Data Casting
Datacasting involves one-to-many (or multicast)
dissemination of data. The data itself could
be files (of any format) including web pages.
Data to be uplinked to a WorldSpace satellite
is first aggregated at the WorldSpace studio
or is presented in a suitable format by the content
contributor to the uplink site or Hub. Subsequently,
an advanced scheduling mechanism at the Hub schedules
the content for distribution via a WorldSpace satellite. Datacasting is
the preferred way of disseminating information
amongst closed user groups.
The WorldSpace Datacasting
solution is also ideal for disseminating e-newsletters,
e-magazines, e-books and other electronic periodicals.
Datacasting in the specific context of the web,
wherein, the multimedia content pertaining to
a set of pre-determined web sites is fetched
on a periodic basis and pushed to specific user
groups is called WebCasting. WebCasting is an
effective method of providing auxiliary educational
content to supplement regular instructional material
while simultaneously ensuring that unwanted and
inappropriate content on the Internet is kept
beyond reach of the students.

IP Multicasting
IP Multicasting is the distribution of contents
files of any format, web pages or streaming data
simultaneously to multiple locations. WorldSpace's IP
Multicasting solution provides a web-like user
interface for uploading the content to the uplink
site and setting up the transmission. The recipients
of the information are individually addressable
and specific to each session of the transmission.
The transmission features state of the art encryption
and selectable level of Forward Error Correction.
Also, each WorldSpace receiver
is equipped with a data port that transforms
it into a wireless modem able to download data
to personal computers at rates of up to 128kbps.

Net2Radio
Net2Radio is a one-way based e-mail application that closes communication gaps.
This application allows an Internet based user to send a 255 character e-mail
message via the Internet to a single WorldSpace recipient or group of WorldSpace
recipients within the Asiastar and Afristar coverage area who are not on
the Internet. The recipient will receive the text message via a WorldSpace receiver
interfaced to a personal computer (PC). The end user will automatically prompt
to view the e-mail once received through the PC’s notepad application.

Distance Learning Technology
(CLASS)
CLASS (Combined Live Audio and Slide Show) is an innovative solution developed
specifically to address Distance Education requirements in developing countries.
It uses live satellite broadcasting to deliver synchronous and asynchronous eLearning
content beyond the reach of Internet, telephone lines and mail delivery. It supports
live lectures based on PowerPoint® presentations with the possibility of
real-time annotations. If the student’s location has Internet access it
is also possible to raise a question in a text-chat mode during the class itself.
The answers to the questions are delivered through the audio channel thereby
benefiting all the listeners. CLASS extends the reach of the “best” teachers
to virtually everywhere. It is unique in that CLASS is a cost-effective merge
of content creation and delivery. It uses the WorldSpace broadcast infrastructure
to provide for error free digital transmission of presentations, lesson plans
and other multimedia materials.
