Abstract

Internet offers a promising future to social communicators and radio producers who seek an alternative pathway to make radio. It gives Information and Communications Technology (ICT) engineers the possibility of developing new technologies for audio transmission through the web (streaming), diverse opportunities in several areas of knowledge, new communicative possibilities, greater geographic coverage, new radio formats, interactivity, larger audiences and ease setup as a bid is not required for spectrum and equipment is lower cost. This is a research on the analysis of the Network Bandwidth assigned to a radio station to offer a quality service. In such work the average measurements were calculated for of descent and ascent of data within the daily working day from Monday to Friday (12 samples per day), which shed us an average of current actual bandwidth for the programmes transmission of 725 Kbps. With this bandwidth only 22 users can attend simultaneously with a transmission rate of 32 Kbps to one channel (minimum of transmission), which is already not enough to meet the current demand. The potential users to connect daily and simultaneously are 31 around the globe spread over 18 countries. To meet the current demand and offer a quality streaming service (transmission of radio programmes), an increase and access to a bandwidth of 4Mbps is required (2 Mbps of upload and 2 Mbps of data down if it were symmetrical.
