Abstract

The invention relates to a network architecture for delivering multimedia content inside an enclosed space, including at least P (P≥1) client devices (C1, C2) distributed in the enclosed space and interconnected by means of a wireless link (F'). Each device includes means for storing at least part of the content and an indexing table containing position and content information, the connection between the client devices being managed with UWB (ultra wideband) technology. The invention is particularly suitable for in-flight entertainment.
