1. IPSTAR Strengths

       • Short Term & Long Term Viability & Competitiveness
          • A 45 Gbps satellite serving 8 million+ users, as opposed to a              conventional 1-2 Gbps satellite with a few hundred thousand              users
          • Optimum synergistic commercial model
             • Cost-effective & Superior Performance (for bandwidth & user                 terminal). Much lower cost than normal satellite VSAT or DVB                 solutions
             • One of the largest bandwidth platforms available
             • Optimally redesigned for broadband Internet (not a broadcast                 or ATM technology)
          • Platform and Nationwide Uniform Networks
          • A Hotbird satellite TV concept

       • Reliable Technology
          • A seamless design and integration of all related systems (Space             and Ground Systems)
          • Early commercial for 3 years making it a robust system with              substantial initial user volume
          • Commercial gateways in 6 countries cooperating with several              satellite companies
          • Already developed many applications serving both Mass &             Vertical Markets (Diversified customer base as business               cushion)

       • IPSTAR is pioneering a new “Second Generation Broadband             Satellite” industry
          • IPSTAR has strong momentum to expand & lead the market,              regionally & globally
          • IPSTAR’s success will help establish the future of “Broadband              Satellite” industry in parallel with conventional satellite industry
          • IPSTAR also pioneers Application Platforms & Multi-Dimension &              Multi-Tier Business Structures, beyond building a VSAT or First              Generation broadband network, or launching a new satellite

       • Business Model Flexibility
          • Addresses both Mass Market (Broadband Internet Access) &              Vertical Market (Traditional satellite communications              services) - create a diversified customer base as business              cushion
          • Aggressive roll-out and supportive commercial programs to               ensure success
          • Immediate and long term solutions with FG (First Generation)              service today and SG (Second Generation) as future migration              and expansion

2. Benefits of All-IP Services

    • IPSTAR is fundamentally designed as a broadband IP infrastructure
      • Optimized for most IP applications & protocols

    • IPSTAR as a satellite-based broadband technology & platform
       1. Large service coverage & flexible locations
         • Broadband On Demand: Anywhere & Anytime Uniform, Nationwide             Service
         • Pocket disperse users in a large geographical area
         • Fast & Flexible service deployment
         • Bypassing terrestrial congestion & multiple link connections
      2.Bandwidth Efficiency
         • Effective Broadcast, Multicast & content distribution medium
         • Bandwidth On Demand: Fit Internet’s Asymmetrical and bursty             nature
         • Efficiently sharing bandwidth with large user base
      3. Broadcast & Multicast
         • More efficient & effective way than DSL or Cable to distribute             various applications & contents (data, video & audio)
      4. Multiple Network Roles
         • IPSTAR has a complementary role to DSL & Cable Broadband             network deployments & advanced applications
            (i) Core Backbone Network or Content Distribution Network
                  • IPSTAR double role as a ‘Last Mile’ direct service network                   to users, and a ‘Middle Mile’ network to supplement                   DSL/Cable’s backbone & broadcast/ multicast network
            (ii) Under-served Areas (DSL/Cable Blind-spot)
                  • IPSTAR is an immediate ‘Last Mile’ direct service                   deployment solution for time-to-market strategy to satisfy                   the uncovered areas
            (iii) Un-served Areas
                  • IPSTAR is an immediate & permanent ‘Last Mile’ direct                   service deployment solution
      5. Centralized & Overlay Network
         • Services can be operated out of a single IPSTAR Gateway          instead of hundreds or thousands of edges/ nodes all over the          country
         • A simple centralized Data Center model service network
         • Bypasses complex terrestrial network & congestion of multiple          network layers, protocols, switches, routers, & edge servers
