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 Q1 2019 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
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

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
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
