5. Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) of 8,062
km offers considerable performance
improvement in roundtrip latency
compared to 36,000 km GEO orbit.
•120 ms O3b vs. 500 ms GEO
The O3b Advantage:
•Low latency
•High capacity of 1.2 Gbps
•Flexible global reach
•Competitive pricing
•Easily – and quickly – deployable

• Initial constellation of 8 middle-earth orbit (MEO) satellites
• Complete constellation will be at least 20 satellites
• Spacecraft provided by Thales Alenia Space
• Orbital height = 8,062 km; Equatorial Inclination: 0 degree
• Ground Period = 360 min / Number of Contacts = 4 per day
• 45 Degree spacing with 8 satellites
• Seven teleports to be ready in 2011 (including TT&C)
Initial Ka-band Frequencies (TT&C and Data Gateways)
• Downlink: 17.8 GHz – 18.6 GHz and 18.8 GHz – 19.3 GHz

Key features for operators and providers :
• Capacity for VSAT networks, IP trunking with direct
access to core Internet exchange points worldwide
• Capacity for 3G direct to towers
• Flexibility to dynamically assign bandwidth
• Up to 800 Mb/s forward and 650 Mb/s return
• Ultra-low latency
Benefits:
• Fiber performance without the need for a fiber
infrastructure
• Instantly upgradable 3G network backhaul capacity
• Reduced planning costs
• Supports newer Internet and 3G protocols
• Significantly lower cost than GEO bandwidth
O3b’s space capacity will enable O3b customers such as telecom operators
and Internet Service Providers to deploy networks and allocate bandwidth as
well as provide security when terrestrial connectivity fails.

9. Ground equipment information
12
• All O3b gateways will be 7.3 meter diameter antennas. Expected
gains for these antennas are 65 for Tx and 61 dBi for Rx.
•Representative trunking terminal antenna sizes will be 4.5 meters with
the possibility of using 7.3 meter antennas as well though other sizes will
not be excluded
• Support bit rates between 90 and 780 Mbps
• Typical terminal EIRP from 70 to 80 dBW (antenna gain of 59 dBi)
• Typical terminal G/T = 32 dB/K (antenna gain of 55 dBi)
• Nominally 4.5 meter aperture antenna, 200 to 500 Watt transmitters
• Planned to be TDM Forward and SCPC Return

10. 13
• For Enterprise and Backhaul services, representative
terminal antenna sizes will be in the 1.8 to 2.0 meter range,
though sizes as small as 1.2 meter could be considered
• Support bit rates between 2 Mbps and 30 Mbps
• Typical terminal EIRP from 59 dBW to 66 dBW
• Typical terminal G/T = 25.5 dB/K
• Nominally 2 meter aperture antenna, 5 to 50 Watt
transmitters
• May be SCPC or TDMA in either direction
