<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>There are a couple of solutions I've seen in use in a number of locations. The first of these is using the previously mentioned 5.8GHz link using off the shelf WiFi equipment (e.g. Ubiquity, Aruba, Motorola). On the plus side, it's really cheap and only requires some IP codecs at each end. Depending on the frequencies chosen, there may be a low cost licence required. Also, there will be a delay in transmission making listening "off air" impossible in studios.</div><div><br></div><div>If you want to get clever, you can start looking at backup links with this option (e.g. DSL) but that requires kit and knowledge. Oh, and watch out for interference as well as other users.</div><div><br></div><div>Another option is the analogue 1.5GHz or Band I link. Licencing varies between the two options but the kit can cost several thousand pounds.On the up side, there is little-to-no noticeable delay (allowing off-air monitoring) and you can locate the expensive processor, RDS encoder, etc. at the studio end.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Marc.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 1 June 2016 at 12:06, Jonathan Pinfield <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jonathan.pinfield@bcbradio.co.uk" target="_blank">jonathan.pinfield@bcbradio.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-GB" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div><p class="MsoNormal">Hi all<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">We’re looking for cheap and reliable solutions to get our “on-air” output from our studios in Bradford city centre to our transmitter site a couple of miles away.
