Throughput (bits/Hz)

Ultra-Wide Transponders

15 times bigger Frequency Reusage

500MHz transponders vs
• FSS Satellite: 1~2Gbps (Currently 36MHz prevalent now
Available in India)
• Highest bandwidth available
from a HTS: 100Gbps (Already in
use [USA])
• Double the capacity is expected
in the next two years

 Hughes Proposal for India

 Hughes has proposed to the

Indian Government to put up a
High Throughput Satellite for
India at an investment of $500
Million
 We have been waiting for
Governmental approvals for last
seven years
 In the short term ease out the
space segment procurement
norms so that we can exploit the
quick deployment advantage of
the satellite
