Distributing Data to Hand-Held Devices in a Wireless Network

ADROIT is a developmental computer program for real-time distribution of complex data streams for display on Web-enabled, portable terminals held by members of an operational team of a spacecraft-command- and-control center who may be located away from the center. Examples of such terminals include personal data assistants, laptop computers, and cellular telephones. ADROIT would make it unnecessary to equip each terminal with platform-specific software for access to the data streams or with software that implements the information-sharing protocol used to deliver telemetry data to clients in the center.
