General
The main advantages of providing commercial DAB+ over IP networks for your business are:
- Scalability of the transport network
- Availability of different transport options (Provider)
- Flexibility of adding and deactivating lines
- Transparent transport platform by standardized technology (from Studio to Transmitter)
- Lower costs compared to other transmission technologies (E1, radio line network, Satellite uplink)
- Simple implementation
Highlights
Our DAB+ over IP solutions implement a range of special transmission technologies:
- Forward error correction: enables reconstruction of lost data packets, avoids audio dropouts
- Dual streaming [optional]: double transmission over different transmission routes protects against complete line failures
- Packet reordering: incoming data packets are sorted into original order if the IP network swaps them
- Data spreading/reordering [optional]: time scrambling of data packets over a defined period to protect the stream like a swarm against transmission failures
- Seamless switching: automatic seamless switch to a second incoming stream if the main stream fails for some reason
- Satellite backup*: automatic switch to the satellite backup if the main stream fails for some reason
* Seamless switching available as an option
Our special transmission technologies deliver these system advantages:
- Reliable / high available DAB+ transmission over standard IP lines
- Compliance with existing standards
- Harmonic integration into DAB+ distribution infrastructure over satellite
- Independence from individual existing/future transmitter developments
- Additional redundancy by creating a second distribution path
- Ability to reach any remote area (with additional satellite distribution)
