Summary

Satellite connectivity: Cost is independent of distance

– Satellite is not the first or second option for backhaul

– Satellite, in some cases, is the ONLY option

Rural areas, disaster recovery, mobility platforms

Small Cell and HTS opens untapped possibilities

– Enables 3G and LTE service to areas served by satellite

– Improved end-user experience

– Overall lower Capex and Opex

Media Networks Latin America (MNLA)

– Among first small cell backhauled via HTS in Latin America

– Enables 3G and LTE service in rural and remote locations

– Excellent end-user experience

– Lowest cost per bit for sites backhauled via satellite
