In broadcast and production, true innovation rarely comes from a single breakthrough. It emerges when multiple vendors, disciplines, and technologies align around a shared vision. For Telos Alliance, that vision has always centered on open standards, interoperability, and empowering broadcasters with tools that let them focus on creativity rather than complexity. That’s exactly why we’ve committed ourselves to the [MXL initiative](https://tech.ebu.ch/dmf/mxl).

This year, we celebrate 20 years of 25-Seven Systems, and some first-person reflections are in order to tell the story of a little company that has had a profound impact on the broadcast industry. Like most company biographies, this one is really about a group of people who came together to build first one thing, then another, setting off on a path that eventually led to our forever home as part of Telos Alliance. What held it together wasn’t a single genius or a big pile of money, but the creativity and personal glue of a self-selected team.

In the wintertime, humidity levels plummet as temperatures drop and forced air heating systems dry the air out even more. During these months we are extra conscious of electrostatic discharge. Many will make a habit of grounding themselves to a doorknob or rack case before touching any controls in the studio, so as to avoid zapping the electronics with static electricity.

When winter gives way to warmer weather, thunderstorms and line surges present a new threat to our precious technology. Broadcast engineers take steps to protect their mains power inputs with spike suppressors and surge protectors. These devices can help, but can only do so much with the extremely fast transient swings in voltage that are observed during these events. There are also threats that are not so obvious.

What if you could transmit fifteen radio program channels from one FM transmitter, and receive them on existing FM-HD radios? Philipp Schmid, Research Engineer at Nautel, has been demonstrating exactly that. How does it work, and why might a broadcaster want to do this?  Philipp joins Chris Tobin and Kirk Harnack to explain.
