No: 100/2589/2008). Cabinet has also approved ATSB® as the prime contractor to design, develop, integrate, test, launch, commission, operate and establish the communication services. 2009 : Launch of Measat-3a (21/06/09) : Launch of RazakSAT® (14/07/09) : Initiation of the Phase A of the Comsat Programme (User Requirement, Mission Study and Technology Capacity Audit) (17/09/09)

Development currently in Phase A: User Requirement Analysis, Mission

Role of Communication Satellite (1)

• The purpose of a communication satellite is not to replace the ground communication network, but to complement – i.e. a good communication network should consists of fiber, dedicated lines, wireless and satellite links

• How communication satellite adds value to a communication network: – Large Coverage Area – A communication satellite can be designed to cover the whole of Malaysia. • Access to rural area, mountain, sea, forest

– Reliability and Availability – Not affected by broken physical connection. 5

Role of Communication Satellite (2) • Example of current utilization of communication satellite by the Government: – E-Government (EG*Net). Example: • • • • • •

Generic Office Environment (GOE) eProcurement, Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) Electronic Services (e-Services) JobsMalaysia E-Syariah

– SchoolNet – Disaster Management (E.g. Sistem Amaran Awal Tsunami) – Strategic Communication

• More on this later … 6

Main objectives of the National Communication Satellite Programme

1. To fulfill government requirements in establishing ubiquitous ICT network and secure communication. 2. To promote national capacity building in designing, developing and constructing our own National satellite for immediate and as well as future needs.

3. To involve a large participation of local Malaysian users and industry sectors.

-Bridging Digital Divide-

ATSB® 2010 Proprietary Confidential

Benefits of the Comsat Programme 1. To complete the Malaysian Government implementation of Multimedia Super Corridor Flagship Programmes in bridging the digital divide. 2. To serve the newly created economic corridors. 3. Provision of secure communications to government and defence sectors. 4. Dedicated communications for applications such as UAV and tactical communications. 5. Local content will improve cost effectiveness and reliability. 6. Enhance the Human Capital Development in the country. 7. Development of supporting space industry as a catalyst for economic growth.

E-Government (EG) • E-Government is “A multimedia networked paperless administration linking government agencies within Putrajaya with government centres around the country to facilitate a collaborative government environment and efficient service to businesses and citizens” • Under the responsibility of MAMPU ( Malaysia Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit)

• EG uses network managed by GITN (Government Integrated Telecommunication Network) • GITN utilizes communication satellites as part of its network

E-Government (EG) • Examples of developments under EG (source: EG Book 2009): Project

Description

Users

eProcurement

Enables suppliers to sell goods and services to the Government through the Internet. Suppliers “open shop” on the World Wide Web, advertise their goods, present their pricing, process orders and Deliveries.

25 Ministries and 2,249 Responsibility Centers

Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS)

It provides a single interface for Government personnel to perform human resource management functions in an integrated environment.

724 agencies

Electronic Services (e-Services)

To enable the public to transact more easily with the Government agencies and utility companies via multiple electronic delivery channels.

JobsMalaysia

One-stop center for job applications.

11,546 have succeeded in getting a job through JobsMalaysia (@ June 2009)

Education Sector (SchoolNet) • The aim of SchoolNet is to provide a broadband infrastructure to all schools in Malaysia (Total 9,922 school in M’sia as of 31 Jan 2010). • Under responsibility of Kementerian Tenaga, Air dan Komunikasi (KTAK) and Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia (KPM) • 2973 (~30% @ 24 Mac 2009) of the schools are being serviced by communication satellite (via VSAT) • 1 Mbps for the downlink and 128 kbps for uplink. • Ministry of Education during the user survey indicated that the network needs considerable improvement in term of bandwidth capacity and availability.

Health Three major ICT programs have been implemented within the Ministry of Health domain to facilitate the healthcare transformation; namely MOH*Net, Telehealth and Tele Primary Care (TPC).

TelePrimary Care • TelePrimary Care is an initiative driven by Minister of Health to deliver health services to patient and public using ICT facilities. • The target groups of this program are rural clinics and remote health centres. • Clinics are provided with hardware, local area networks and satellite communications to allow for teleconsultation with specialists, as well as support services such as laboratory, imaging and prescription. • 73 government clinics, 10 health departments and four hospitals employed TPC nationwide (@July 2009). E.g. Klinik Kesihatan Gelang Patah, Johor & Klinik Kesihatan Kuala Oya, Mukah.

Disaster Management • National Tsunami Early Warning System – Tidal Gauges Network ( 21 locations around Malaysia connected via VSAT) – Buoy Network ( 2 locations connected via Inmarsat-C) – Seismic Network ( 12 locations connected via VSAT)

Link Budget Analysis • To evaluate statistical distributions of overall RF system performances. • To take into account the possible correlation of different terms of the link budget. • Analysis will be refined all along the project, as equipment performances will be known. • Not possible to predict the exact behavior of the overall system. • Minimize the risks by maximizing system losses, and by taking into account worst cases values for the different contributors to the calculation. • Assume the service and capacity requirements are known. • Present what need to be known to analyze the link quality; - Ground Terminal Characteristics - Satellite coverage definitions - Multiple access techniques - Satellite capabilities and payload design

Link Budget Analysis (Cont’d) • The parameters of the Malaysian Appendix 30B; – Orbital Position: 78.5 °E – EIRP Density Limit for C/Ku-Band (Planned Band) • C-band: -38.4 dBW/Hz + 10 log (BWMHz) • Ku-Band: -22.2 dBW/Hz + 10 log (BWMHz)
