20110028086 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENABLING ULTRA SMALL APERTURE COMMUNICATION ANTENNA USING SPECTRAL REPLICATION AND COHERENT FREQUENCY AND PHASE COMBINING - A satellite communications system has a hub terminal which communicates with a remote terminal through a satellite. The hub terminal | 02-03-2011 |
20110028087 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENABLING ULTRA SMALL APERTURE COMMUNICATION ANTENNA USING SPECTRAL REPLICATION AND COHERENT FREQUENCY AND PHASE COMBINING - A system for enabling use of ultra-small aperture terminals in satellite communications is provided. The system comprises a transmitter configured to receive an input signal having information, a bandwidth, and an amplitude, replicate the input signal into two or more replications of the input signal, convert each of the two or more replications to have a frequency tuned to two or more corresponding satellite transponders while maintaining the bandwidth and all the information of the input signal, and combine the two or more replications into a single uplink signal. A transmit antenna is configured to transmit the uplink signal to the two or more satellite transponders. | 02-03-2011 |

20120185783 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ZERO LATENCY BROWSING - A system replicates Internet websites on a large number of user computers having browsers. The system includes a gateway platform having a gateway server and a cache. In the broadcast mode, the gateway server periodically or continuously images broadcast data (e.g., popular websites), compresses the website images, and stores the compressed website images in the gateway cache. The gateway server then broadcasts all of the compressed broadcast data to all (millions) of the user computers over a broadcast device (such as a satellite), for subsequent display by the user in the browser. In the unicast mode, the user requests unicast data (e.g., less-popular websites or websites having highly user-customized information) at the browser. The gateway server images that one web page, compresses the unicast data, and transmits the compressed unicast data over the broadcast device substantially in real time to the one requesting user computer. | 07-19-2012 |

20130038678 | VIDEO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OVER SATELLITE - A videoconference system has videoconference terminals which communicate with a centralized station over satellite. Video signals from each videoconference terminal are unicast to the centralized station via satellite. The centralized station forms a composite signal of all the video signals multicasts the composite signal to the local videoconference terminals over satellite that can be received by hundreds, thousands or more recipients. The system dynamically allocates satellite bandwidth and other network resources to establish a high definition videoconference call on demand. A frequency allocation manager manages the resources available on the satellite network according with the capacity of each transponder and network resources available. It administrates the resources available and dynamically assigns a satellite capacity and network resources. | 02-14-2013 |

20140038515 | HIGH THROUGHPUT SATELLITE - A high throughput satellite including a transponder configured to receive radio wave signal from a market area, transmit the signal to a hub, receive a response signal from the hub, and transmit both the original signal and the response signal back to the market area. The satellite may also provide increased throughput by re-using spectrum in the Ka band. The satellite may also include a payload architecture which may be reconfigured such that, in response to control signals received from the ground, the payload architecture provides satellite communications to a first market area, a second market area, or both the first market area and the second market area. | 02-06-2014 |
