Supporting Africa growth with satellites Undersea cables only serve the coasts

 300 million people are over 50 km from fibre or cable broadband connection

The greater the distance the worse the connection quality.

 400 million people have no internet access at all

10% more broadband connectivity equals 1.38% increase in GDP for developing nations.

 Broadband cables are expensive to install

Fibre bridges the digital divide between the Western World and Africa, but does not bridge the digital divide within Africa between urban and non- urban areas.

 Satellite provides efficient way of connecting the majority of the 700 million unconnected people

Satellite also has the advantage of reach, providing an efficient way of connecting the majority of the poorly connected people. Snapshot of African undersea cables

What is SATMED

9

• Secure data storage and content

management capacities

• Satellite connectivity for areas in which mobile or

terrestrial internet is lacking

• E-Health tools (covers full spectrum of e-health

including e-learning, e-care and e-surveillance)

SATMED is a cloud-computing based e-health platform that operates on a global scale.

Connectivity Support for elections in Burkina Faso

10

 The project was about interconnecting the 368 election sites across Burkina Faso to support the presidential and legislative elections  Each site had to be equipped with a VSAT station to allow for a rapid transmission of the results from the local offices to the headquarters of the ‘Commission Electorale Nationale Indépendante’ (CENI), where the results were consolidated before they got published.  CENI had committed to a publication of the election results 24 hours after closure

• f the polling stations to demonstrate the commitment to a transparent and fair

election process.  Fast deployment : the implementation of a satellite communications system for electoral data transmission within eight weeks from contract signature

solution Issue / opportunity

~50% of total payload mass is traditionally propellant; of which ~⅔ burnt in a few days

Light in weight

1

Electric propulsion

Communication ecosystem is evolving with additional need for more efficient, affordable data connectivity solutions

Efficient in beams

2

HTS capacity Digital processing

Currently takes ~3 years to design, build and launch a GEO satellite

Fast to market
