 CABLE RESTORATION  SERVICES

Traditional cable restoration service is designed for restoring services via satellite during outages of
telecommunication cables. The cable restoration services are provided by INTELSAT on an occasional
use as well as on a longer term basis when there is a planned outage.

INTELSAT currently offers three different cable restoration services, each aimed at the restoration of a
different type of size of cable:

Wideband submarine cable restoration, for the restoration of digital optical fibre cables;
Cable repair service, for the planned restoration of medium capacity (up to 4 000 circuits) cable
systems when extensive repair is needed;
Cable circuit restoration, for the restoration of telecommunication cables on an occasional use
basis.
