Some technologies I never used:<\/h1>\n

\u00a0Other larger stations would use ISDN directly to the hybrid.\u00a0 It\u2019s my understanding that this is like presenting a PRI directly to the hybrid with no front PBX. It was stable, and the audio quality was as good as the CO\u2019s switch.\u00a0 In these cases, the caller\u2019s analog or cellular connection was often the limiting factor for audio quality.\u00a0 I would imagine these are the type of systems used by the big talk show hosts like Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Remote broadcasts in other markets are moving to a full internet based VoIP solution, where the remote broadcasters has a unit that speaks IP to the nearest internet connection and negotiates a VoIP \u201ccall\u201d to the dedicated hybrid at the studio. I\u2019ve even seen apps for smart phones that allow this style of connectivity using the phone\u2019s hardware to do the VoIP work and the cellular data network for the data. I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d want to try this in a mission critical application!\u00a0 On the other hand, it\u2019d certainly sound better than a raw cellular call and doesn\u2019t have the hassle of setting up a microwave link.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In the studio, if SIP is king, Hybrids are available to consume SIP audio just like an IP phone.\u00a0 I would imagine if you have good SIP trunks these sound delightful!<\/p>\n

\u00a0There you have it.\u00a0 Telephony meets Radio.\u00a0 I think so long as radio is around, you\u2019ll continue to have talk show callers, contest callers, callers who want to know the weather.\u00a0 Despite the push to the Internet, telephony is still the preferred method for many radio listeners to communicate and have a voice in their station, no pun intended!<\/p>\n
