BGAN Market Driver Facts
  • Data Solutions are needed to drive a modern
    organisation
  • Typical applications are designed to be used in a
    Local Area Network (LAN) environment
  • Mobile use is growing faster than any other
    method. End users are not in an office (or dont
    want to be)
  • Inmarsat Data Solutions (esp,) BGAN, are Business
    Enablers to improve efficiency where and when
    such normal office connections are not
    available
  • BGAN has a far wider reach than other third
    generation services and can be just as cost
    competitive
  • BGAN is secure and totally independent of local
    infrastructure

13
What does the customer need?
  • Global or regional coverage?
  • Mobile, fixed or portable connectivity?
  • Voice or data, or both simultaneously?
  • Low speed data or high speed data?
  • Demand assigned charges or package pricing?
  • Post-pay or pre-pay?

BGAN WILL SERVE ALL OF THESE NEEDS The answers to
these questions will tell you how to position
BGAN against its competitors help to build a
solution to sell

Feedback on strategic questions
  • Can Inmarsat take a share of handheld MSS voice
    market with BGAN?
  • Print media voice will be a nice add-on, but
    we will not get rid of our Thuraya handsets
  • Print media voice on the move is a key
    requirement
  • Print media voice capability of BGAN is a key
    benefit
  • Implication BGAN can displace elements of MSS
    voice
  • Can Inmarsat attack low-end VSAT market with
    BGAN?
  • Media We currently swap to VSAT after 8 weeks
  • Construction We will not deploy VSAT if
    project duration is less than six months
  • Broadcast bonding two BGAN terminals will
    enable us to replace our VSAT trucks
  • Implication Some indication that convenience is
    more important than price

BGAN Competition The Competitive Environment
for BGAN and Positioning for Success
44
BGAN market space (1)
  • Inmarsat has conducted an extensive programme of
    market intelligence since Q1 2004
  • Total market for L-band voice services is
    estimated to be 500m with an installed base of
    around 500,000 annual ARPU of 1k.
  • Total market for next-generation L-band services
    is predicted to be worth 800m a year by 2010
    with 50,000 installed units annual ARPU of
    16k. Source Northern Sky Research
  • Total VSAT market estimated as 38bn in 2002 but
    less than 5 related to corporate communications.
    IP broadband via satellite is still a nascent
    market. Source Bain

45
BGAN market space (2)
  • Predicting the addressable market for BGAN is
    challenging
  • Market is still emergent
  • BGAN is a completely new product proposition
  • Slow development to date of terrestrial
    high-speed mobile data market
  • Inmarsat has concluded that BGAN will occupy a
    unique market position, with only small overlap
    with other technologies

47
BGAN market space (4)
  • Portable high speed data
  • Rapid deployment, highly moveable, stationary
    during use
  • BGANs primary market
  • Very limited competition within MSS
  • Semi-fixed applications
  • Transportable but only moved occasionally,
  • VSAT services offering high data speeds (up to 4
    Mbps) with bulky, expensive equipment
  • Possible for BGAN to compete in some
    circumstances

48
BGAN market space (5)
  • Fixed
  • Never moves portability is therefore not a
    factor
  • VSAT services offering high data speeds (up to
    30Mbps) with equipment costs either the same or
    lower that BGAN
  • Possible for BGAN to compete in very limited
    circumstances
  • Mobile
  • Consumer and business voice and low speed data
    services
  • High levels of competition from cellular and MSS
    handheld
  • BGAN cannot compete directly as not truly mobile
  • Voice traffic will be an upside from a primarily
    data sale

49
BGAN market space (6)
  • In same location for an extended period
  • Campus
  • gt1 week up to several months
  • On the move/pause
  • Nomad
  • Up to one week in the same location
  • Permanent installation
  • Alternatives are unreliable, low bandwidth,
    expensive or slow to deploy

50
BGAN competitionA top level view
  • Portable HSD and semi-fixed
  • MSS systems, e.g. Thuraya DSL
  • Transportable VSAT
  • Terrestrial systems, e.g. 3G and WiFi
  • Mobile voice and fixed data
  • MSS handheld systems

BGAN - market segment
Target Usage Segment
Motivation to buy BGAN
  • Use BGAN functional advantage to gain market
    share with aggressive pricing options for data,
    to counter semi-fixed VSAT and competitive voice
    vs. other MSS to up-sell voice
  • Maximise lease opportunities
  • Attract voice only usage once terminal is
    purchased/deployed

New market opportunity Can compete Main market
63
Inmarsats supplier level competitive advantages
  • Market leader for 25 years with established
    customer base
  • Recognised brand amongst core segments - global
    coverage, service reliability, GMDSS
  • Portfolio to address varying needs
  • Global channel presence
  • Next generation satellites one successfully
    launched and second to be launched shortly fully
    funded
  • Clear migration path to next generation,
    high-value services

64
Your service level competitive factors
  • Building loyalty with your SPs customers
    through service enrichments and attractive
    pricing points
  • Understanding of your SP/customer needs
  • Knowledge of which solution best fits
    SP/customers needs
  • Before and after sales services

65
BGAN Unleashing The Power Of The Demonstration
66
BGAN selling-demonstrationsTrain your
salespeople to be able to develop and deliver a
20 minute customised demonstration that shows the
customera) Something that matches the
customers own application needb) Highlights
your most relevant USPsc) How the value chain
can enhance their productivityd) How BGAN will
reduce their costs!!e) Something that
demonstrates how BGAN beats the competition
67
BGAN PricingCreating The Best Packages to
Attract The Right Customers
68
BGAN offers value for money not just commodity
units
  • The feature richness of BGAN should always be
    sold over and above the actual cost of a minute
    or megabyte
  • What is the value of flexibility? Having the
    ability to up move your remote office at short
    notice, without having to re-install connectivity
    at a new site with the project downtime this may
    cause is invaluable.
  • Real time file transfers can mean real money to a
    company, minute 1, a file can be worth 100k,
    minute 3, 50k, minute 5 onwards 0

69
BGAN pricing strategy - core positioning
  • High-speed mobile data with voice
  • Unique BGAN is a leader, not a follower
  • A premium service
  • Still largely a multi-niche play
  • Need to move focus away from price to overall
    value

BGAN is a superior integrated product offering
based on reliability, performance, ubiquitous
coverage, security, portability and flexibility
70
Voice service pricing
  • Very competitive voice price
  • Target end user price lt1 per-minute
  • Good channel margins

75
BGAN Packages What are they?
  • Standard pricing model for Broadband data, both
    in fixed line and cellular industries with
    typically a minimum contract duration.
  • Inclusive allowances of Standard IP and Voice for
    a fixed monthly subscription fee.
  • Improved value for increased monthly
    subscription.

76
BGAN Packages Why have them?
  • With high data speeds and increased traffic
    volumes, paying on a per MByte basis is not
    always a suitable pricing model.
  • End users want fixed costs to avoid bill shock,
    as it becomes more difficult to predict usage
    volumes.
  • Benefits to SPs
  • Convert unpredictable usage based revenues to
    predictable subscription based revenues.
  • Minimum contract duration ties users in, allowing
    opportunity to have an on-going relationship with
    users.
  • Low data prices to change perception of Inmarsat
    being expensive to broaden market reach for BGAN.
  • Increased margins as users usually purchase
    allowances that are larger than their
    requirements. Any usage outside allowance will be
    at a rate higher than the implied rate in the
    allowance.

77
BGAN Packages Options for DPs SPs
  • Use standard Inmarsat packages as building blocks
    to create new retail packages. Improves
    differentiation and helps to target different
    market and customer segments.
  • Example
  • Inmarsat Standard IP allowances are 20, 100, 750
    2,000MBs. SPs should fill in the gaps with
    own packages.
  • Minimum duration subscription based pricing gives
    the opportunity to include a subsidy for
    terminals.
  • Ability to create bespoke allowances for
    individual customers

78
Package Options
  • Reducing prices in bundles
  • Increasing subscription
  • Increased access to services

79
Pricing Things You Should Know (1)
  • There is a minimum charge for circuit switched
    voice, data and streaming data based on a minimum
    duration
  • There is a minimum charge for standard IP data
    based on data volume
  • These minimum charges will apply to each CDR
  • If a single call or IP session straddles more
    than one CDR then the minimum charges may apply
    more than once to that session
  • This will only be significant if the call length
    or data amount is not as great as the minimum
    call length or data volume charging thresholds.

  • Models
  • Status Quo User obtains licence/visited country
  • Service Provider or DP applies for licence in a
    country
  • Global circulation of terminals
  • Only Yemen forbid access to Inmarsat terminals
  • Use can be subject to conditions which vary from
    country to country
  • Info in regulatory database
  • Support from Inmarsat to obtain terminal licences
  • Enforcement currently light
