Issues for Consideration • Practical Strategic Political • Infrastructure Integration Collaboration • Technical Services Perception
The University of Plymouth • Dispersed across SW region • Over 20,000 students, 3000 staff • 6 Faculties + Postgraduate Medical School • 6 Main teaching centres • 12 Study centres (Institute of Health Studies) • Over 20 partner colleges • 40 RATIO centres
The Satellite Uplink • 10 years experience • Analogue, MPEG1 MPEG2 • European Space Agency • Research, Education, Training • Live digital TV, data broadcast • 2-way data small VSAT
Quiz time for a special prize How much does it cost the University of Plymouth to rent one hour of Eutelsat transponder time for digital TV/data transmission to Europe?
Integrated Delivery: Satellite and Terrestrial Networks • Services: voice, video, data • Bandwidth requirements Mbps • Bandwidth symmetry requirements • Synchronous and asynchronous • Interaction and interruption • Broadcast and point-to-point • Quality, access and cost
Current Satellite Use • RATIO regional telematics centres • IHS health care students • TETRASUR surgeon MRCS in hospitals • ADAPT through RATIO • EURONET • ADAPT UFI • BNSC low cost VSAT, 2-way internet
Current Satellite Use • RATIO regional telematics centres • IHS health care students • TETRASUR surgeon MRCS in hospitals • ADAPT through RATIO • EURONET • ADAPT UFI • BNSC low cost VSAT, 2-way internet
Experiences using Satellite • Capital costs and line rental charges • Planning permission, advance booking • Implications for scale-up • Overcoming barriers to networking • Breaking down barriers, traditions • Security, reliability, satisfaction • Perception - synchronous activity
Potential for Development • Transferability - other regions, EU, world • New technologies - ADSL, PowerLine • Live interactive TV lectures • Videoconferencing • Data broadcast services • VSAT 2-way data services • Role of TERENA
Quiz: How much?
Answer: 400 EURO
