Everybody likes a feel-good broadcasting story, right? Well, here's an inspiring story about a young man from Romania who built his own studio full of Telos Alliance gear at the age of only 19! From a dream of owning his own Axia console since he was 11, he found a way to make that dream a reality. The best part is, he saved up the money to make it happen all by himself. Here's his story.

Quarantined radio and TV audiences are demanding more and more from broadcasters in terms of audio quality; audiences want sounds as clear and consistent as the pictures they see on screen. And so it was that Hope Media, one of Kenya’s largest Christian broadcast networks, sought to update their FM radio and digital TV on-air sound.

Nicklas Strömberg runs the company NSP in Sweden. In this short video, Nicklas gives two examples of applications in which the Telos Alliance Omnia MPX Node saves the day. One helps eliminate RF noise and re-broadcast defects, and the other dramatically reduces network bandwidth requirements. 

Broadcasters have several options for feeding audio to their FM translators. One new option is the Omnia MPX Node, sending the fully processed Composite (MPX) stereo signal over modest IP links. Here's a quick look at a small FM translator with bit-perfect digital audio provided by the Omnia MPX Node. At the originating station, the OmniaSST FM processor prepares the audio, then encodes the Composite MPX signal using Omnia µMPX technology. Transported by Public Internet, this µMPX IP stream arrives at the translator site and is decoded by an Omnia MPX Node. It's output is a perfectly clean and fully processed FM MPX signal for the transmitter's MPX input.

Broadcasters expect five 9's of uptime for their on-air signals, and that implies even higher reliability from each part of the air chain. As we shift to IP connections for our signal chains, we must plan for reliability there, as well. Dual-path IP connections are a proven way to obtain virtually perfect uptime. Now Omnia MPX Nodes offer dual-path IP connectivity right out of the box.

In these turbulent times, keeping the FM airwaves free of offensive material is more important than ever before. Media Max, one of Kenya’s largest broadcast networks needed a robust, networkable profanity-delay solution to keep the content on their six radio stations free of questionable or profane content.
