Global Xpress Spectrum
Global payload
User Uplink: 29.5 -30.0 GHz
User Downlink: 19.7 - 20.2 GHz
Feeder Uplink: 28.0 - 29.5 GHz
Feeder Downlink: 18.2 - 19.7 GHz
HCP Payload
User Uplink: 29.0 - 29.5 GHz
User Downlink: 19.2 - 19.7 GHz
Feeder Uplink: 27.5 - 28.0 GHz
Feeder Downlink: 17.7 - 18.2 GHz
Why Ka-band?
2.5 GHz of available spectrum 5 times the availability at Ku
Includes 2x500 MHz of spectrum exclusive to satellite
Fewer operational satellites simplify coordination

Global Xpress User Terminals
Uses adaptive coding and modulation to maintain link in rain-fade
Data rates for 60 cm antenna: 5 Mbit/s uplink, 50 Mbit/s downlink
for 60 cm
Larger and smaller terminals with higher or lower datarates)

Sector trends

Expected changes to technology and spectrum
Inmarsat
Longer-term (10-20 years) technology and
spectrum needs and options
Spectrum aspects:
Satellite spectrum must be well harmonised internationally
Therefore fully reliant on the ITU frequency allocations and
administrations respecting those allocations
For mobile satellite use, sharing with terrestrial use is often impractical,
and that may require administrations to refrain from authorising
terrestrial use in some bands
Technology:
Expect to see more satellites in Ka-band, and additional frequency
bands used for mobility
