Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus is disclosed for receiving and providing an aggregate video feed on a mobile platform. The apparatus can include a receiver configured to receive a mobile digital television signal. A file assembler is configured to provide a broadcast media stream and at least one media file from the mobile video television signal. A media library stores the at least one media file. A media player configured to selectively retrieve the at least one media file from the media library, to construct an aggregate video feed from the retrieved at least one media file and the broadcast media stream, and to output the aggregate video feed.

Abstract: An asymmetric wireless network (100) includes a first base station (104) including a RF transceiver (208) having a first transmission range, a first transmit data rate, and a first coverage area. The wireless network also includes a second base station (106) comprising a RF transmitter (210) having a second transmission range, a second transmit data rate, and a second coverage area. In the wireless network, the second transmit data rate is greater than the first transmit data rate, the first and the second transmission ranges are substantially equal, and the first and the second coverage areas at least partially overlap. The wireless network also includes at least one computer network (108) communicatively coupling the base stations, configured for generating transmit data in response to a data request received at the first base station, and configured for routing the transmit data to the first or the second base station for transmission.

Abstract: An antenna system is presented herein. This includes an electrically conductive vertical mast radiator. A plurality of top loading electrically conductive wires extend from the radiator. Each wire has an inner end electrically connected to the radiator and an outer end located away from the radiator. The electrical length from the radiator to the outer end of each wire is adjustable to vary the operating frequency of the antenna system.
