Delivery of high-bandwidth applications, enhancing school curriculums

Espresso intended to demonstrate that satellite delivery is a viable and preferable delivery system for high-bandwidth applications, which enhance curriculum delivery in the classroom. During the pilot operation Espresso ran a complete end-to-end solution, including the active participation of up to two hundred UK schools from as many as fifteen UK Local Education Authorities (LEA). The goal was to develop widespread commercial deployment to several thousand schools in the commercial development phases that followed the successful pilot operations.
