Low cost 5.8 GHZ STL Turnkey System

Remotely link a studio to an analogue transmitter up to 10kms using 5.8 GHZ microwave and hardware based encoders.

Using the priority port of hardware encoder\decoder makes for a simple way to do remotes.   Supply feed location, plug in power to wifi antennae and encoder,  point to base and the feed will broadcast automatically.  When the remote is done, disconnect power and normal programming resumes

• Stable with no PC to crash
• Very low power consumption
• Administered through common web interface
• Can easily expand to include other nodes and access points

CJUC broadcasts live from the Sunstroke music festival over several days during the summers.   We used a 5.8 GHZ stl using barix audio devices.  This is setup so that when the remote comes online, it automatically takes over the transmitter and sends audio on the priority port.  End of day, turn power off at the  remote.  Normal programming resumes from the studio.  Next day, turn on power at remote and the music festival feed played automatically on air 5 seconds later.  One switch. KISS.
