Internet Radio Networks – Taking Radio Into the 21st Century!


Internet Radio Networks – Taking Radio Into the 21st Century!

Humanity today has acquired a new habit of entertaining itself. It involves clicking on an ingenious little gadget called the mouse. That’s right. In this era of the Internet, men and women everywhere are turning to their computers in increasing numbers to be entertained. The proliferation of online technologies, along with improved connectivity, cheaper hardware and increased computer literacy, has propelled the rise in popularity of the Internet in recent times.

Of all the wonderful ways that the Internet has given us to entertain ourselves, Internet radio is an extremely popular one. All one needs is a computer with an Internet connectivity to unleash the most exhaustive range of radio stations on one’s desktop at the click of the mouse. It is interesting to note that Internet radio, however, is not a very novel innovation. In other words, Internet radio networks have been around for quite a while now. It is only recently, with the proliferation of Internet technology and faster connectivity, that the phenomenon called Internet radio has truly come of age. Today, the listener is pampered with a bevy of channels (or stations), catering to specific areas of interest. This is becoming a standard feature of Internet radio networks that serve music online. The listener can tune into any of dozens of stations covering such genres as Classic Rock, Alternative Rock, Indie Rock, Jazz, 80s music, 70s music, Oldies, New Age, Reggae, Country, Latin, Euro, Ambient, Lounge, Progressive, Techno and what not. Hours and hours of uninterrupted music at no cost – that’s the magnitude of the entertainment provided by Internet radio networks.

Internet radio networks are on the rise and the reason is not hard to understand. Much of their popularity can be attributed to the huge proliferation of Internet technologies. Among the most popular Internet radio networks are the ones that feature Internet Talk Radio. Streaming talk shows and discussions on a wide range of subjects have made them popular among serious listeners or those who carve for something more than just music from their e-radios. Internet talk radio programs host various talk shows with specialists on different subject matters who anchor the show.

No matter what skeptics might say, radio refuses to go out of fashion. The radio is probably the finest innovation in aural entertainment. Internet radio networks are nothing more than old wine in a new bottle. But, on the other hand, they are also a lot more than just that! While traditional radio broadcasters have often used the Internet to advertise or promote their shows, Internet radio technology has actually revolutionized the concept and simple programming requirements have taken it to the extent where individuals, organizations or anyone for that matter, can easily host their own Internet talk radio station from the comfort of their home.

Internet radio networks like Voice America make it easier to host your own Internet talk radio show. Such Internet radio networks not only provide you with the technology to host your Internet radio show but also give you a complete package of Internet streaming media broadcasting, proven support services in web, marketing, and interactive solutions that help you to make your mark and your presence known to the ever increasing Internet audience.

Step into the exciting world of Internet radio networks. The future of radio is here!

    The best place to start is

    decide what bandwidths you need at each site based on what traffic you will know is going to come from / go to the site. i.e. Core Site, Branch Site, OUtlook mail etc etc

    Determine the topology for example you can have hub and spoke (star topology (Recommended) can be fully or partially meshed)) or a chained (ring) topology each site has one connection to its neighbour site until the last site connects back up to the first

    Determine what hardware and /or technologies you will use to connect (routers, Switches, frame relay, ATM, MPLS Ethernet etc)

    Determine IP connectivity (IP addressing etc) probably to low level for what you are after

    4 buildings 4 routers unless you are an ISP then you can put as many as you want.

    but in realitiy one router for each building.. ISP does the connection b/t the buildings not you.

    you are not building a WAN your attempting to set up VPN access. this is very easy to do. if you want more help let me know. how many people in each building?

    i'm sorry to contradict the last poster but no walmart router will "interconnect" 4 buildings. you as saying you want all 4 offices to see the same server which is in one location. we do this all the time. You want a GOOD vpn router… not a netgear or linksys but a router with some horsepower and with good SSL encryption.

    let me know if you have more questions

    Yep.. create a T1 crossover cable.

    The wiring is:

    1 — 4
    2 — 5
    4 — 1
    5 — 2

    Works like a champ! Always keep one in the lab! :D

    lan – network within your home / business

    Wan – network between you and your buddy across the country
    or the largest network know to man the web

    wan = web

    goodluck

    LANs have no latency and operate at bandwidths of 10Mbps and greater. WAN connections tend to be much less than 10Mbps and vary depending on what type of circuit you have, i.e. a T-1 is 1.5444 Mbps and the latency will vary depending on how many hops are between you and the resources you want to get to.
