1. NGSO opportunities NGSO opportunities and Challenges and Challenges ITU Regional Radiocommunication Seminar 2020 for Asia And the Pacific (RRS-20 Asia & Pacific) 19-30 October 2020 Dr. Tony Azzarelli FIET FRSA CEng MBA MSc CEO and Founder Azzurra-Telecom Ltd (UK) Director and Co-Founder of Access Space Alliance Ltd

2. Summary Current NGSO landscape NGSO Licensing Challenges by NGSO Operators Recommendation

3. Current NGSO Landscape (1) NGSO Systems System Major Shareholder Orbit Height (km) No. Sats Market Offers Kuiper Amazon (USA) LEO Inclined 33/42/53 degrees ~ 650 3236 2023 OneWeb Bharti (India), UK Gov t LEO Polar orbit 1200 ~ 600 2022/23 O3b / mPower SES (Lux) MEO - Equatorial - Inclined ~ 8,000 ~ 24 Already offering services Starlink SpaceX (USA) LEO Inclined 52 degrees ~ 650 4,400 2021/22 Telesat Telesat (Canada) LEO Polar/Inclined 1015/1325 ~ 300 2022/23 (1) Data in the chart above may not be accurate 3

4. Current NGSO Landscape NGSO Advantages Low latency 30-150 ms High elevation greater than 30 degrees elevation Smaller Terminals 40 to 100 cm diameter High Bandwidth 100 to 400 Mbps Affordable Services TBD 4

5. Current NGSO Landscape Markets will be covered from 2022/2023 Cellular Backhaul Enterprise Government Aviation Maritime Macro-cells, Integrated Small-cells Consumer, Financial Services, Energy and Industry, Agriculture Civil Commercial, Business Merchant, Offshore/Rigs, Super Yatchts, Passenger/Leisure, Fishing Government Non-Gov t Organizations 5

6. NGSO Licensing Several types of license and authorizations may be required Spectrum Licence o ITU satellite filings o Satellite equipment o Gateways e.g., Australia, China, India Exempted, Class license, Blanket Authorizations Type Approval Coordination and License Service Licence o We work with local service partners to acquire these authorizations o Licensing varies from country to country IP Network o Depend where the access points lie it may require a license/authorization Space Operations o launch and space operations licence 6

7. Global licensing challenges - fragmented and complex Satellite operators require regulations that benefit end-users everywhere o Regulations need to be clear, flexible and low cost The reality is very different and can hurt the countries themselves 7

8. Current NGSO Landscape Challenges at national level to NGSO systems There is inertia in adopting national regulations for NGSOs. National regulations should be the same as GSO s. The regulatory extension should be quick to adopt. NGSO treated differently than GSO s Some countries are protective of national systems. This hurts the provision of connectivity in a country. Competition drives connectivity and economic progress. Inexistent harmonized regulations. Adopt what other countries have done, eg: equipment standards, blanket licences, exemptions. High Fees for licences Long Time for obtaining licences Adopt cost recovery fees and immediate issuing of licences/or exempt altogether. 8

9. Policy making needs to foster connectivity that benefit users Are Win-Win-Win (win for operator, win for country, win for the citizens) Regulations that foster: Technology Neutrality and Competition Higher connectivity and sooner Light touch Licensing Access everywhere Free circulation of equipment Mass market deployment Self declaration of compliance to ETSI standards Affordable Equipment Cost recovery fee, or no fee approach Affordable Services High Quality of Services 9
