<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">Internet
service providers (ISPs) might be disappointed with
Azerspace/Africasat-1, the first national telecommunications
satellite of Azerbaijan, due to its lack of Ka-band transponders
necessary for satellite broadband Internet services. The same,
however, will not apply to <b>VSAT</b> service consumers.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">Azerspace's
owner-operator, Azercosmos, designed the satellite to provide VSAT
technology services to large commercial customers. The Azerbaijani
satellite is thus equipped with a payload of Ku-band and C-band
transponders. The nature and service orientation of Azerspace makes
it more expensive to deliver <a href="http://www.newsat.com/VSAT/broadband.html" target="_blank">Internet from satellite</a> services- perhaps too expensive
for the tastes of ISPs.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">At
the same time, Azerbaijan does host a significant number of VSAT
service consumers. Oil companies can use Azerspace-powered satellite
communications solutions to stay in touch with their maritime assets
and remotely run their pipeline infrastructure. Both Azerbaijan State
Caspian Shipping Company (CASPAR) and the State Maritime
Administration (ARDDA) can leverage the new satellite to control
maritime vessels. Azercosmos also predicted the possibility of
reeling in commercial banks as customers.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">The
United States accounts for half of the global VSAT market. However,
Russia currently enjoys the fastest-growing demand for such services.
The agencies of the Russian federal government is currently
implementing universal communication service and education throughout
the country. In addition, large corporations, small and medium
regional business, and private users all use satellite services.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">Azerspace/Africasat-1a
was built by Orbital Sciences Corporation and launched by Arianespace
from Kourou, French Guiana on February 7, 2013. Designed for an
operational lifespan of 15 years, its 24 C-band transponders and 12
Ku-band transponders can deliver services to <a href="http://www.newsat.com/VSAT/vsat-services.html" target="_blank">VSAT</a> users in
Azerbaijan, Central Asia, Europe, Middle East, and Africa.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">One
of the biggest Internet Communications Service Providers (ISPs) in
Africa has awarded a $6.5 million contract to Spacecom for the

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">The
New Millenium <a href="http://www.newsat.com/VSAT/vsat-services.html" target="_blank">VSAT</a> Hub takes a cue from the earlier Discovery Series
of DVB-RCS Hubs. The Advantech product raises the bar when it comes
to capacity, capability, and efficiency. A single New Millenium rack
can support up to 20,000 remote terminals; provide 775Mbps of traffic
to the remotes; spread the aforementioned traffic over 5 separate
transponders/satellites and 480 TDMA carriers; and receive up to
240Mbps of IP traffic generated by the remote terminal population.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">Designed
to operate with C-band, X-band, Ku-band, and Ka-Band satellite
frequencies, the New Millennium VSAT Hub supports Advantech's very
own Satellite Interactive Terminals family of remote terminals. It
also supports Star, star/mesh hybrid, and high-capacity SCPC.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">Of
note is the suitability of the New Millenium for the needs of Network
Operators and Service Providers. Its scalability allows CAPEX
expenditures to match network growth, its VNO capability lets its
support large numbers of virtual operators, and its VPN capability
establishes communications security for sensitive information
transfers.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">PolarSat
satellite communications technology served as the foundation of the
<b>VSAT</b> back-up network that Turkish service provider IsNet recently
completed for a local oil and gas company. In case the enterprise
customer's terrestrial network suffers from an outage of
connectivity, the IsNet back-up system will immediately deliver
satellite connectivity on demand.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">The
Inset VSAT network serves as a back-up to the terrestrial Next
Generation Network (NGN). It is a full mesh all-IP based network
comprised of sixteen sites scattered throughout Turkey. Each site is
equipped with the PolarSat VSATPlus 3 MF-TDMA satellite modem and
support a complex mix of voice and data communications. IsNet manages
the entire backup network from its operational control center.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">The
private network uses VSATPlus 3 to eliminate any single point of
failure and ensure greater reliability. In addition, the full mesh
capability of the PolarSat satellite modem lets a station link up
with any other site in the network with only a single hop over the
satellite. And since the sites can share bandwidth with each other,
the cost of implementing the satellite network was greatly decreased. </span></span></div>

VSAT satellite service provider MTN Satellite Communications recently signed new contracts and activities with luxury cruise operators Paul Gauguin Cruises, The World, and Windstar Cruises to supply a series of VSAT services.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aside from <a href="http://www.newsat.com/VSAT/vsat-services.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">VSAT</span></a>, Florida-based MTN will also provide data, Internet, voice, news, entertainment and financial services to customers, with the goal of developing overall business operations and guarantee the satisfaction of passengers and crew welfare initiatives.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Our team at MTN recognizes that no two customers are alike and it is our job to develop communication solutions that not only meet, but exceed their unique communications requirements,” MTN Vice President and General Manager Brent Horwitz said in a statement. “The fact that these prestigious cruise lines chose to use MTN for delivery to customers who demand only the best is a testament to our ability to lead market innovation when it comes to high-quality, reliable maritime connectivity solutions.”

World-leading solutions manufacturer KVH Industries has now expanded the capacity of the company’s mini-VSAT Broadband network in the Caribbean region to cater to the higher demand of the thriving customer base.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The expanded capacity is said to be part of the current global network upgrade which involves the deployment of Variable Coding, Spreading, and Modulation (VCSM) technology supplied by ViaSat. KVH Industries utilizes spread spectrum technology specifically built to enable the use of antennas that are 85 percent smaller compared to competing products, all while still providing high-speed and quality service.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
KVH plans on developing the company by using its business model and by leveraging the readily available commercial FSS satellite capacity which covers the globe’s oceans provided by leading industries, instead of investing in its own satellites. The mini-<a href="http://www.newsat.com/VSAT/vsat-services.html">VSAT</a> Broadband network currently rents 17 transponders to cover the world using a hybrid network, which includes C-band and Ku-band coverage, using KVH’s unique one meter, dual-mode TracPhone V11 antenna.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a statement, KVH Mobile Broadband Group Executive Vice President Brent Bruun said, “Our customers enjoy the highest quality satellite service available, with downloads as fast as 4 Mbps and uploads as fast as 1 Mbps, as well as crystal clear Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone lines with optimized service and prioritization of applications. The addition of this new capacity in the Caribbean in time for the busy winter season is a perfect example of how we actively monitor and manage our mini-VSAT Broadband network to ensure we are delivering the speeds and quality of service our customers expect.” </div>

The report of NSR’s Broadband Satellite Markets 11th Edition projected the worldwide VSAT, Broadband Satellite, Trunking and Backhaul markets to acquire a total of $9.1 billion come 2021, as subscribers of satellite broadband Internet access will surpass 5.2 million worldwide in ten years, and the enterprise VSAT installed base will reach almost 2.9 million sites.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In his report, NSR Senior Analyst Patrick M. French said, “The launch of new high throughput satellites in North America finally began to impact the growth curve for satellite broadband Internet access services in 2012. NSR expects that these services will prove their mettle in the coming 12 to 18 months in North America, and this should give the needed nudge to other regions like Western Europe and Latin America."
With regards to enterprise <a href="http://www.newsat.com/VSAT/vsat-services.html">VSAT</a>, the report also predicts that within a few years, the developing Asian and Latin American markets will have bigger installed VSAT bases compared to mature markets like North America.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Northern Sky Research also expects that as services change to provisioning with HTS and O3b capacity, IP trunking and backhaul services will make compelling strides. This migration serves as a way to offer more capacity at an affordable price than the traditional Ku-band and Traditional C- services.</div>

</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Back in September 2012, Astrium Services announced that it has improved the coverage and service of its Pharostar, Sealink, and Wavecall brands. The three Astrium maritime VSAT services use iDirect technology to meet the maritime market's need for high-performance broadband connectivity.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Astrium had boosted data throughput speeds for both standardized VSAT systems and the Sealink custom solutions. Standard very small aperture terminals can reach 3 Mbps while Sealink solutions can hit up to 10 Mbps. This means faster data transfers and more cost-efficient connections for maritime vessels who use Astrium services.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-family: 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The improved speeds of Astrium VSAT services will be able to provide fast and always-on connectivity to maritime applications such as <a href="http://www.newsat.com/VSAT/broadband.html" target="_blank">Internet from satellite</a> access, email, voice calls, fax and SMS, database backup, video and file transfer protocol for business and crew communications.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In addition, Astrium has completed its geographical coverage extensions over the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) in October 2012. The Company expects to extend its services to the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean before the year ends. Astrium VSAT service customers will automatically receive coverage in the new areas. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Astrium services can also be combined with both Ku-band and complimentary MSS connectivity, allowing the maritime vessel to stay connected even outside VSAT coverage zones. Another optional is the Vizada XChange control platform, which can enhance the <a href="http://www.newsat.com/VSAT/vsat-services.html" target="_blank">VSAT</a> extension through its remote fleet management services.</span></span></div>
