Streaming infrastructure for radio and digital broadcast platforms

Industry

Media & Broadcasting

Challenge

Each radio brand's website, live stream and content were managed separately, and performance suffered during peak listening hours.

Solution

We owned the software, configuration and optimisation of the streaming applications, and built shared REST web services and MS SQL-based management tools for all brands.

Scope

• Software, configuration and optimisation of the live streaming applications
• Shared web services for the brands
• Management interfaces

Process

• Review of the broadcast flows and the peak-hour performance issues
• Design of the shared platform
• Moving the brands onto the new platform in stages

Result

The brands moved to web and mobile channels fed by a single platform, making it much easier to launch a new broadcast brand.
