Sat-n-Surf aims to take the results of
Sat@Once, a previous ARTES 3 project, and enhance it
with additional tools and means to become a full-sized
new broadcasting medium, on a par with popular radio
or television. Through the Casablanca technology, Sat-n-
Surf exploits the broadcasting capability of the satellite
to transmit the same information to all listeners. This
approach is the opposite to the familiar point-to-point
approach (unicast) of the Internet, where data goes
from one source to only one destination. Sat-n-Surf acts
as a "virtual matchmaker". On the local PC of the user
the application, a "Magic Mirror" runs that matches
together the personal interests of any given user and
profiles of the content that is sent by satellite. The
Magic Mirror "catches" all the information of the day that
may be of interest to his master.
Some main objectives of developing the bypass switch are to avoid US export licenses, limit inspection costs and shorten the procurement lead time by having a European manufacturer.

This project provides end-users who have
standard UMTS terminals with new exciting services
through satellite based multicasting of multimedia
content to Base Stations of cellular networks. The
integration between UMTS access technology and
satellite IP broadcasting requires the insertion, in each
base station necessary for UMTS coverage, of a
parabolic satellite antenna and an equipment box able
to adapt satellite transmission stream to the suitable
UMTS channel. The box is interconnected through the
appropriate open UMTS interfaces to the network, in
order to allow the UMTS operator to manage the offered
services.
The "Multi-PID" project has developed and
demonstrated a state-of-the-art, fully automated system to allow multiple DVB broadcast satellite channels to be
filtered, processed and monitored in order to supply
content playout information to be reported back to the
content owners. The Multi-PID platform provides a
comprehensive and cost-effective method of monitoring
all of the main European broadcast channels, which is
far more efficient than a pan-European terrestrial
monitoring network.
eWave VideoServer is an interactive telelearning
system based on MHP. It is especially designed
to educate operators of highly complex technical
equipment. Operators will be able to work with the
technical equipment by using the simulated user
interface on the TV. A high quality video image provides
a detailed view of the equipment. Direct connection of
sensors allows visualisation of the main parameters on
the TV screen. Through the standard IP return channel
it is possible to interact with the equipment and to
simulate failure situations, enable failure identification
and perform recovery actions.

Wired Ocean's objective is to significantly
improve the availability of internet access from ships at
sea. Compared to existing systems the Wired Ocean
system has the potential to increase internet access
speeds by a factor of ten and to reduce costs by 70% to
90%. The chosen technology is a 'hybrid' of broadband
Ku-band satellites for the downlink and narrowband
mobile satellites (or cellular) for the uplink. A specialised
client server is developed (the Wired Ocean Satellite
Broadband Server) to manage the communications
sessions at the ship end. The server interfaces to a
tracking TV receive only (TVRO) antenna to receive the
downlink and to a narrowband terminal for the uplink.
EDIBS® is a DVB-compliant technology of
embedded content transmission, partly based on MHP. It
works with most MHP-compliant set-top boxes equipped
with a hard disk without any hard- or software
adaptations. The combination of embedded content
enables broadcasters to embed additional video clips of
an unlimited size and in broadcast quality into their TV
programme without requiring additional transmission
bandwidth. Once additional content is transmitted, it is
received and managed by the MHP-compliant EDIBS
client application. The broadcaster defines the criteria
for viewers to be able to make use of this additional
content.
The EODIS network and services are
being developed with the aim to disseminate the large
amount of EO products coming from the Ground
Segments of several Acquisition Stations. This will
establish a complete end-to-end data distribution
service over a satellite link complemented by a
terrestrial network (Internet) used to transfer protocol
control messages.
The IHT Lift Channel system enables
multimedia clips for any purpose to be assembled and
then simultaneously transmitted via satellite to any
number of remote locations across Europe. The content,
distributed via satellite, is then presented on screens
within the client building. This may include a lift
compartment. Any kind of media can be displayed from
moving video with audio, to still pictures and graphics.
The system can be used for advertising purposes and
many different applications such as information sharing,
the provision of safety information and topical news
relevant to a particular organisation.
