What Is GEO-NETCast?
GEO-NETCast is a real-time data dissemination system -- in support of the GEO societal benefit areas -- by which environmental satellite and in situ data, products, and services are transmitted to users through communications satellites and received on affordable receive stations.
It is one component of the overall GEOSS architecture.

Typical Receiver Station Configuration- Dedicated personal computer (~ $1000)
Data analysis and processing should be done on separate computer(s)
- Satellite antenna dish (1-3 m) (~ $300-1200)
- DTH receiver card or box (~ $200)

Today’s Live GEO-NETCast Demonstration:Two Objectives:
• End User demo:– Demonstrate the real-time reception of GEO-NETCast demo
products using the 1.2m satellite dish here at the Boeing facility and our portable receiver station
• Data provider demo:– Demonstrate the ad-hoc transmission using internet FTP of a
sample product from Seattle to the satellite uplink facility in Germany, through 3 commercial satellites for broadcast and reception back here by our receive station
