Commercial X-BandSupports DoD Need for Commercial Capacity
Commercial XCommercial X--BandBandSupports Supports DoDDoD Need for Need for Commercial CapacityCommercial Capacity
June 11, 2008William R. SchmidtVice President, Government ServicesXTAR, [email protected]
• X-Band offers significant capacity in needed areas: SWA, Mid-East, Africa, open ocean
• High power transmitters and steerable beams offer a clear performance advantage for high data rate users, small deployable terminal, and comms-on-the-move
• “Train up” in anticipation of WGS transition
• Single hop Iraq to CONUS
• Single hop Afghanistan to Europe
• Treat cost just like any other CommSatCom buy: pay for C, Ka, Ku, or commercial X, its all commercial

Challenges, Opportunities, and RollsChallenges, Opportunities, and Rolls
• Opportunities working with the government• ComSatComm needs growing• More bandwidth intensive applications like UAV’s
• Challenges working with the government• Lack of forecasting• Lack of significant budget line item• Perception that X-Band is “free”
to user: why pay for commercial X-band?
• What role will commercial SATCOM services play in the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? • Continue to support variety of mission requirements
6
SummarySummary
• DoD and other U.S. Government capacity requirements continue to grow beyond ability of USG assets to supply
• DoD and industry need to work more closely together
• Need to consider all commercial alternatives – C, Ka, Ku, X
• Cost should be thought of as same as other commercial bandwidths
