Surenet delivers

The challenge

Legacy network providers announced the withdrawal of the Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) product set in 2012. This led to uncertainty surrounding the future delivery of broadcast content to hill-top stations among radio station technical managers. What was required was an end-to-end audio and data managed distribution product. It needed to be built on a next generation ethernet core network that could be relied upon for delivering both local, regional and national FM and AM radio services.

The solution

We engaged directly with broadcasters during the development of the Surenet service to ensure it met their requirements for a resilient, high availability content delivery network.

Delivered across our own optical Transport Network, Surenet provides a replacement service for the soon to be obsolescent BT Kilostream and Musicline product offerings.

The result

Provisioning of services commenced for a number of broadcasters in 2014 and continues today across the UK for regional and local services.

The UK’s largest commercial radio broadcasters utilise the Surenet platform for distributing a number of their services and now it forms a critical part of their transmission infrastructure.
