 TDMA or SCPC (general aspects)?

TDMA (Burst) advantages over SCPC:

Better BW efficiency in dynamic environments

Better management of remote sites

Adaptive outbound and inbound

SCPC advantages over bursts:

Continuous or high activity ratio no DAMA benefits

SCPC Applications: Backup for terrestrial, Video or file upload, PoP

(ISP/cyber caf), High capacity cellular backhaul, On-the-Move or On-the-
Pause antennas

 Best of Both Worlds
Unified System SCPC and TDMA
Accent unified MODEM for both SCPC Mode and Burst Mode
Unified System
Unified DVB-S2 Outbound for TDMA and SCPC VSATs
DVB-RCS or DVB-S2 IB
Same Hub; Same NMS; Same VSATs
All remote VSATs are managed (SCPC or TDMA)
Adaptive high speed DVB-S2 ACM inbound 0.3-10Msps; 24Mbps
24Mbps Inbound or 24Mbps Outbound, total of above 35Mbps

On Demand TDMA-SCPC
Change from Burst to SCPC (Continuous Carrier) and back to Burst on the fly

 SkyEdge II Accent Additional Highlights
L3 support routing, spoofing, QoS, encryption, compression;
CacheMode! Features are not commonly available in SCPC modems

19, 1U box
Connections in the front, 48VDC
Connections in the back, AC Power

Software switchable between modes: SCPC/TDMA

Automatic Scheduler for SCPC channels set-up and tear-down

PDMA Bandwidth /Power saving technology for SCPC link - Changing

IB modulation to robust MODCOD based on traffic throughput

Reduces power usage in the satellite

MCD as part of the hub a new 4-channel demodulator / receiver

 Lets Look at a Few Applications
Cellular Backhaul (e.g. GSM Abis; UMTS)

ISP Point of Presence (PoP)

Business Continuity

Satellite On The Move(SOTM) Video Contribution & DSNG

Networks with eventual or periodic demand for high throughput

Confidential and proprietary information 5

 Cellular Backhaul
Benefit to the Service Provider:
Better usage of space segment
High throughput BTS sites
The right access scheme in every site
enjoy the SCPC Mode (for
example 4:4:4 BTS sites)
Low throughput BTS sites
enjoy the bursty Mode (for
example 1:1:1 BTS sites)

 Point of Presence Integrate New SCPC Sites
Traffic through the VSAT tends to be
relatively stable daily during the busy hour
SCPC Inbound is recommended
Better usage of space segment

 Business Continuity

Service Provider offers to various Enterprises and Governmental

organizations a service of Business Continuity
Once your main terrestrial connection fails, I will provide you with a high
speed satellite alternative until recovery from the terrestrial problem

Example: Service Provider sells

the protection service to 20
different customers in different SkyEdge II
geographical locations Accent
SkyEdge II Hub
The offered backup service 2Mbps
Terrestrial failure traffic routed to
the on-site VSAT Main Backup
VSAT automatically switches to IP
SCPC (VRRP protocol)
Once terrestrial traffic is restored Branch
VSAT switches back to Burst INTERNET

 Eventual or Periodic High Throughput
Regular traffic (dynamic) runs over TDMA
carrier.
In special events (e.g. drilling), a high
throughput shall run in SCPC, getting a better
performance
