Leading the way in data enhanced digital broadcasting, Triveni Digital today introduced a new solution for the secure data broadcasting of emergency services network information. The SkyScraper™ Emergency Services Network (ESN) solution provides reliable, secure, timely and efficient distribution of disaster alerts, training materials and operational communications to emergency responders. SkyScraper ESN delivers information over any broadcast or multicast medium, and is particularly well suited to satellite, cable, and digital terrestrial transmission systems. The system will be showcased in Triveni Digital’s booth #1300 at the Satellite 2006 trade show February 7-9, 2006.

An end-to-end communications network system, SkyScraper ESN meets the needs of Homeland Security, emergency management, police, fire, health, and other public safety agencies and uses encryption of content during transmission to ensure security. SkyScraper ESN is equally applicable for local, state, regional, and national agencies. 

“It’s critical to get accurate and timely information to agencies responding to an emergency. We designed SkyScraper ESN to be a 24/7 communications system that can support multiple methods of information distribution. Public Broadcast Stations can take advantage of the SkyScraper ESN solution to provide critical data and information services to their local public safety agencies. Simultaneously, satellite TV operators can augment their broadcasts and provide information and services to regional or nation-wide emergency communications systems,” said Mark Simpson, President and CEO of Triveni Digital. “We invite any broadcaster or agency who is thinking of building an emergency alert network to contact us.” 

SkyScraper ESN Solution Designed to Deliver Timely Information to Multiple Public Safety Agencies

The flexibility and scalability of the SkyScraper ESN solution allows each agency within a specified communications network to have a back-office site, where content is prepared and scheduled for insertion into the DTV broadcast stream. The solution delivers information to end user sites such as police stations, fire stations, and hospitals. 

Toolkits within the SkyScraper product family can create custom applications for information delivery and viewing. Communication networks can be designed for simultaneous use by multiple public safety agencies. Samples of information which may be transmitted through the SkyScraper ESN includes
· Emergency alerts
· Information tickers and bulletins
· Weather reports and forecasts (including lake/river)
· Radar maps and satellite images
· Calendar of events and shift assignments
· Training videos, slide shows, CDs and DVDs
· Equipment manuals
· Operational procedures and forms and
· Live video feeds.

Information is broadcast to the targeted receiver sites in the form of files and stored on-site for instant display and access as needed. Skyscraper ESN also supports broadcast of live video and play-out of stored videos from play-lists, digital signage style. Users may access all this information via TV-style remote control or wireless keyboard and mouse. 

SkyScraper ESN is available today. A presentation is available upon request.
