Thank you for your interest in our narrow-cast technology.It is a server based system which can narrow-cast through the regular telephone system, wired or wireless, multi-media information: sound, motion pictures and data all at the same time to simple client machines at the receiving end. The client machine can be as simple as a TV set equiped with a low cost gaming machine, or a PDA such as a Newton or a palm-top.
The system has been successfully used in North America for community-commerce support for applications such as media events, sporting events, promotional campaigns,distance leaning and training, medical info., etc.
It a low cost system and does not need any special hardware at the client end or at the narrow-cast end: only regular web-type components are needed and only the very lowest cost versions.
We are now ready to look for regional partners throughout the world to offer this type of service in each community.
A somewhat more complete system can also be connected to the Web for international commerce.
