Time Addressable Media Storage (TAMS) is a modern approach to storing and providing access to time-based media content. Instead of treating audio and video exclusively as traditional files, TAMS enables applications to access media based on its position in time.
 
Especially in modern broadcast and IP-based production environments, this opens up new possibilities. Applications can access specific time ranges within continuous media streams without having to transfer or process complete files. This simplifies the integration of different systems and enables more flexible and efficient workflows.
 
At 2wcom Systems, we have already integrated TAMS functionality into our solutions. It is available both in our hardware devices and within our MoIN software platform, combining proven broadcast technology with modern software- and API-based media architectures.
For our customers, this means greater flexibility in processing, accessing, and delivering media content — and another important step towards making existing broadcast infrastructures ready for future IP- and cloud-based workflows.

Want to see what that can look like in practice? Read how Arqiva uses MoIN as part of its modernised UK DAB infrastructure, supporting more than 1,000 radio services while helping enable a significantly smaller infrastructure footprint.

Arqiva Customer Story
]]> Doing More with Less: How MoIN Helps Arqiva to Reduce the Energy Footprint of Digital Radio https://www.2wcom.com/energy-footprint-of-digital-radio/ Tue, 25 Aug 2026 13:46:45 +0000 https://www.2wcom.com/?p=17870

Sometimes, the biggest changes are the ones listeners never notice.

Arqiva recently completed a major modernisation of the UK DAB Radio Network. Between May 2025 and July 2026, 62 multiplexes and more than 1,000 radio services were migrated to a new Central Coding & Multiplexing System (CCMS), while keeping critical radio services running for millions of listeners across the UK.

Behind more than 1,000 of these radio services is 2wcom’s MoIN, Multimedia over IP Network Server.

MoIN provides a high density software platform that allows Arqiva to process a large number of radio services on standard off the shelf server hardware. This approach also shows how software architecture can help reduce the infrastructure needed to run a large broadcast network.

More Than 1,000 Radio Services. A Smaller Footprint.

Broadcast networks operate around the clock. Servers and appliances run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and every additional piece of hardware means more power, rack space, cooling and maintenance.

That makes processing density important.

MoIN is designed to handle a high number of broadcast services within a software based environment running on standard server infrastructure. Instead of continuously adding dedicated hardware as the number of services grows, processing can be consolidated onto fewer physical machines.

For Arqiva, this high density approach is one part of a much larger infrastructure transformation.

The overall results reported by Arqiva are impressive:

  • 62 multiplexes migrated
  • More than 1,000 radio services
  • 13 UK locations consolidated to 2
  • 96% reduction in datacentre capacity
  • 87% reduction in energy consumption


All while maintaining the resilience required for a national radio network serving millions of listeners.

Making Better Use of Existing Hardware

Moin Mockup

The idea behind MoIN is simple: make better use of the computing resources already available.

Running broadcast functionality as high density software on standard servers makes it possible to process many services within a compact IT environment.

Fewer physical servers also mean less electricity, less heat and less energy needed for cooling. They require less rack space and supporting datacentre infrastructure, while reducing the amount of hardware that needs to be operated and maintained.

Put simply:

More services per server means less infrastructure per service.

When you are dealing with more than 1,000 radio services, that can make a real difference.

Broadcast Software on Standard IT Hardware

MoIN does not depend on a dedicated proprietary hardware platform. Instead, it brings professional broadcast processing to standard off the shelf server environments.

This combines the flexibility and scalability of modern IT infrastructure with the reliability and functionality required for professional broadcast operations.

For large network operators such as Arqiva, this creates opportunities to consolidate infrastructure while still meeting the requirements of a mission critical broadcast network.

It also shows that improving efficiency does not always mean adding more specialised hardware. Sometimes, it comes down to using software more effectively.

One Part of a Bigger Transformation

Of course, software alone does not solve the climate challenge. But infrastructure that operates continuously for many years is worth looking at when it comes to resource consumption.

If smarter software can run the same workload on fewer physical systems, it can help reduce energy consumption and the infrastructure required around it.

Arqiva reports an 87% reduction in energy consumption as part of its overall CCMS transformation. Several factors contributed to this result, including datacentre consolidation, automation and infrastructure modernisation.

We are proud that MoIN and its high density software architecture are part of this transformation, processing more than 1,000 radio services while helping enable a significantly smaller infrastructure footprint.

Millions of listeners will never notice what changed behind the scenes.

They will simply turn on the radio and hear their favourite station.

And that is ultimately what good broadcast technology should do: keep the service running reliably while making the infrastructure behind it smarter and more efficient.

]]> Customer Story: Christian Milling on Reliable DAB+ Distribution https://www.2wcom.com/customer-story-christian-milling-on-reliable-dab-distribution/ Wed, 08 Jul 2026 07:59:39 +0000 https://www.2wcom.com/?p=17423

Reliable signal distribution is essential for every broadcaster. For Christian Milling and the team at Milling Broadcast Services, the challenge was to build a distribution network that not only delivers high quality audio, but also remains flexible in the event of technical failures.

As part of a project for the Lower Saxony State Media Authority, Milling Broadcast Services delivers the audio signals of 11 non commercial local and community radio stations from their individual studios to the central handover point in Usingen. From there, the DAB+ platform operator distributes the signals into the respective multiplexes.

Instead of following a conventional workflow, the team chose a different approach. Audio is transported as linear PCM from each studio to the central handover point, where DAB+ encoding is performed using MoIN. At the studio locations, IP-4c devices provide reliable audio transport while MoIN serves as a scalable software platform for central encoding.

According to Christian Milling, this architecture was primarily chosen to improve resilience.

“If a component in the studio fails, or if the studio itself becomes unavailable because of a power outage or another emergency, many conventional systems would simply result in silence on air. By performing the encoding close to the multiplexer, we can switch to alternative sources within seconds, whether that is another studio, a backup stream or an emergency audio file.”

Keeping the audio uncompressed until the central handover point also makes it much easier to react to unexpected situations without rebuilding the distribution chain.

The flexibility of the setup has also proven valuable beyond DAB+. After winning a recent tender, Milling Broadcast Services expanded the same IP-4c infrastructure to provide FM signal distribution as well.

“There was no need for additional hardware or unnecessary complexity. We activated the required functionality with just a few clicks and now use the same infrastructure for both DAB+ and FM distribution. Technologies such as SRT ensure stable and reliable transmission.”

When asked why the company selected 2wcom, Christian points to a combination of innovation, flexibility and long term support.

“The technical challenges of 2026 cannot be solved with concepts from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Unfortunately, many of those approaches are still common in our industry. At 2wcom, we work with people who are open to new ideas and continuously develop their products. Excellent support and included software updates make that partnership even stronger.”

For Milling Broadcast Services, the project demonstrates how a modern IP based architecture can improve reliability, simplify expansion and prepare broadcasters for future requirements without adding unnecessary technical complexity.

Troubleshooting is an essential part of keeping broadcast operations running smoothly. While our support team is always available to help when needed, many issues can often be identified much faster using the built in diagnostic tools available on 2wcom devices.

These tools provide valuable information about device status, system activity, and potential issues, helping both users and our support team find solutions more efficiently.

Diagnostic Report

The Diagnostic Report is typically the first tool to use when investigating an issue.

Users can generate a report covering a selected time span ranging from 30 seconds up to 5 minutes. The generated file contains a variety of useful information, including firmware details, IP traffic data, event logs, message logs, and snapshots of the device display at the time the report is created.

Once generated, the report can be sent directly to 2wcom Customer Support for further analysis and assistance.

Diagnostic Report example

Diagnostic Report

If the Diagnostic Report does not provide enough information to identify the cause of an issue, a Debug Report can offer a more detailed investigation.

For this process, 2wcom provides a custom debug script tailored to the specific problem being analyzed. The script can be uploaded to the device and generates an extended report containing additional diagnostic information.

The resulting file can then be returned to our support team, allowing for a more in depth evaluation and helping us resolve issues as quickly as possible.

Debug Report Example

Crash Report

The Crash Report is designed specifically for situations where a device unexpectedly crashes.

Following a crash, the device automatically generates a report containing relevant diagnostic information about the event. This report can either be downloaded for later use or sent directly to 2wcom Customer Support for immediate analysis.

By automatically collecting information at the time of the crash, the report helps speed up troubleshooting and provides valuable insights into the cause of the issue.

]]> A Real Deadline, Not a Demo: Radio Training Network’s MoIN Deployment Story https://www.2wcom.com/radio-training-networks-moin-deployment/ Thu, 12 Mar 2026 11:18:07 +0000 https://www.2wcom.com/?p=16804

When Radio Training Network reached out about additional licensing, it was not part of a routine expansion. A real operational deadline had just landed on the table.

Late on a Thursday night, the team learned they had only ten days to absorb one of their sister networks and migrate its broadcast operations into their Riverview, Florida facility. Multiple full-power stations and translators across several states needed to be integrated, covering two different formats, all without any service disruption.

According to Aaron Schultz, IT Director and Assistant Engineer at Radio Training Network, the first questions from management were simple and direct. What would it cost, and could it be done in time?

The answer came down to flexibility.

Rather than deploying new physical STL hardware or scheduling site visits under heavy time pressure, the team chose a software-driven approach. Using MoIN as the transport layer and existing IP-4c units at transmitter sites, a new MoIN pod was spun up and SRT paths were established back to the studio and out to each site for both primary and failover audio.

The result was immediate.

MoIN enables rapid network integration across multiple states 2wcom Software

In under 30 minutes, the MoIN pod was live, all audio paths were established, end-to-end audio was verified, and link stability was confirmed. No new hardware was installed at the studio, and no transmitter site visits were required.

Under the previous box-to-box model, this type of deployment would have meant additional STL hardware, physical integration work, and more potential points of failure. With MoIN, the entire setup was handled in software.

As the team approached final cutover, the transition itself was straightforward. Live program audio could be rerouted from the Riverview studios to transmitter sites across multiple states remotely with just a few clicks. The entire process was controlled centrally and executed with confidence.

For Radio Training Network, this deployment further validated a strategy that has been in progress for the past two years. The combination of MoIN as a software transport platform and IP-4c hardware at transmitter sites has enabled faster deployments, lower capital expenditure, fewer physical dependencies, and significantly greater operational agility.

This was not a lab test or a planned demo. It was a real deadline, real stations, and real operational pressure. The fact that it was executed entirely from desks, without emergency site work or last-minute hardware installations, highlighted the maturity and practicality of the platform.

A little while ago, around the end of last year, we had the pleasure of supporting hsf Studentenradio e.V. with a special anniversary gift: an IP-4c audio codec, provided on the occasion of their 75th anniversary.

Since then, hsf has already shared their own experience and impressions in a LinkedIn post, which we were very happy to see and appreciate greatly.

hsf studentenradio ip-4c with students

The IP-4c was supplied to help improve the audio link between the studio and the transmitter site at Vogelherd. The existing connection, based on a shared IP microwave link, is prone to occasional packet loss — a challenge the IP-4c addresses with features such as FEC, RIST, and SRT, resulting in a more stable and robust transmission.

Additional features like detailed packet loss statistics support ongoing link optimization, while dual streaming enables redundancy via a separate network. In the event of a failure, the integrated backup switching allows automatic fallback to a web stream or file playback.

Even though the Christmas lights are long gone, we’re still very happy to have supported hsf Studentenradio e.V. and wish them continued success in their anniversary year and beyond.

Just in time for this year’s HAMBURG OPEN, we wanted to share a little story from behind the scenes and how Bjarke found his way to 2wcom.

Bjarke Wrobel joined the 2wcom team not too long ago and now works with us as a Global Sales Engineer. When we first met him at HAMBURG OPEN 2025, he was still working as a Broadcast Engineer and giving a talk about his university project “Remote Jack”, focused on remote production.

Hamburg Open Bjarke Wrobel

During the event, Bjarke noticed 2wcom Systems as one of the companies from his hometown, Flensburg, and decided to stop by for a quick chat. As it turns out, our COO Mirko Goldschmidt had attended Bjarke’s talk earlier that day, which made the conversation even more interesting.

One chat turned into a longer one, everything clicked, and the rest pretty much wrote itself.

Since then, Bjarke has become a familiar face at 2wcom and will be back at HAMBURG OPEN this year, representing 2wcom Systems together with the rest of the team.

Whether you are looking for a new challenge, want to reconnect, or just want to learn more about our latest broadcasting technologies, we would love to see both familiar and new faces at HAMBURG OPEN 2026.

Find us on January 14 and 15 at Hamburg Messe and Congress, Hall 6, Booth B6.216 and say hi!

What's New at 2wcom

We promised real-world solutions instead of static screens, and this year, we’re showing how much progress we’ve made. As described in our previous article about highlights and demos, we focus on real setups. From cloud-native workflows to advanced transmission tools, our portfolio has grown with many new features and products ready for hands-on testing at booth 8.D81.

Expanding MoIN

MoIN, our flexible software-based AoIP core for managing contribution, distribution, and monitoring workflows, has seen a remarkable evolution. Beyond its flexible role in AoIP environments, it now integrates Stereo Tool sound processing for professional on-air audio quality. A new audio mixer allows combining multiple sources directly inside MoIN, while the SIP Call Manager provides straightforward control over multiple SIP connections.

Stereo Tool’s interface for setting sound profiles

MoIN now supports µMPX encoding/decoding, strengthening workflows where cost-efficient FM distribution is key. For broadcasters looking at multi-platform contribution, the addition of DAB+ encoding is a milestone – MoIN can now deliver DAB subchannels directly to multiplexers using EDI or Fraunhofer MuxEnc.

DAB+ Innovations

Since the release of the DAB+ encoder in MoIN and the IP-8e DAB edition, we’ve expanded with mux compatibility across vendors, a DAB sub-multiplex editor, and local PAD (DLS/SLS) import.

To strengthen robustness, we added SRT encapsulation for the feed from DAB+ encoder to the head-end, ensuring reliable delivery to multiplexers even over public networks.

For DAB distribution, we’ve enhanced our DAB-4c and DAB-4s with expert timing controls for all EDI sources. While SRT improves resilience, the new expert settings add another layer of protection: offset monitoring, alarms, and automatic muting ensure SFN stability and reliable DAB distribution. This gives operators greater confidence and peace of mind in maintaining seamless service.

FM and MPX Innovations

For FM distribution, the migration to µMPX has gained momentum, backed by new products like the MPX-2d. To support these workflows, the MPX Spectrum Analyzer provides real-time signal visibility with zoom levels, markers, and export options.

MPX-1g Screenshot IBC 2025

Our solutions now support FM/HD alignment, guaranteeing a constant relative delay between analog FM and HD Radio signals.

Introducing the newest member of our MPX family: the MPX-2d FM-MPX over IP Decoder – a lean, cost-effective solution for reliable IP-based MPX decoding. Designed for broadcasters who value efficiency, this decoder supports up to two channels, making it scalable to fit networks of all sizes.

Planning to transition from audio to MPX? The MPX-2d and MPX-2ds offer the flexibility to decode both MPX and audio feeds, ensuring seamless integration into your workflow regardless of your current setup.

We’ve also introduced the MPX-1g Alarm Receiver, which combines STL codec, stereo encoder, RDS, and alarm functions in a single unit. When PTY31 is activated in a national FM transmission, the MPX-1g automatically switches from the local STL feed (via µMPX, MPX, or audio) to the national broadcast. This ensures listeners receive critical alerts without delay.

nettwark– Device Control Reinvented

With nettwark, we’re redefining how broadcast devices are managed and controlled remotely. As the modern, web-based successor to our discontinued SIRC, nettwark offers an intuitive and efficient way to handle device management.
