1 Optimising a Unified Space and Ground Segment GVF Connectivity 2018: Evolving the "New" New Verticals Mark Lambert Mark.lambert@kratoscomms.com VP Business Development Kratos 1

2 Dramatic growth in satellites and throughputs Bringing problems as well as opportunities Of new satellites 100s Predicted number of HTS launches in next 8 years Gateways Planned in new constellations Changes to system design and management needed 2

3 HTS System Challenge Me too driven Satellite and System procurements Shorter time to obsolescence Rendering non-hts capacity uncompetitive More HTS Satellites Lower Bandwidth prices More bandwidth available More interference likely! Cost of Gateway Infrastructure WHAT CAN Price of A Bandwidth SYSTEM OPERATOR DO? Satellite Profit Margins 3

4 Keys to a Modern Gateway Architecture RFoIP Automation Defence Deployment 4

5 Modernizing The Gateway Cluster More RF antenna sites and beams requires lower cost and remote signal monitoring More sites means need for an enterprise view across RF signals and IP networks More services increases need for automation and for seamless integration with terrestrial networks More VSAT terminals means hundreds of thousands of new sources of interference 5

6 Satellite Hub Modernizing Your Gateway Architectural Flexibility Virtualization of Ground Segment signal processing Reduce ground station equipment duplication Reach new customers cost effectively Seamless switching between antennas Antennas Antennas 6

7 RF Signal Monitoring Modern Gateway Solution Architecture Network Management and Monitoring & Control Antenna Hub RF over IP Infrastructure 7

8 High Quality, Fast Delivery, Profitable Antenna Solutions Short delivery schedule accelerates time-to-revenue Antenna size to amplifier size optimized - reduces CAPEX and OPEX Kratos 30 year track record of top notch performance 8

10 SpectralNet: Enabling Modern RF over IP Gateway Infrastructure RFoIP Eliminates Distance Constraints, Enables Location Flexibility Private or Public IP Network FULL DUPLEX STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 Back to old RF infrastructure New Generation of Digital Signal Processing Captures, Digitizes and Packetizes RF Signals Reliably Transports the Packetized Signals Over Any Distance Recreates Original RF Signal for Legacy Processing Gear 10

11 RF Signal Monitoring Modern Gateway Solution Architecture Network Management and Monitoring & Control Antenna Hub RF over IP Infrastructure 11

12 Maximizing Profitability via Gateway Automation Managing increasing infrastructure requirements Consolidating processing equipment into fewer, yet higher density computer platforms Consolidating triggers leading to automated switchovers Fast creation and provisioning of services to meet customer demand Automating escalations with emergency reports 12

13 Dynamically Provision New Services on Demand Integrated and scalable Offers single-pane of glass visibility Provides notifications of and escalation of service impairments 13

14 Gateway Automation reduces OPEX and Drives Profitability Kratos Compass performs automated actions in response to important triggers, user commands and external scheduling and planning systems. Respond to alarms and events Initiate operations such as switchover between sites for disaster recovery purposes Receive instruction for planning and scheduling systems to reconfigure gateway systems 14

15 RF Signal Monitoring HTS Gateway Solution Architecture Network Management and Monitoring & Control Antenna Hub RF over IP Infrastructure 15

16 Protecting your HTS Investment Monics Family of Products Flexible carrier management solutions for satellite communications Troubleshooting tool for sources of interference Enabler to optimize utilization of satellite spectrum Additional RF Management Solutions: SatGuard VSAT Monitoring Automatically and quickly determine the VSAT terminals causing interference SatID RF Interference Identification An accurate, fast, all-in-one solution for geolocating and identifying sources of RF interference SigX RF Interference Cancellation Mitigates and cancels RF interference in real-time 16

17 Kratos: Your Modern Gateway Expert 30 year track record of delivering highly integrated, on-time solutions Optimizes the location, management and profitability of your gateway IP Enabled Infrastructure provides site diversity and minimizes ground station equipment duplication Shortens time-to-market which results in faster time-to-revenue and improved profitability Accelerated order to build deployment schedule is among the fastest order typically within 6 months. Optimal antenna sizing and placement reduces CAPEX and minimizes operational expense RF over IP provides a clear path to a virtual/cloud infrastructure Automation and integration with 3rd party applications reduces OPEX and enables dynamic new service provisioning 17
