Connecting the Caribbean
 Connect the Caribbean Objective: “Connecting the Unconnected by
2015”
 Caribbean Geography Demands Satellite Connectivity
• Small Island States
• Subject to weather related disasters which stress terrestrial based
infrastructure
• Rural and remote areas with limited connectivity
• Low cost applications
Broadband Access




Large projects aimed at closing the “Digital Divide”
Internet cafés – Hot spots
Remote GSM and WiMax sites
Incomplete coverage of existing terrestrial fiber, copper or wireless
networks
 Rural networks
 Multi tenants – condominiums
 Add value to future DTH and IPTV systems
Examples of current networks
 GSM Backhaul Network in the South Pacific Islands
• Digital circuits connecting cell sites in Samoa, Papua New Guinea,
Vanuatu and Fiji
• 10 sites
• C-band
 Rural Telephony Network in the Dominican Republic
• Voice network for pay-phones
• 500 sites
• Ku-band
 Broadband Network for Remote Schools in Nicaragua
• IP connectivity and educational content
• 60 sites
• C-band
 Telemedicine in Haiti
• IP connectivity and videoconferencing
• 2 sites
• C-band

What’s Needed…





All satellite operators need spectrum to deliver their services
Our evolving technology uses it more efficiently and cost-effectively
Regulatory environment must be predictable
Regulators must safeguard the delivery mechanisms of satellites…
…as for other critical infrastructure

Can Satellites Share C-band With
Other Technologies?
Example: WiMax…
 …150km exclusion zone needed
 Exclusion zones are dependent on terrain type and may
need to be much bigger
 Many users are not listed so creating exclusion zones is
often impossible

SES New Skies: committed to increasing service over the Caribbean
Significant expansion of its fleet planned in the next 3 years
Caribbean customer growth foreseen for long term for…
…Broadband, government, and safety services
Satellite use of spectrum must be preserved to ensure continued
connectivity
 Satellite use of C band should be safeguarded in particular
 New technologies must be implemented in a way that preserves
existing services
