  6. MVS Ground Broadband Network Infrastructure • 3 Points Of Presence (POP) in Amsterdam, Moscow, and New York • One global APN: mvs.bgan.inmarsat.com running via both Inmarsat • Gateways in Hawaii and Burum (MVS has interconnect with Inmarsat • BGAN Network at 2 Meet-Me-Points: NY and AMS) • Customer may choose interconnect at one or more MVS POPs via VPN or • leased line(s) for various purposes such as: closed user group • arrangement, ‘end-to end’ delivery of Streaming QoS, security • reasons, supply of IP address to VDP’s customers from VDP’s own pool of • IP addresses, delivery of proprietary VAS etc.

  8. Custom APN • VDP may want to build their own real APN to deliver BGAN-family • of products and associated VDP’s service to their customers; • VDP may want to arrange a logical APN. Logical APN name will be • known to VDP’s customers, although from a technical point of view • it will work via existing MVS infrastructure. Advantages: implementation and maintenance at low cost, less time and human recourses are required. VDP will be able to offer to its customers MVS APN VAS through their logical APN, which means that end users will not notice that MVS is a party behind.

  10. MVS. Net Broadband operating platform Contents • MVS.net overview and interfaces: MVS customer view vs VDP’s customer view; • Online management tools: SIM card provisioning and status change, service management, per SIM data filters; • Monitoring tools: traffic details, Inmarsat postpaid traffic usage monitoring, subscription for MVS.net e-mail alerts on SIM activation, traffic usage, SIM card expiration and many other; • Customer Care portal; • Financial information; • Hands-on training.

  11. Interconnect with Inmarsat DBs Inmarsat BSS for BGAN-family Inmarsat ESAS Automatic synchronization Business-to-business interaction PSA 1510, 1511, Customer’s PSA, other PSA… MVS.net View data Change SIM status SIM service management Review and update MVS E&E Customers MVS BGAN-family Customers

  12. MVS customer view vs VDP’s customer view • VDP order a custom web-domain for VDP’s customer to login and access • specific data related to their SIM cards, like service details, traffic records etc. • VDP will access MVS.net web system where they will switch between VDP’s • account with MVS and VDP’s own web domain by click on DOMAINS in the top • menu.

  13. MVS.net network structure • You receive your own custom • MVS.net web-DOMAIN • Domain is your data base where • you manage accounts/SIM cards/ • web access for your customers • Your customers access your domain • to see info related to their SIM • cards: traffic details, Terminal Id • status etc.

  14. Customization of VDP’s web domain • Default areas of customization: • Logo • URL • Login page • Customer area (Welcome page) • Enable/disable any MVS.net section, e.g.: • Library • Customer Care portal • Promotions • Invoices, etc

  15. MVS.net interface

  16. SIM card traffic monitoring • Proactively control your usage • Alert VDP/end user about high usage • Block SIM card as needed (and/or other actions to re-orient • a fair usage) • Traffic monitoring system is powered by MVS.net ‘virtual • prepaid’ Broadband platform • Platform is based on account of CDR files delivered via • interconnect link between MVS.net and Inmarsat BSSs • (delivery delay is up to 15 minutes excluding Inmarsat BSS • outage instances)

  17. Traffic usage monitoring scenarios • MVS.net ‘virtual prepaid’ platform monitors traffic usage according to • a specified monitoring scenario; • Use existing scenarios or order a custom scenario according to your • needs; • Web-site tools for traffic monitoring management: - assign/detach traffic monitoring scenario to SIM with immediate effect; - review scenario settings; - review monitoring history records; - refill SIM card virtual balance; - specify e-mail addresses that receive traffic alerts

  18. Monetary monitoring scenario Monetary scenario holds following settings: • Inmarsat rate plan; • billing parameters (rates for services available on the SIM, • including all voice destinations, sms, ISDN etc); • initial balance in $$; • E-mail alert threshold; • block/unblock threshold. Example: • Specify $$ prices for voice, Background IP and • other services; • Set credit limit - $1500; • Send e-mail alerts to specified addresses when • remaining balance is below thresholds: $500, • $200, $100; • Block SIM as the balance below $50 (optional) • Unblock SIM at balance refill up to $60.

  19. Traffic based monitoring scenario Traffic based scenario holds the following settings: • Inmarsat rate plan; • Initial balance in MB; • E-mail alert limits; • block/unblock limits. Example: • Set credit limit to 500 Mbytes • Send e-mail alerts to specified addresses when • remaining balance is below thresholds: 100 MB, 50 • MB, 25 MB, 15 MB; • Block SIM as the balance drops down below 10 • Mbytes (optional); • Unblock SIM as the balance is refilled up to 15 • Mbytes.

  20. Corporate HQ Inmarsat Packet Data Network Internet Web Servers IP filters – BGAN/FBB high speed internet Up to 492 Kbit per second • Invoice shock - “Always on” FBB terminal can generate over 100 000 Mbytes per month • How to control staff-operational expenses and effectiveness?

  21. Corporate HQ MVS POP Internet Web Servers IP filters – MVS Network Firewall • Firewall prohibits unwanted traffic like: • MP3/MP4 downloads • Online radio / video • Heavy websites • Other "traffic eaters” Firewall IP firewall does not imply any financial responsibility of MVS for illegible data transmission attempts passing along the link ‘FB -> I-4 -> SAS -> MVS POP’ as these attempts are blocked at MVS POP AFTER the data has passed Inmarsat Network and has been billed by Inmarsat. However the amount of such traffic is VERY low when IP protocols other than UDP are used.

  22. How IP filters work for MVS customers • MVS Firewall works only for traffic via MVS APN • Firewall policies are ONLY applicable to Static IPs (private or public) • Black and white lists of allowed/prohibited IP addresses/ ports/IP protocols Online IP firewall management tool: • You specify a set of rules, it is stored as a template on MVS.net web site. • You assign a Static IP (Public or Private) to a SIM and apply IP firewall • template to a SIM card. • This can be done either during SIM card activation or later. • Online IP firewall management actions have immediate effect • on end user experience.

  23. Sample firewall rule sets • Full access - no limitations • HQ only access - block traffic exchange with all IP addresses • except 212.15.16.10 • Crew access - block all protocols except web and email

  24. Additional VAS • E-mail accounts and compressing FlyCarrier software • for FBB users • SQT Prepaid crew calling cards for FBB users • S_F_E– secure file exchange system • Unique complete solutions for Multimedia, Military • and Governmental Customers

  25. The Fly Carrier traffic compression software • Optimization of data transmission over IP satellite • networks • Compression up to 7 times • Fly Carrier works with @marsatmail.com e-mail • accounts registered for BGAN/FBB users free of • charge
