High-Capacity, High-Throughput: New Satellite Systems Meet Big Oil’s Big Data

Paul Berlinsky Director, Sales, Brazil O3b Networks

O3bEnergy Presentation

Company overview What we do

2

Building a next-generation satellite constellation: capable of offering our customers connectivity which is better, faster and more affordable

Each beam is connected to a high throughput teleport providing reliable, high-speed internet at a competitive price

Ka-band beams of 700km diameter: steerable around the globe, each delivering ≥1.2 Gbps/Beam

Continuous coverage: when one satellite leaves, another satellite takes over without transmission interruption

Initial constellation of eight MEO satellites: providing fiber-like latency

O3b is 100% funded and on schedule for service launch 70+

Company overview Value proposition

High Bandwidth Scalable options from 20 Mbps to 1 Gbps

High Speed 432 MHz steerable beams

Low Latency Roundtrip latency of 120ms enabling:

• Faster Interactivity

• Superior voice quality

Low Cost Significantly lower cost than Geostationary

Flexibility

Steerable beams can be placed anywhere 45 degrees North/South of the Equator

What is Big Data?

• Big Data is any type of databases, photos, audio, web, mobile, and video

• Typically a challenge when you think of using Big Data on satellite communications

• Big Data is a large collection of expanding data sets that’s difficult to manipulate and manage using a single tool

• Big Data access has to be fast as is time-sensitive when streaming records and in some cases has to be in real-time

• Big Data is also continuously expanding in size

New Way of Thinking of Big Data

If I had access to a large amount of affordable, low latency bandwidth, how would this change the way I access Big Data using satellite?

O3b and Big Data

• Big Data will benefit from O3b’s low latency high capacity satellites

• Larger amounts of data can be accessed and streamed • Optimize real-time features • Allow for newer applications tools • Speed up seismic and exploration of new opportunities

Drivers for IT Enabled Productivity

• ‘Big Data’ coming from diversified up-stream demand

• Real-time data collection

• Drive toward centralized IT infrastructure

• Focus on down-time reduction and process efficiency improvements

• Voice and video for improved management

• Increase Quality of Life (Crew Morale Services)

• Transport Layer must enable latest IT services

Store and Forward transfer of “big data”

Strategic Advantages to Receiving Real-time Seismic Imaging Data

• First ever global transmission solution capable of transferring 1TB of data per day

• Reduce survey time of approximately 1/3rd @ $60K per day saved.

Able to monitor survey data in real-time and keep survey ship over most likely area

Able to re-image an area quickly if something interesting shows up

• Speed time to “first oil” Speed data into shore data center processing cycle Overlap data collection and processing while ship is still in survey area

• Speed up time to market for new oil & gas field by 3-6 months.
