Overview

MISTiQ is an Internet Cloud solution which provides radio network program distribution to remote sites using the internet. When implemented as a back-up path to satellite transmission, MISTiQ can be used for hybrid satellite & Internet distribution to increase transmission availability by eliminating rain-fade outages, sun outages and satellite uplink equipment failures.

MISTiQ can also form the basis of an all-internet (Internet-only) radio distribution system. MISTiQ reliably delivers single program channels and multi-program channels of audio in stereo or mono along with the associated ancillary data for RDS, GPO relays, metadata plus audio files for ad insertion, network management, software upgrades, time sync, FCC-mandated transmitter control and more. All services are delivered through the Internet in the same way as a satellite-based service.

MISTiQ can be configured as an add-on to an existing or new satellite network to introduce internet back up as shown in Figure (1) or configured for use as a stand-alone professional radio distribution system with STAR G2 receivers as shown in Figure (2).
