Abstract: The present invention relates generally to systems, methods and software applications for securely transmitting information. More particularly, the present invention relates to providing a system, method and software application for securely transmitting information using multiple transmission methods. An exemplary method of the present invention comprises the steps of: providing data for transmission to a recipient; selecting and addressing a first set of data for transmission to said recipient via a first transmission method, and selecting and addressing a second of data for transmission to said recipient via a second transmission method.

Abstract: A terrestrial radio system for delivering to consumers data transmission services, Internet services, two-way capabilities and single-channel or multi-channel video programming, including national, regional and local television broadcast signals, as well as an apparatus and method thereof. The terrestrial radio system transmits terrestrial signals at satellite-allocated frequencies while mitigating interference with satellite signals to reuse satellite-allocated frequencies.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to monitoring a predetermined area to protect against intrusion by trespassers and the like. An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a security system that provides detecting the presence of an intruder in a predetermined area or a plurality of predetermined areas; and communicating via satellite signals to a processing center the detection of the presence of the intruder in the predetermined area or in one or more of the plurality of predetermined areas; wherein the satellite signals encode data alerting the processing center to the presence of said intruder in said predetermined area or said one or more of the plurality of predetermined areas.

Abstract: The present invention relates to one- or two-way Direct-To-Home (DTH) satellite communications systems which broadcast high bit rate wideband television and multimedia content to user terminals located within a desired coverage area and, more specifically, a single or multi-transponder Direct-To-Home satellite communications system in which a high bit rate wideband data stream is comprised of real-time, statistically multiplexed information and non-real-time information that is transmitted to a subscriber media gateway device for storage and later-use. The user terminal contains a specially designed receiving system and may contain a transmitter for transmission of a return data channel to the Broadcast Center.
