Objetivo UNIC aims to study and develop efficient means to offer broadband interactive multimedia services over low-cost 2-way satellite terminals. This demands the integration of a service platform requiring detailed analysis, implementation and pilot testing.Strategic objectives are:- To contribute to implementing the eEurope Action Plan by encouraging the use of satellites as an enabler for Universal Access to triple play/interactive services.- To provide added-value services with High Quality of Service using TV-Centric architectures, enabled by high bitrate consumer contributionsThe added value of the project is to tackle technological, societal, and commercial issues arising from the new concept of 2-way interactive broadband TV-centric (in direct contrast to PC-centric) consumer services. An important aspect is to understand the needs of existing satellite TV service users who have no access to alternative services (e.g. PC/web access, videoconferencing).Scientific and technological objectives of UNIC are therefore:- To identify which services are more suitable and viable when carried by new satellite technology.- To identify, analyse and solve issues related to the provision of satellite based triple play and TV-Centric services.- To prototype adapted components and interfaces, with Lab level Assembly, Integration and test of the platform- To demonstrate the applications by a pilot phase, permitting assessment of the services and underlying technology acceptance and performance.Two key assets will result:- Research on, and evaluation of, added value services using an up-to date platform and a panel of users,- Opening of new market opportunities for service suppliers, broadcasters, satellite operators and manufacturers, equipment suppliers etc.In essence, UNIC is a scientific testbed for creation, optimisation and validation of new broadband interactive TV-centric services, delivered over satellite to actual end-users in the home.
