Comment les objectifs de régulation

des communications électroniques

peuvent-ils appuyer une politique

d’aménagement numérique du

territoire volontariste ?

Comment les réglementations en Afrique peuvent-elle favoriser

l'essor des communications par satellite ?

Les besoins en connectivité et le rôle du satellite

FRATEL – 14ème Réunion annuelle

Les besoins en connectivité et l’importance du satellite

3

300 million people are over 50 km from fibre

or cable broadband connection

The greater the distance the worse the

connection quality

400 million people have no internet access at

all

10% more broadband connectivity equals 1.38%

increase in GDP for developing nations

Broadband cables are expensive to install

Fibre bridges the digital divide between the

Western World and Africa, but does not bridge

the digital divide within Africa between urban

and non-urban areas

Satellite provides efficient way of

connecting the majority of the 700 million

unconnected people

Satellite also has the advantage of reach

(coverage), providing an efficient way of

connecting the majority of the poorly

connected people

The African Union Heads of State and

Government during their 26th Ordinary

Session on 31 January 2016 (AUC) in Addis

Ababa adopted the African Space Policy

and Strategy as the first of the concrete steps

to realize an African Outer Space Programme,

as one of the flagship programmes of the AU

Agenda 2063.

“Satellite communication is a key technology

that could enable developing countries to

participate in the build-up of the global

information infrastructure. Research indicates

that satellite-based wireless systems are the

most cost-effective way to develop or upgrade

telecommunications networks in areas where

user density is lower than 200 subscribers per

square kilometre. Such wireless systems can

be installed 5 to 10 times faster and at a

50% lower cost than landline networks.”

Importance de la concurrence

2-3 opérateurs de communications par satellite il y a 20 ans / 20-30

opérateurs aujourd’hui

Essentiellement des investissements privés

Croissance considérable de la capacité disponible sur l’Afrique

Pluralité de l’offre et diminution des prix

Portefeuille de services étendu (Télévision, Backhaul, Trunking, connectivité

dédiée, large bande aux institutions, etc.) à plusieurs communautés

d’usagers (e.g. entreprises, gouvernements, écoles, hôpitaux, foyers)

PPPs pour les besoins en services gouvernementaux et des missions

Global satellite operator providing

capacity for reliable and secure satellite

services and solutions

10 satellites at 7 orbital positions. With C-

SES satellites and teleports are

supporting communications networks

across Africa

Committed to growing the African

continent with local teams & regional

offices in Johannesburg, Accra, Lagos

Effets de l’innovation

7

Le secteur innove à plusieurs niveaux

• Lanceurs, propulsion, digital processing, High Throughput, MEOs, équipement au sol

Connectivité plus performante et modulable

Coûts moindres et tarifs plus attractifs

Couverture totale des territoires (« Reach ») maintenue


Optimising mass to generate launch cost savings

Improving capacity allocation with digital processing

9

Advantages of digital processing

Allocates capacity from one beam to another, increasing possible satellite configurations

More processing equals more capacity which can be allocated to regions with high demand

Shift towards smaller beams requires greater ‘switch-ability’

Traditional shaped beams provide wide broadcast coverage

HTS spot beams deliver focused capacity for point-to-point needs

HTS spot beam architectures maximise spectrum re-use with greater theoretical bits/Hz

► O3b constellation is already connecting customers in Burkina, Chad,

Congo, South Sudan, DRC, Madagascar and Somalia

Illustration : Fibre de l’espace à faible latence O3b

Circular equatorial orbit at 8062 km altitude (MEO)

O3b operates in Ka-band

Ultra-low latency satellite network providing #70% of the world's population with fibre

quality internet connectivity (individual speeds of 100 Mbps – 1.6 Gbps)

SES & O3b’s : perspectives A scalable approach to respond to demand

8 additional satellites – Coming 2017-2018

- More capacity

- Larger coverage

- Efficiencies of scale

12

New satellite data network, called SES Plus –

GEO / MEO combination

More flexibility, more scalability, lower cost per bit

• High-speed throughput (up to 1Gbps)

• Guaranteed data rates and quality of service

• Plug and play standardised equipment

• Extended broadband reach in Africa

• Attractive business models

5 markets in Africa with Enterprise+ Broadband

Besoins réglementaires et transfert de connaissance

13

Approche dite « Open Skies » – adapter les règles pour faciliter l’accès au

marché et bénéficier pleinement de la concurrence

• Un traitement juste et non discriminant (« Technology Neutrality »)

• De la transparence

• Un centre technique ou une station de base ne sont pas nécessaires

• Les procédures et conditions de licence peuvent être simples

• L’accès aux fréquences est essentiel

• Les conditions d’importation des équipements sont importantes

SES a déployé un programme de formation sur les télécoms par satellite

(« Elevate »)


Programme « Elevate » de la SES

14

Born in 2012, ELEVATE is SES Quality

Assurance and Accreditation training

programme for satellite (VSAT & DTH)

dish installers across African continent

8,000 installers trained all over Africa

“Train the Trainer” aspect: SES identifies

talented installers and provided them with

training and guidance on how to become

instructors, to enable them to train local

installers

SES involvement in ESMT facilities /

training (engineers) in Dakar, Senegal, to

disseminate satellite telecoms know-how

across French-speaking West Africa.

Dedicated resources (classroom and

always-on Internet connectivity)
