IPSTAR Broadband Satellite
Digital technologies and
broadband are opening new
opportunities for administrations,
businesses and communities in
Asia-Pacific.
In addition to being vital to
productivity and development,
the demand for broadband is
constantly growing in everyday
life, in schools and in public
administrations as well as in
every business sector thinkable.
Public agencies and organisations
need to answer the challenge of
safeguarding homeland security
and disaster recovery services-
anywhere and any time.
>> Removing distance barriers with the world's most advanced high speed, two-way satellite communications system
For the region's consumers the Internet is
evolving beyond e-mails, and broadband
connectivity is becoming an implicit "way of
life" for downloading music and videos or
reaping the benefits of distance learning. This
ever-growing volume of rich media brings with
it the need to deliver higher bit rates and
universal broadband Internet access in even
the remotest areas of the region.
> IPSTAR: at the forefront of Asia-Pacific's
broadband revolution
IPSTAR is the only orbiting satellite in Asia-
Pacific designed for high speed communica-
tions over an Internet Protocol platform,
facilitating two-way broadband connectivity,
products and solutions.
Whether it is distance learning for rural
communities and schools, retail network
communication systems, or delivery of "always
on" high speed Internet to small and medium-
sized businesses, IPSTAR Broadband Satellite
can play a key role in empowering universal
access to broadband Internet.
The key benefits of the IPSTAR system are its
ability to provide an immediately available,
high-capacity ground network with affordable
bandwidth and satellite end user terminals.
The system allows for rapid deployment and
flexible service locations anywhere, any time
under its extensive footprint in Asia and the
Pacific.
From its launch in August 2005, IPSTAR has
become synonymous with low-cost broadband
satellite services, aimed at helping the
community at large, especially where there is
a lack of landlines and telecom infrastructure
able to support broadband technology.
The satellite's massive 45 Gbps of aggregate
bandwidth capac i ty- far h i gher than
conventional satellites-satisfies the enormous
demand for broadband Internet for millions of
users: consumers, corporate customers,
service providers and telecom operators alike.
> Enter the world of IPSTAR Broadband

Cambodia Education Project
Empowering Rural Communities in Cambodia
Lately, a number of rural communities in
Cambodia are benefiting from access to the
Internet, made possible by IPSTAR. Requiring
a computer and electr ic i ty-which are
commodities elsewhere, but out of reach for
most of the population in remote Cambodian
villages-the computers in these villages are
connected to a community WLAN powered by
solar cells that provide up to six hours of
operating time.
The villages, which had no access to any form
of Internet previously, are now receiving
regular news updates and can benefit from
various public sector services, including remote
medical diagnosis, distance learning, and
e-government services.
"There is no more powerful weapon than the
Internet to fight poverty in the developing
world. The Internet can reach every corner of
the poorest region with information and
knowledge, and save lives through medical
guidance and diagnostics. It also gives 'a voice'
to those who have never been represented
before. For us here in Asia, it is all possible
because of IPSTAR", said Country Director of
Japan Relief for Cambodia, Nuon So Thero.

Relief for Cambodia
The positive socio-economic impact of
broadband is tremendous, promoting the goal
of a knowledge-based society. Information and
education are crucial cornerstones for higher
standards of living and competitiveness. At the
same time, a widespread secure broadband
infrastructure is essential for the development
and delivery of services and applications to
governments and the public sector, such as e-
Medicine, e-Government, and Distance
Learning-making broadband indispensible for
sustained economic growth and improved
quality of life.
A great number of administrations in Asia-
Pacific utilize IPSTAR solutions for various
purposes:

IPSTAR has built success not
only on the reliability and
flexibility of our in-orbit
resource, but with its ground
system technology and
products as well. The iCONTM
satellite terminal, for example,
is true testimony to our
ongoing efforts to decrease the
size and cost of IPSTAR user
terminals, thereby setting
industry benchmarks.
IPSTAR is driven by a quest for excellence and
an ongoing commitment to innovation to
broaden the scope of satellite applications,
allowing us to develop and deliver effective
broadband satellite solutions.
In parallel with fostering a culture of
technological innovation to extend the scope
of satellite applications, we continue to pursue
our commitment to investing in the IPSTAR on-
ground infrastructure and system. In this
respect, our new IPSTAR Gateway System
faci l i tates highly eff ic ient bandwidth
utilization, promising one of the industry's
highest link availabilities and first-rate
network reliability.
> Continuous Technology Improvement: the
IPSTAR User Terminal
The IPSTAR User Terminal is a low-cost, two-
way, high performance system that works in
conjunction with the IPSTAR in-orbit resource
and the on-ground system. The air interface-
employing advanced waveforms on forward
and return channels-is optimized for overall
system efficiency.
The waveform for the forward channel is based
on TDM-OFDM technology that uti l izes
bandwidth and power more efficiently. The
forward channel is optimized to accommodate
multiple data rates, a variable number of users
of different modulation formats, and forward
error correction coding. The return channel is
based on MF-TDMA technology for bursty
traffic and dedicated allocation for high
bandwidth applications.
The waveform is fixed to a more robust
modulation to ensure link availability at low
transmission power. For higher transmission bit
rates the return channel can be configured for
dedicated bandwidth allocation, behaving as
an SCPC-like (pre-assigned TDMA) channel that
can support higher transmit data rates of up to
2 Mbps.
> Proprietary On-Ground Technology: Dynamic
Link and Bandwidth Management
Because satellite links will always have less
theoretical bandwidth than optical fiber links,
efficient bandwidth management technology is
required to maintain the competitiveness of
broadband satellite systems.
A network control center is used to allocate
bandwidth capacity to each connection
according to current traffic characteristics,
network congestion, link conditions and user
requirements. This technology adjusts
bandwidth dynamically (modulation and
coding) to accomodate changes in weather
conditions, thus maintaining very high link
availability.
IPSTAR's modulation and coding technology
guarantees efficient use of radio frequency
bandwidth, which allows for high and flexible
digital transmission rates, thus enabling the
use of small Ku-band antenna systems suitable
for home and corporate use. The modulation
and coding (link parameters) can be adjusted
dynamically to optimize the trade-off between
bit rate and sudden changes in weather
conditions.
