UP-FM

From iskWiki!

(Redirected from Low-power FM transmission on campus)

Project Description
UP-FM is conceived to be a network of strategically placed low-power (max 10W) FM transmitters on the UP Diliman campus. Its source content is streamed from a DILC server. The audio stream is also available online at up-fm.org.

UP-FM's potential audience on campus include people with FM-ready mobile phones and those in offices with radios. The station can also be "installed" outside the UP Campus where there is Internet connection and low-power transmitters can be established.

Contents
Planned initial contents include demo tracks from campus bands, music education program, music recitals, stream of important campus academic events, campus bulletin.

[edit] Research

UP-FM has a research component. Potentially this cost-effective community-based FM "station" can complement DZUP, the official AM station of the University, and commercial radio stations.

The system will also be used to prototype a network that can be used during disaster or crisis situations.

[edit] Volunteers

We need volunteers for transmission, infrastructure maintenance, sound engineering, and programming. DJs, marketing specialists, student orgs, aspiring bands are also welcome.
