3 THE EUTELSAT QUANTUM-CLASS SATELLITE Courtesy Airbus Defence & Space

4 EUTELSAT QUANTUM-CLASS: OVERVIEW The Eutelsat Quantum-Class satellite is a versatile, dynamic satellite providing flexibility in coverage, power and spectrum Eight independently configurable uplink and downlink beams generated and managed to respond to a variety of demands in size and time Antenna interference and geo-location capabilities Allows you to manage your resource on an ad hoc basis without prior knowledge of regional uncertainties Available Q

5 OVERVIEW OF THE EUTELSAT QUANTUM-CLASS SATELLITE Eutelsat Quantum-Class: Versatile and flexible satellite capacity management Independent Uplink Definition Variable frequency bandwidth Variable Power allocation Independent Downlink Definition 6

6 ANSWERING OIL & GAS NEEDS WITH EUTELSAT QUANTUM-CLASS Due to the varying nature of oil and gas requirements a premium is often paid for satellite resources and services Mix of demands covering operational missions: Coverage or operational requirements subject to change but remain fixed for period of time Also need for rapid response on an ad hoc basis Support terminals where-ever and whenever required Mix in throughput from low level to surge requirements Typically this results in paying a high price for resources from multiple satellites and operators The Eutelsat Quantum-Class satellite provides the ability to react in a more dynamic way - efficiently using resource through a more cost-effective solution 7

7 EUTELSAT QUANTUM-CLASS: COVERAGE FLEXIBILITY - UPLINK Flexibility from the same antenna Uplink Coverage flexibility in size, shape or a mix Serve historical footprints or high performance spot beams Theta*sin(phi) in Degrees dB/K Anywhere on the visible Earth Typical Widebeam coverage Design controls impact of scan loss and sidelobe levels Theta*cos(phi) in Degrees Peaks 9-10dB/K Beams can be split e.g. coverage of African country simultaneously serving a GW in U.S. Flexibility in time: 8.00 Electronic reconfiguration for rapid response to changing environment or requirements Better utilise resource for surge and down periods from the same beam Theta*sin(phi) in Degrees dB/K High G/T area Uplink independently re-configured to Downlink E.g. enables hot spots in uplink and broad patterns in downlink Theta*cos(phi) in Degrees Theta*sin(phi) in Degrees 3dB/K 3dB/K 2.00 Or two independent areas Theta*cos(phi) in Degrees 8

8 EUTELSAT QUANTUM-CLASS: COVERAGE FLEXIBILITY - DOWNLINK Maximise your coverage where and when you want it dBW dBW 49dBW In-orbit reconfiguration for change in orbital slot Theta*cos(phi) Degrees For evolution in inrequirements dBW Manage your resource as you prefer 2.00 Theta*sin(phi) in Degrees dBW Theta*sin(phi) in Degrees 52dBW Design provides 8 downlink beams that can serve a variety of applications 53dBW Theta*cos(phi) in Degrees Trade-off power and spectrum Theta*cos(phi) in Degrees dBW 1.00 Beams can be split for increased flexibility Theta*sin(phi) in Degrees Theta*sin(phi) in Degrees dBW 1.00 Higher EIRP T heta*cos(phi) in Degrees More channels Confidential Proprietary 2.00 Eutelsat T heta*cos(phi) in Degrees 9

9 EUTELSAT QUANTUM-CLASS: COVERAGE FLEXIBILITY From a single beam Reconfiguring for optimum coverage Hopping between time-coordinated beams making use of higher performing smaller beams 6 Quantum is applicable to a variety of coverage applications, for instance shipping lanes: dB/K & -2dB/K East Longitude (Degrees) 6 52dBW 53dBW 52dBW 3dB/K & 1dB/K 0dB/K & -1dB/K dBW -0.5dB/K & -1.5dB/K East Longitude (Degrees) 2 North Latitude (Degrees) North Latitude (Degrees) North Latitude (Degrees) East Longitude (Degrees)

10 EUTELSAT QUANTUM-CLASS: INTERFERENCE MITIGATION A dynamic approach can be applied to interference and jamming: The Eutelsat Quantum-class satellite has the capability to rapidly 6.00 reconfigure the satellite resources to eliminate or minimise the 5.00 interfering impact Theta*sin(phi) in Degrees 7.00 Potential Interferer Coverage can be reconfigured to isolate any regional impact Theta*cos(phi) in Degrees 7.00 Frequency agility can be used to map-out any interfered frequency or 6.00 channel Theta*sin(phi) in Degrees 5.00 Coverage reshaped Power management utilisation can compensate for any performance degradation Theta*cos(phi) in Degrees Fast reconfiguration of the satellite resources ensures that optimum capacity and availability levels are maintained Theta*sin(phi) in Degrees Isolate a small region but maintain high performance Theta*cos(phi) in Degrees 11

11 EUTELSAT QUANTUM-CLASS: CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS The system has the capacity to independently reconfigure uplink and downlink beams in orbit The conops will take into account the clients needs: Customers will have software tools to define their requirements Clients could have a number of pre-defined options on-board the satellite Clients can define and test new cases as requirements evolve When required, the SCC would activate the requested option 12

12 ANSWERING OIL & GAS NEEDS WITH EUTELSAT QUANTUM-CLASS By directing your coverage and power where and when you want it, you eliminate the need for multiple satellite resources Eight independent uplink and downlink beams shaped to suit customer needs Power can be traded for spectrum to optimise capacity Analysis of spot and shaped beams compared to classical Eutelsat Widebeams indicate a 30-60% improvement in the corresponding power required to serve a specific region Respond to changing market requirements over time Configure and re-configure a solution that best suits your operations, in-orbit 13
