Tech Focus: Telos Livewire+ spans the globe

Telos Alliance Livewire, a protocol for transporting linear, broadcast-quality audio plus control over Ethernet, is the backbone powering thousands of broadcast studios worldwide.

Livewire enables distributed, decentralized routing, with networked audio and control accessible on demand wherever and whenever needed. Livewire+ systems scale naturally, from single studios to multicampus installations, using LAN, WAN, or private IP connections; adding new studios or contribution paths becomes a simple matter of network configuration rather than hardware reconfiguration.

As a charter member of the committee that defined the AES67 standard, Telos Alliance is committed to standards-based interoperability. Livewire+, the latest incarnation of the original protocol, is fully AES67-compliant, providing a unified, IP-based foundation that joins hardware and software-based consoles, audio processors, codecs, phone systems, intercom, monitoring and control into a single coherent system and ensures interoperability while preserving the performance and workflow advantages broadcasters expect.

For facilities that need deep visibility and control, Axia Pathfinder Core PRO ties the Livewire+ ecosystem together by providing real-time routing control, logic, monitoring and fault detection — the result: a resilient, software-defined audio network designed for future radio operations.
