Abstract

Potential of hybrid networks compared to terrestrial networks

This report explores the various initiatives aimed at developing hybrid satellite networks in Europe, involving both the space segment and a terrestrial segment of repeaters that are compatible with the satellite network. The award of two pan-European licences is expected to spur the development of mobile TV services, as well as mobile telephony and broadband solutions.

Key Questions

What potential do these hybrid networks have?
What is CGC/DVB-SH technology that makes it possible to develop this type of network?
How do these hybrid networks work?
Which players will rely on these hybrid networks?
What strategies are chipset/device manufacturers employing, and what agreements have already been announced?
What services will these players offer? Where is the added value?
How do these players plan on positioning themselves with respect to mobile operators: as partners or rivals?

Methodology- Economic Modelling

Economic modelling of the cost of deploying a mobile network in a rural zone.

Goal: to achieve a theoretical assessment of the incremental investment needed to cover an additional block of the population, when coverage exceeds 70%, for different wireless technologies and in different frequency bands (UMTS/HSPA - 2100 MHz, LTE - 2600 MHz or 800 MHz).
Two cost elements factored in: density of the deployed radio network; upgrade of the backhaul network needed for routing mobile traffic.
Results: an assessment of the average rollout cost per-subscriber in France and in Italy, which have different geographical population distribution curves which means a big difference in the cost of covering the last 10% of the population.
