Streaming Around Your School Network

When most people think of streaming, they think about web based radio stations, but streaming technology actually has another really important application for School Radio.

Traditionally, if you wanted to distribute your radio stations to key areas in your school, you would need to employ a company to install a network of speakers which can be very costly and disruptive. This type of system is also difficult to expand or alter in the future.

Streaming technology presents a very appealing alternative. Why not stream your radio station around your schools network using the IP infrastructure (i.e. your computer network) that is already in place.

This would allow you to:

  • Distribute audio around your school using existing infrastructure.
  • Your radio station would be available on every PC and MAC.
  • Your radio may be accessible by interactive white-boards.
  • Play audio through speakers in key areas (using streaming decoders).
  • Flexible, expandable audio distribution system.

The diagram below shows a typical setup.
