History and Background

Established in 1973 as RCA American Communications, SES AMERICOM is a leader in global
satellite communications services

Introduced first three-axis stabilized spacecraft and the concept of in-orbit spares

Established both a cable and radio programming neighborhood in the early 1980s

In 1985, instrumental in enabling NBC to become the world’s first broadcast television
network to use Ku-band satellites

In 1986 became part of the GE Capital family of businesses

Expanded into the enterprise networks and data communications industries in 1994 with the
acquisition of Spacenet

In 1996, co-developed the A2100 satellites – the industry’s most reliable communications
platform – and launched the first 36 MHz Ku-band service for the digital broadcast market

Acquired by SES GLOBAL in 2001

What qualifies as a Disaster?
“An occurrence causing widespread destruction and
distress, a catastrophe”
 Natural Disaster
- Hurricane, Flood, Tornado, Earthquake
“May 22, 2006: A press statement issued by NOAA today indicates that this season
will have 13 to 16 named storms, with 8 to 10 becoming hurricanes, of which 4 to 6
could be major hurricanes of Category 3 strength or higher.” By DDM, BVI

What are the effects of a Disaster?
In the Carrier world:
 Outages other than momentary or occasional
- Router resets, faulty wiring, client-side user errors
 Equipment failure
- Switch/router failure, “Bad” blades
 Line cut or cable failure
- Local construction accidents, submarine cable failures
 Sustained Power outage
- Local or regional outage in excess of on-site backup ability
[email protected]
Traditional Remedies
 Outages other than momentary or occasional
- Local troubleshooting by client; escalation to call center
(Time to resolution: 1-2 hours)
 Equipment failure
- Escalation to call center; site visit by carrier
(Time to resolution: 2-48 hours)
 Line cut or cable failure
- Physical construction by local carrier or cable repair boat
launch
(Time to resolution: 24-72 hours)
 Sustained power outage
- Continuous delivery of diesel fuel; wait for power company
action
(Time to resolution: 12-72 hours)
 Natural Disaster
- Site relocation or partial/total reconstruction
(Time to resolution: 24 hours - 5 days)

Why set up a backup system ?
“In 2005 the Atlantic Hurricane season contained a record 28 storms,
including 15 hurricanes”, By DDM, BVI, May 22, 2006.

Risk Summary for Caribbean Carriers
• Last Mile/Client Site is Weakest Link
• Disasters and Fiber cuts are greatest risks.
• Fiber diversity is useless if PoP suffers outage
• No current solutions for last mile backup
[email protected]
Are there any Solutions?
Double-build last mile fiber to each client
 High additional capital expense for Carriers
Overlay last mile with microwave or similar
 Moderate to high capital expense for Carriers
 Subject to wind damage
Install low cost fee-for-use satellite backup terminals
 Low capital cost for carriers
 Backs up last mile, PoP and submarine cable in a single
connection
[email protected]
How can we prepare?
• Satellite:
Evaluate various technologies (Eg: DVB, SCPC, TDM/TDMA) and
determine which solution that is best for your requirement and location.
• Supplier:
select a satellite communications provider that can provide a turn-
key solution.
• Installation: assure antenna system and service are operational


Antenna dish installation should allow for simple removal and re-attachment prior to
and after storm.
Emergency electrical supply
• Testing: Establish a testing schedule with provider and remote sites to assure
system is ready for use.
•
12-24 hours prior to storm arrival, re-test system and store the antenna’s dish.

IPConnect® Disaster Recovery
Submarine Cable Backup Keep serving customers in the event of a cable cut or
Headend outage. The IPConnect® backup terminal will automatically route
traffic over the satellite using another available WAN port on the client’s local
router.
Last Mile/PoP Backup A single client location can indefinitely operate its
IPConnect® service using a small portable generator.
Direct to USA/World IPConnect® offers a direct connection to the US backbone in
the event of a PoP or last mile failure.
Minimal-downtime clients IPConnect® is an ideal solution for retail corporate
clients such as Banks, Airlines, Hotels and Governments who require almost
constant connectivity for core data transactions.
