Provision of wideband services up to the final user anywhere is a challenging task for terrestrial technologies unless the satellite is included as an essential system component. This objective is even more difficult to be met if at least a limited degree of user interactivity and mobility is required. Satellite multimedia applications will require wide bandwidths, high degree of flexibility on-board and intelligence at terminal level. The combined use of Ka band (20-30 GHz) and EHF (in the range 40-45 GHz) can extend interactive multimedia and personal services to ubiquitous and mobile users. This paper dis cusses the main interactive multimedia services and applications that may be provided via satellite. Particularly, it describes a new project, the "SECOMS project", that is under way in the framework of a programme of the European Union. The paper provides some indications on the main SECOMS assumptions and requirements, and system design elements. |
