TechTalk: DYWC launches Worldwide Broadcast Enabled by Auza.Net

DYWC, a popular AM radio station in Sibulan, Negros Oriental, launched the station’s

worldwide broadcast on June 13, 2010 during its annual fiesta pontifical mass held in honor

of its patron saint San Antonio de Padua. Auza.Net enabled the wordwide broadcast using

the same technologies implemented for the local radio station DYRD-AM. Although currently

still on test broadcast, it already has received several happy comments from its listeners

who are abroad or in other parts of the Philippines.

Station manager Fr. Ramonito Maata and Bishop John F. Du of the Dumaguete diocese

invited all listeners worldwide of DYWC’s flagship program ‘Bandilyo’ to tune in to the

broadast on its website www.dywc801.com. Listeners from UK, New York, California,

Las Vegas, Sydney, Texas, Cavite, Cebu and other places around the world have posted

comments on the website expressing their appreciation of DYWC’s worldwide broadcast

which has made them feel like they are close to their home province.

Auza.Net used open source software to implement the audio streaming technology on a

Linux based CPU. It also used cloud computing technology to implement a very reliable

streaming server capable of handling several simultaneous users. Since the streaming

server is located in the US, most listeners in the US are able to listen to the broadcast with

minimal or no buffering at all.

The whole system is packaged by Auza.Net as a turnkey solution for radio stations who

want to implement its very own worldwide broadcast. By using a VPN or virtual private

network system, the company is able to remotely manage the streaming CPU allowing

the radio station to focus on its broadcasting capability while Auza.Net ensures that the

streaming broadcast system is functioning well all the time.
