8. ITU Trends: How SWANsat™ fits the ITU Draft Report on IMT-2000

igitalization of transmission technologies characterizes the Direct Broadcast Service, the internet, internet2, fiber optic technologies supported by cable modems, 2.5G, 3G, emerging 4G (IMT-2000+) wireless protocols, and other technological innovations too numerous to mention. Terrestrially-based cable companies have added both telephone services and high speed internet services to their roster of service offerings. Convergent technologies continue to merge computer, telephone, and television hardware, and emerging technologies like LMDS continue to remove the boundaries between traditional communications industries and protocols.

Anticipating the logical direction in which all of these protocols are inexorably heading, SWANsat Holdings, LLC has been licensed to operate the Super-Wide Area Network System, (the “SWANsat™ System”), an innovative constellation of three high-powered geosynchronous tele­com­mun­ications satellites that will provide exponentially better telecommunications system capability worldwide than any currently-existing system.

Using the SWANsat™ System, all of the information access bandwidth needs of a user will be seamlessly integrated into a single system, including:

  • Telephone services (with no tariffs whatsoever for local, domestic long-distance, or international long-distance calls)

  • Fax services (with no tariffs whatsoever for local, domestic long-distance, or international long-distance calls)

  • VoIP-based audio teleconferencing services (with a virtually unlimited number of parties)

  • Video conferencing services (full-motion, 30 frames FPS)

  • Super-high speed internet (>1 Megabit/second)

  • Email with integrated free user web pages for individuals

  • Hundreds of educational and entertainment Direct Broadcast Service channels

  • DVD-quality video

  • CD-quality audio (both commercially-sponsored and non-commercial)

When fully deployed and operational, SWANsat™ will become the user’s single information services wireless provider: Instead of receiving a series of monthly bills totaling more than USD$215 for all of these services listed above, the user will only pay about 50% of that amount (about USD$100 per month). SWANsat™ seeks to enter the domestic and international telecommunications markets for provision of all of the above services through one ubiquitous, seamless world­wide broadband network—hence the Company’s system designator Super-Wide Area Network.

If your basic residential phone service costs about USD$30 per month, and if you have a second dedicated fax line costing about USD$15 per month, and if you have cellular service costing about USD$50 per month (with long distance charges included), and if you have high speed DSL internet access costing about USD$50 per month, and if you subscribe to about 100 cable or DBS satellite channels costing about USD$70 per month, and if you subscribe to a satellite-delivered digital audio service costing about USD$10 per month, then your total information utility bill is currently running no less than USD$225 per month.

SWANsat™ will deliver all of these services for only about USD$100.00—and maybe for less than that!

The long range goal of the Company is to ensure market acceptance of its proprietary technology, the SWANsat™ System concept. The Company’s mid-range objectives are to demonstrate that the SWANsat™ System concept can work and to increase public, governmental, and industry awareness of the Company’s technology.

Telecommunications Theaters

The SWANsat Project will place a constellation of three high-powered satellites into operation:

  • One spacecraft will serve central and east Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the central Pacific from 150° East Longitude.

  • One spacecraft will serve North, Central, and South America from 100° West Longitude.

  • One spacecraft will serve Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia from 30° East Longitude.

When operated together, all three spacecraft will provide coverage of the entire globe, except for polar areas.

The Need for Seamless Integration
of Technologies into a Single OmniSystem

Skyrocketing technology innovations and an exponentially expanding demand for telecommunications bandwidth clearly indicate that the time has come for someone to seamlessly integrate all of these technologies into one ubiquitous Omnisystem™ capable of providing user-transparent, high-capacity, interactive, on-demand telecommunications services tailored to meet the needs of communication-intensive users. SWANsat™ will be that Omnisystem™.

Summary and Conclusions

SWANsat™ will add about 12 million high-speed carpool lanes to the Information Superhighway upon commencement of its broadcast operations. SWANsat™ will assist in the promotion of leading edge technologies in both space and telecommunications, will contribute incrementally to the flow of information worldwide, and ensure effective competition among other telecommunications providers.
