About O3b Networks• HQ in Jersey, Channel Islands• U.S. offices in Denver, Colorado• Spectrum managed through U.K. Ofcom• Serving Other 3 Billions People in emerging and less developed

economies• Technical

– 4.3 GHz spectrum per satellite (20 x 216 MHz per beam)– Up to 12 Gbps per satellite (20 x 600 Mb/s)– Over 1920 transponder equivalents (36 MHz) of capacity available

to lesser developed economies

O3b Network Proprietary4

• Manufactured byThales Alenia Space

• Partly based on Globalstar 2 heritage

• 12 steerable antennas: Each antenna can be individually controlled to point and track a ground terminal location (steerable +/- 26°)

• Bent-pipe• No on-board processing

or crosslinks

The Pacific Island NationsSituation:

22 Island Nations, each made up of many individual islands Cable is too expensive (estimated $250m to reach 17 of the capitals) Cable only reaches capital, but cannot reach outlying islands Islands are often too far for Microwave, and thus rely on GEO

satellite for inter-island communications Nations should spend their funds on internal development

Solution: Fibre Quality Connections to all islands Package 2: QuickVar for main island:

• 20Mb or more for each outlying island• 122ms latency• 99.3% SLA (CIR)• $1000/mb • Service activation fee: USD 20,000 (For ground

equipment) + Shipping + Installation

O3b Networks Pacific Island Proposal

Plan:• Funding Partners (e.g. World Bank, ADB, IMF) would sponsor service

activation fee to main island while regional organisations and development agencies e.g. ITU, SPC, PITA, etc facilitate the negotiation and agreements as well as implementation

• Government would guarantee payment of our service• Government would cover cost of service activation fee to any outlying

island• O3b will provide connection equipment at our teleport location• O3b will provide $600/MB pricing and SLA on QuickStart Service• O3b will provide $1000/MB pricing and SLA on QuickVar Service

O3b Teleport (Hawaii)

• Create a Public-Private partnership to foster the access to a high speed, low latency IP backbone to the global Internet

• Road mapping toward achievable programs to deliver broadband services• Determine bandwidth requirements to each location• Link Budget for each main island

• Contract

– Single Master Service Agreement– Service Order for each beam

• Add outlying islands, direct to tower capacity at a later date
