THE IP WAY TO HEAR FROM THERE
One network in New Zealand, PungaNet, blazed this trail in
2009 by connecting some 25 radio stations in different cities
and towns around the country. Their multi-channel system,
based on the Telos iPort, allows for one-to-one sharing, oneto-a-few
distribution, or one-to-all coverage. Ad hoc networking
is easy, too, as stations share talent, programs, and air-time
across the network.
A legacy broadcast network in the U.S. is connecting remote
talent in New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and London
with editing and production studios over both their corporate
WAN and the public Internet. High-quality audio along with IFB,
tally lighting, and intercom uses the same IP connectivity,
saving money and keeping the connections simple.
IWI RADIO MAP
A well-known French broadcaster is connecting Paris and
Bordeaux for show talent, voice-over, and commercial production.
A Telos iPort in each city provides eight bi-directional,
low-latency stereo connections, plus GPIO signaling.
A multi-language European broadcaster recently employed
IP-audio to keep hundreds of programs on-air, with no interruption
while moving studio operations to a new building.
