High Day Rate Need for real-time information to make quick decisions Expensive Scientific staff onboard Processing equipment and data servers onboard 500 Gbytes 3 Tbytes produced per day 14
The RIGHT solution for Seismic data transfer elegant and cost-effective Very high bandwidth link to transmit real-time 3D/4D imaging data Scientific staff, storage & processing equipment remain onshore Store and Forward transfer of big data Data Packages of 5 GB to 1TB per Day Onshore Corporate office, Staff and Data Center Servers O3bEnergy Presentation 15
Strategic Advantages to Receiving Real-time Seismic Imaging Data First ever global transmission solution capable of transferring 1TB of data per day Reduce survey time of approximately 1/3 rd @ $60K per day saved. Able to monitor survey data in real-time and keep survey ship over most likely area Able to re-image an area quickly if something interesting shows up Speed time to first oil Speed data into shore data center processing cycle Overlap data collection and processing while ship is still in survey area Speed up time to market for new oil & gas field by 3-6 months.
Summary
Summary O3bEnergy delivers higher data rates to remote facilities at an affordable price for real-time monitoring O3bEnergy s low latency enables enterprise IT systems and databases to operate more efficiently at lower costs. O3bEnergy enables natural real-time interactive voice and video communications to identify and solve problems more quickly 18
