| Abstract: | TOMAS is an R&D-project within the EU-funded ACTS Programme. The main objective of the TOMAS project is to realise a Satellite-UMTS trial platform (testbed) for multimedia services with data rates up to 2 Mbit/s using existing geostationary satellites and to evaluate and enhance this inter-trial platform in Joint Trials with co-operating ACTS and non-ACTS projects. With the TOMAS service and application trials being performed before the introduction of UMTS and before further development of its satellite component, its results, including assessment of user requirements and user acceptance as well as system performance, can be used to improve the design of satellite services and systems complementing UMTS.
