BE READY FOR MORE DATA Satellite communications are used for multiple applications within the government and defense market: Operations are either located in disaster areas, remote locations or hotspots around the globe. Information too sensitive to be sent over the terrestrial communications infrastructure. If there is a statement that applies to the government and defense market nowadays it is indeed the need to anticipate the growth in rates over satellite for data, video and voice communication. As satellite bandwidth is not always available over regions of operation and government budgets need to be kept under control, the search for satellite efficient technology is an important exercise.won t be either/or but rather the bestof-breed. It s liable to be a bumpy ride at times but I m looking forward to the journey, it s going to be an adventure! Values and Benefits Best-of-Trade COTS Equipment Based on industry standards (DVB-S2, S2 Extensions) to allow interoperability Efficiency technology to double data rates within the same bandwidth Optimal service availability in adaptive satellite networks Satcom products and technology independent of satellite frequency (C-, Ku-, Ka-, X-band) 3

A perquisite to make every project a success and assure mission critical communications over satellite at all times. Intelligence Eye-in-the-sky Includes best-of-trade DVB receivers to capture information within a satellite footprint. Morale, Welfare & Recreation (MWR) Applies the best efficiency technologies to counter increasing voice, data and video demands from leisure and training services for remotely deployed personnel. Includes broadcasting facilities. Manned ISR/ Border Patrol Aircrafts & UAS Transmits high volume of surveillance data from an airborne platform to the command and control in an adaptive environment at optimal service availability Multi-Service Government Networks By combining different services in a single hub government and defense organisations can make full use of efficiency and network optimization technologies. Disaster Recovery From first aid to restoration services, critical information needs to be sent towards the outside world in order to support quick emergency response. ISR Data Backhaul and Exchange The success of operations depends on having the latest up-to-date information. satcom solutions allow to collect ISR data in the theatre to process and spread amongst operational users. Mission Support Networks Missions in remote areas rely on satellite communications to exchange logistic, administrative and operational support information. National Election Networks Reliable VSAT network linking polling stations with the central coordination centre to exchange election results and transmit video surveillance feeds. Education & Distant Learning Networks Satellite based network to provide internet access, distance learning and video conferencing to schools, universities and remotely located students. Humanitarian Networks & NGO Connects humanitarian organisations and NGO headquarters to their missions in the field for emergency communications and daily operations. Embassy Networks Provides MoFa headquarters with a reliable and secure interface with embassies and consulates worldwide for information exchange over a private satellite network. Border Security CCTV feeds along the border are transmitted towards the central control centre. Gives remote border control gates instant access to internet and recognition services. Scientific Networks Links Antartic missions, climate and nature monitoring services to the internet to support multiple video/voice/ data and SCADA feeds 4

COTS SATCOM PRODUCTS has a rich portfolio of state-of-the-art COTS products and solutions fit for government and defense applications. These products serve as building blocks or turnkey systems for satellite networks. has its production center in Belgium and is in full control of the production and design process which translates in the outstanding reputation for its quality and reliability in the satellite market. satcom equipment (modems, modulators, receivers and hubs) are based on DVB common building blocks, the adopted standard for communication over satellite for data, video and voice allowing full interoperability. supports DVB-S, DVB-S2 and the upcoming new standard S2 Extensions. technology is designed around the concepts of efficiency, service availability and ease of use. From professional satellite equipment to hubs and systems, the same building blocks are used in order to maintain consistency and interoperability between the different components. In order to allow for full satellite link efficiency the different network optimizing technologies are purposely built for the adaptive nature of satellite communication. The technologies interact and share link condition information in order to avoid link and data losses while maintaining the highest throughput possible.

TECHNOLOGIES FlexACM FlexACM is the innovative and award-winning solution by for efficient satellite communication. The FlexACM Zero Margin Bandwidth Link margin required with CCM Noise & Distortion (NoDE) Variation (ThiMM) Adaptive Coding & Modulation (ACM) Up to 60% gain implementation doubles the throughput of data, video and voice in government and defense IP networks over satellite. At the same time optimal availability can be achieved in any fading condition (inclined orbit, weather, dust, interference) to keep mission critical communications running at all times. Time Cross-Layer-Optimization Optimizing the data, voice and video link between the remote (ground fixed, aircraft, etc.) and the ground station is a continuous process that needs to take changing conditions into Ku-band, X-band, Ka-band, HTS, WGS consideration at all time.

As soon as a satellite link condition changes the link will be auto-optimized following Quality-of-Service and Priority Feedback Feedback Feedback Settings without the loss of data or link. Increased Granularity 64APSK DVB-S2 and S2 Extensions products and technology are based on DVB common building blocks allowing full interoperability. (DVB-S, DVB-S2 and upcoming new DVB standard S2 Extensions) Shannon Limit has taken the lead and teamed up with other DVB- Spectral Efficiency (bps/hz) +27% +37% S2 Extensions members in order to define and develop the new standard. The S2 Extensions promise an efficiency increase of 15 to 37% on DVB-S2 top of DVB-S2. The involved technologies are: smaller roll-offs, advanced C/N DVB-S filter technologies, increased granularity in MODCODs, better MODCOD implementation, higher modulation (64APSK) and Wideband (e.g. 72 Mbaud). 7
