Couple of Satellite Backhaul Presentations

After publishing the emergency communication options last week, I was made aware of couple of recent presentations on Satellite backhaul options. The first one is from Richard Deasington of iDirect at MWC 2015:

The other one is from Vince Onuigbo of Hughes. As can be seen above, the biggest issue with Satellites is the latency which is 600ms for the geostationary satellites. Anyway, here is their presentation:

Satellite Backhaul for Rural Small Cells

 A typical problem with the rural small cells is how to power and backhaul them. Power issue can be solved using Solar cells, wind turbines, etc. and generally a combination of them as a failsafe mechanism but what about the backhaul.

DSL is generally not available and Microwave links maybe difficult to acheive. How about Satellite backhaul?

iDirect have an analysis on the business case of using Satellite for backhaul which is embedded below:

Small Cells and Satellite from Zahid Ghadialy

An Informa report titled "Satellite backhaul for rural small cells" is also available on Slideshare here.
