RE: [WISPA] FM Remote Broadcast over Wireless (RBOW ?)
We have a radio station streaming from mutually collocated tower across our backhaul. The backhaul is running Star-OS on War Boards. We had a few issues when they were streaming direct from the tower to their clients. They now send one stream to an offsite server which then serves their clients from a more stable connection. I assume it is in a datacenter on fiber. They blocked access to the collocated streamer from all IP's except the server address. This way they are only running one stream instead of dozens. It is an AM station. You can listen to it at http://www.wadm.com/. Enjoy if you like country music.

The radio station that I get space from was ready to do that from one of the DJ's houses in my coverage area. I agree with your thoughts below. The tough part for me (and why I eventually talked them out of the idea) is that our noise levels and competition competence levels are not conducive to perfect service in the area in question. But sure, it should work just fine as long as all other parameters normally stay normal!

Jeromie, Don't know budget or bitrate but I'll pass the Winamp/Shoutcast suggestion along. THANKS! jack Jeromie Reeves wrote: What is the budget on this? Does it need to be stereo or high bitrate? 2 PC's with sound cards running winamp/shoutcast would do it. A network MP# player + shoutcast would do it and so could a network stereo extender.

You could just convert to an IP stream and then convert back Dan Metcalf Wireless Broadband Systems www.wbisp.com 781-566-2053 ext 6201 1-888-wbsystem (888) 927-9783 [EMAIL PROTECTED] support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Unger Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 12:30 PM To: wireless@wispa.org Subject: [WISPA] FM Remote Broadcast over Wireless (RBOW ?)

Re: [WISPA] FM Remote Broadcast over Wireless (RBOW ?)
Hi Jack,TheseareknownasStudioTransmitterLinks, and we've planned a few for our local radio conglomerates as the licensed 950 MHz STL space is rapidly melting down (who'd ever guess there could be so much interference in a licensed band!). Unlicensed is fine in many cases, but butanycommercialstationwithadvertisingdollarsatstakeshould look at licensed links and definitely needs fast-failovertoISDN,DSL,etc with adaptive codecs. Contact me off-list for more.Best,-- Dylan OliverPrimaverity, LLC -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
Re: [WISPA] FM Remote Broadcast over Wireless (RBOW ?)
Not sure what software they are using, but I provide a backup STL for a local FM station over my wireless network. I know they are running PCs on both ends and a proprietary software package on the PCs. If you need more information let me know and I'll ask the station manager.
