Is AOL Radio Going To Cause The Extinction Of FM Radio?

Online radio services such as AOL Radio, Pandora, Slacker and Last.fm have become rather popular lately and are even available on many portable wireless devices such as cell phones. Does this mean the end of traditional radio stations? I will look at the impact of streaming radio on the radio landscape.

I appears that local radio stations are on their way to become extinct. They are being threatened by the advance of online and satellite radio. These competing services typically offer hundreds of music and entertainment channels. Some of the channels are even commercial-free. The internet has enabled access to a virtually unlimited number of online radio channels.

Many online radio services such as Pandora are now available on portable devices such as cell phones and other wireless audio transmitter devices via appropriate apps. This adds mobility to online radio which has still been the trump card of local radio stations.

AOL Radio offers more than 200 music channels as well as 150 national CBS radio stations since it uses CBS radio as its platform. Listeners can also create their own customized radio stations at the CBS radio “play.it” web site and save each track for playback on an iPod by using 3-rd party software iGetMusic.  Read more...

Guidelines For Finding The Optimal Wireless Audio Transmitter Device

An increasing number of wireless audio transmitter products promise the ultimate freedom in streaming music all over the house. We will take a look at different products and technologies to find out in how far these products are useful for whole-house audio applications and what to look out for when buying a wireless system.

Running music in your house can be a daunting task. Many homes are not wired for multi-room audio and getting the music from your living room to your bedroom can be quite a challenge. Products which solve this problem are usually based on the following technologies: infrared wireless, RF wireless, wireless LAN or powerline.

Infrared wireless audio products are limited to line-of-sight applications, i.e. only operate within a single room since the signal is sent as infrared light which cannot penetrate walls. This technology is often found in wireless speaker kit products.

RF wireless products send the audio as RF waves – either by using FM transmission or digital transmission – and can therefore easily transmit through walls. FM transmission is inexpensive but rather prone to noise, audio distortion and susceptible to interference.  Read more...

How Avaya Aura Makes Businesses More Cost-Efficient

Avaya have a number of high-quality and popular products in its ever expanding range of communication systems. One of the more popular is an SIP-base unified architecture, complete with a design which assists companies in saving on cost. They also help to improve a company in other areas e.g. reaching customers and managing communication systems as a whole. It works by allowing every single SIP-base application in the network to inter-operate no matter the vendor or location. The applications can be managed by the company from just the one location. This eradicates a complexity still associated with IP networks.

There are numerous ways that the Avaya Aura can reduce costs such as enabling global least-cost routing, on-net calling, centrally managed dial plans and public switched telephone access from the location that is the most cost-effective.

Avaya enables businesses to create their own applications and expand upon them. Whilst many point fingers at the recession, Avaya has an alternative view as to why there has been a lack of investment in their products, They feel that the main factor has been an uncertainty over return of investment with it being difficult to gauge an estimate upon its effectiveness in that area. The product needs to be more vocal and simplified to improve its perception by its potential customers. It certainly reduces IT costs and actually allows companies to become a service provider to its own users.  Read more...
