SES Partner Teleport - CWG
17
- SES Proprietary and Confidential -
• CWG is official ‘SES Partner
Teleport’ in Nigeria
• SES provides satellite based ground
services to broadcasting customers in
Nigeria on Astra2F (28.2°E) using CWG
RF infrastructure and expertise
• SES provides the necessary
DTH/Playout equipment
20
SES promotes an hybrid DTT/DTH solution allowing terrestrial network operators to efficiently
Feed DTT transmitters and
Complement coverage in white spots with Direct-to-Home (DTH) broadcasting
The joint use of satellite capacity for the two applications is an alternative to the pure commercial
offering consisting of dual capacity: capacity for DTH + capacity for DTT feeding
USP’s to customer:
Cost savings: space segment required only once
DTH compatibility without development of any specific STB
DTT compatibility with all network topologies (MFN and SFN)
Integrated DTT/ DTT SAT approach allowing for
• optimized network design
• lower CAPEX required as DTT SAT offering is de facto existing
• 100% reach from the onset
Introduction
Satellites and DTT Networks
DTT Feeding
21
Primary or secondary (back-up) feeding of DTT networks
Why Who (Potential Satellite Customers)
• Satellite ubiquity and coverage
• Country size and topology
• Number of sites
• Location of sites (e.g. in mountains)
• Time constraint
• Reduced investment vs. terrestrial feeding
• Controllable OPEX
• DTT Network Operators
• Multiplex Operators
Complementing DTT networks by a DTH package replicating all DTT content (as in many Western Europe
countries: UK, France, Italy…)
Why Who (Potential Satellite Customers)
• Country size and topology
• Regulatory constraint to reach 100% of the population or
• Time constraint
• Reduced investment vs. terrestrial reception only (less towers)
• Commercial operator willing to establish an alternative to DTT
• Opportunity to build a low end / entry level platform allowing
development of additional services and/or upselling of premium
bouquets
• DTT Network Operators
• DTH Operators
• Multiplex Operators

• Analogue can only be switched-off once digital has a high reach (close to 100%).
Only a technical coverage is not enough! Thus: support of satellite services is necessary to
accommodate an early switch-off date.
• Important observation: starting satellite transmissions at early stage in the process
stimulates the uptake of digital reception equipment at end-user level.

Ytoday
Digital Satellite is:
1. Quick
2. Cost effective
3. Complementary to DTT
4. Available everywhere from Day 1
5. High quality
Why Satellite for Digitalization?
25
Especially in the early phases, satellite to drive the digital transition. Satellites play a
leading role in the transition phase.
- SES Proprietary and Confidential -
Why SES?
Global expertise and proven track record in digitalization processes.
A growing number of consumer dishes pointing to SES satellite on
ASTRA 2F (28.2°E) already today.
Existing local African channels on the SES platform.
Local presence of SES in West Africa (Ghana and Nigeria).
High powered satellite capacity in the market.
SES commonly provides end-to-end services portfolio, i.e. one-partner
for all aspects moving your images.

Reach and Cost Remain our Main Strengths
Illustrating satellite’s cost efficiency for content
distribution: Costs per channel and household per
year.
Satellite can cover the entire Nigerian population,
enabling a high digital reach rapidly
What percentage of the population needs to be
covered by DTT – Financial Metrics:
Incremental satellite cost is independent from
where households are located and from the
number of receiving points.

Satellite will get its share of the digitization process as terrestrial networks lack reach and their

Hybrid DTT/ DTH
Innovation
Innovative concept: DTH transmission made compatible with all DTT networks topologies!
Proposed solution
Allows both DTH reception via standard STB’s and DTT distribution whatever the network topology
Product available commercially as of today
Specific equipment to be installed at UL site and DTT towers (at no significant delta cost vs. other
non-hybrid solutions)
Allows for content
• Protection with CAS, simultcrypting if required
• Regionalization, benefiting from MPLP feature available in DVB-T2
Commercial model upon customer’s request:
Either dual supplier mode:
• SES commercializing Satellite capacity
• Third party in charge of head-end set-up and operations
Or SES offering a OSS (One-Stop-Shop) solution encompassing both elements
31
DTT/DTH Hybrid – Reference Diagram
Content is aggregated at a central head-end before being up-linked to the satellite
Time-synchronisation and deterministic multiplexing at transmission sites ensures SFN compliance
Satellite transponder is operated in ‘classical’ DTH MCPC mode
Low data rate overhead to be carried over the DTH MUX (up to a couple of hundreds of kbps)
The satellite can feed both DTT transmitter sites and DTH receivers from the same transmission
