Moreover, KBIH serves over 2,000 SOHO users and over 30,000 one-way DVB users (in Europe and Middle East), for a total turnover of around €10M yearly. Finally, KBIH was assigned project DORY, which is a Greek public sector project of connecting thirteen (13) ministries to 1700 remote (fixed and mobile) sites. DORY is one of the biggest European satellite projects of the last decade with a total budget of €9M.



Detailed Teleport Location

KBIH owns and operates the biggest independent (privately owned) satellite teleport facility in the Balkans, in Lavrion, Greece. The Teleport was initially built in year 1999 and it was acquired by KBIH in year 2007. It has been being improved since then, while the procedure of its development is ongoing and still continues. It offers access to a series of satellites, reaching destinations in Europe, Asia, Africa and America. Moreover, the teleport offers cost-effective equipment housing for switching, multiplexing – demultiplexing and IP connectivity. The teleport is located in Lavrion Technological and Cultural Park (Latitude: 37.721 North, Longitude: 24.044 East, Magnetic declination: 3° 37' EAS). It is located near the city of Lavrion, Attica. Lavrion is located 38 kilometers away from the center of Athens.

The antennas area is split into two plateaus with an altitude difference of 10 meters. Four (4) containers for indoor equipment are also present (2 on each plateau).

Antennas Area

Offices and Control Center Area

Between the two existing plateaus, there exists a building where electrical power control, alarm and access controls and IFL cabling is concentrated. In this indoor area, there also exists 1,000 sq. m. rack space facility (in addition and above to the four (4) containers rack space. IFL cabling between the antenna areas and the IP feed area (inside the offices & control center area) is done through fiber links. IF-70 MHz, IF-140 MHz, L-band, Ku, Ka-band and data connections are being implemented (according to each case needs) between the antenna and the offices & control area. Thirty-two (32) fiber connections are available between the two areas, allowing for 32 independent projects installation. More fiber links can be easily laid between the two areas. The path between the areas is owned and operated by KBIH. Distance between the proposed indoor equipment area (existing building) and the outdoor area is 36m.

Satellite visibility The teleport area has been chosen so that there are no physical or artificial obstacles towards the equatorial arc. In the figure below, south view of the teleport (taken from Google Earth, with an altitude exaggeration multiplier of 2) is shown, together with 120 degrees and 240 degrees azimuth lines. The only potential obstacle (a hilltop at the southwest corner of the figure) is at elevation of 3 degrees. Thus, the site has whole equatorial arc visibility of 3 degrees and above.

Rainfall Greek climate is typically dry and sunny, with only two (2) actual winter months (December and January). Lavrion (according to ITU-R) has a mean rain rate exceeding 27mm/h for 0.01% of the year. Below is a climate graph of the Attica region, incorporating data of the last 20 years. According to the graph, mean daily rainfall in the months of December and January slightly exceeds 60 mm, and is much less for the rest of the months.

Geotechnical Environment Although Greece is generally prone to earthquakes, the area of Lavrion is not included in the areas requiring special measures. No major earthquakes (more than 4 degrees on the Richter scale) have been recorded in the past 100 years in the area.



Thus, Lavrion is included in Zone-I (least dangerous) of anti-seismic design according to Greek legislation. Moreover, the teleport area is rocky, a fact that ensures maintenance of steady physical alignment and makes structures less subject to damages in the rare case of an earthquake.

Inter facility Link

Interconnection between the outdoor and indoor area (waveguide, coax, power and ground), is done in two ways: either overhead raceways or underground paths. Distance between indoor equipment facilities and the outdoor antennas will be below 40 m. The Indoor cables has been installed in the cable trays under the computer room floor Different paths are being used for power cables, RF cables and data cables.



Support

The Teleport is staffed with experienced operations, utility, RF and Network engineering personnel. Operations staff comprises of engineers that are available 24x7X365. The Teleport is constantly manned, while –at least‐ a second engineer is always on‐call. During working hours, the teleport is manned by –at least‐ 10 engineers, while total engineering and technical teleport personnel consist of fifteen (15) people. KBIH can offer hands‐on any level maintenance support as needed 24X7X365. Typical resolution times do not exceed 30 minutes, as per internal company procedures, according to company certification. KBIH during the contract period will provide the schedule maintenance activity in accordance with Manufacturer’ guideline and cleaning and servicing of Gateway and BB equipment as per Manufacturers guideline. During such activities, KBIH shall not prevent the service from continuing to operate on the satellite.

Sample photographs of already installed racks are shown below.

Rack Area



Rack rows are 1m apart in distance allowing for front and rear access. More than 500 square meters of space are available for rack installation, thus, relevant provisions of space can be made before the rack delivery and installation. KBIH common practice is that racks are ventilated from above while cabling is done under raised floor and entering the racks from bottom. However, any suitable solution can be mutually agreed and implemented.

Power (AC/DC)

We provide all standard main voltage (low and high) such as 120/230 V AC 50 Hz and 48 V DC are being provided in all outdoor and indoor areas.

UPS

KBIH operates a fully redundant computer‐grade power system and guarantees constant electrical power. Central power supply is through Greek Electrical Company at 3 X 360 Amps input. Although utility feeder is single (as is the case in Greece), power company substation is installed inside KBIH premises, ensuring immediate support from Electrical Company. A power generator of 450KVA with 600 liters petrol reserve offers 24 hours of autonomy at the present Teleport equipment layout. For all outdoor and indoor RF equipment there is a second 500 KVA generator 500KVA 1600 liters reserve of petrol, capable to provide more than 50 hours of autonomy. Current UPS layout consists of one 120 KVA with auto switch that provides 4 hours of autonomy witch is used in the NOC area and two (2) 200 KVA UPSs (also auto‐switched) offering 4 hours of autonomy. Surge protection and ground is, of course, provided on all equipment, while there is lightning and surge protection on all antennas. Tests and maintenance of generators are performed monthly according to written procedures.



Adequate enclosure cooling and HVAC

Indoor area environment is being kept constantly at 20 degrees Celsius and 50% humidity using advanced redundant (N+1) air conditioning equipment.

Terrestrial frequencies interference

There are no other teleports in the area neither exist any such plans. There are no microwave links or other electromagnetic field sources. There is no industrial activity in the area.



Electrical Ground

Our Teleport has the necessary electrical grounding system according the local and National Electrical Code (NEC). The lightning grounding system create impedance to ground less than 1 ohm

Internet access

KBIH Internet IP is at its Point-of-Presence in Med Nautilus interconnection exchange center, in Athens, Greece. Currently, KBIH is connected to PCCW Global and Seabone IP Backbone with a fully redundant IP feed connectivity, while choice of new or alternate providers and bandwidth upgrade requests can be promptly served. The Med Nautilus is connected to the KBIH teleport through two (2) diverse STM-64 circuits (thus, offering full connectivity of multiple 10G interfaces). One is through OTE (Greek PTT) infrastructure, the other being through alternative providers. Both connections are dual-entrance and dual-homed at a full available capacity of STM-64 each.
