and in remote places and to provide the Internet service
to their clients through an intelligent bandwidth
management algorithm that limits the bandwidth used
by the clients and that assures bandwidth availability for
enterprise communication at all times.

SAGAN project is freeing the booking operator from
deciding which are the best transmission plans to fulfil
the user requests and obtain a good utilisation of
satellites' resources. Thus, the human intervention will
be reduced drastically and an improvement of the
booking system will be achieved.
T@HIS is a telemedical network connecting
physicians and hospitals over a new-generation satellite
network based on the recently launched AmerHis
payload on the AMAZONAS satellite. Within the project

have been connected to a referral hospital in Porto
Alegre. The dominant type of images transferred over
the system is ultrasound images, acquired from portable
or stationary ultrasound devices.
The Workflow and Broadcast Tools product allows broadcasters to improve efficiency and reduce costs by digitising content and providing a number of significant production benefits, before the transmission process.

implement a dual use network (commercial and
emergency management uses) which is ready at all
times to immediately respond to the requirements of a
crisis or failure of terrestrial connections. A number of
specific hardware and software features will be
developed, typical user configurations built and a pilot
network operated.
The Remote Community Services
Telecentre (RCST) is a satellite based, shared-use
facility (telecentre) that is implemented in remote
communities to provide telelearning, telehealth, small
business and rural development, communications and
information access services. RCST would become a
shared resource for a community or region, a common
point through which a variety of services should be
concentrated for cost effective service delivery.
SkyNurse intends to develop an operating
centre for the delivery of distance education and
residential courses directed at nursing personnel in non-
EU countries in order to employ the trained personnel in
