The Foundation: Versatile Client Software for a Variety of Devices
NC TV Navigator offers consumers a familiar, easily controlled experience of Enhanced TV programming and services that are both personalized and interactive. Navio's PopTV gives providers a way of enlivening otherwise static Internet content. Altogether, Navio's client technology ensures that the ease of use and viewing quality of Enhanced TV will meet consumer expectations. And the technology is portable and open, giving equipment manufacturers and content providers-from both the television and the Internet side-complete technical, product, and market flexibility.

Scalable Servers and an Open Service Platform
Navio's server technology scales up to a million users or more, and runs on any Web server architecture, allowing any ISP or online service to offer seamlessly integrated Internet TV with one-click access and rock-solid reliability. At the same time, the open Navio architecture means that users of products based on Navio technology are not required to use a Navio online service. So consumers are assured of having a wide range of service choices over time.

Hybrid Content for the Emerging Internet TV Market
As the programming and services development group of Network Computer, Inc., Navio Networks operates in partnership with major media and content companies from the television and Internet worlds. Navio Networks' hybrid programming for the emerging Internet TV marketplace is designed to complement the Enhanced TV offerings of other providers, ensuring that a rich selection of high-quality programming and services will be immediately available to consumers.

Hybrid Programming: What Each Viewer Wants-and More of It
Navio Networks merges online content from the World Wide Web and Internet-based services with television programming to enhance and extend viewers' experience and uses of TV and build TV communities. Based on Navio technologies, Navio Networks provides a seamless integration of Internet and television, allowing each viewer to navigate easily among a wide range of personalized and in-depth information, specialized programming, and interactive options.

What Internet TV Must Do
In order to gain widespread acceptance among consumer households, integrated Internet TV must be as easy to access, navigate, and view as television-and must "fit" as comfortably as television into living rooms and family rooms. Computers are both too expensive and too difficult to use to be welcomed on a large scale into those TV-centric entertainment spaces. That's why Navio's entire set of products and technologies for delivering Internet TV is designed not to replace the TV viewing experience, but to enhance it.
