Abstract
A broadband multimedia data distribution system that integrates satellite broadband data derived from a satellite feed that is distributed over a cable TV network with a legacy corporate local area network. The system provides a broadband network overlay with satellite data delivery that integrates with currently available cable television transmission media. The system thus integrates broadband multimedia data distribution, cable TV network distribution, and the legacy network to expand corporate information services. The system thus expands existing network capabilities and avoids replacement or upgrade costs.
