Tieline Technology says its IP audio codecs now are 4G LTE-compatible and can connect using either 3G or 4G wireless networks when required.
The manufacturer pointed to a recent notable application.
At Dallas sports station KTCK(AM), aka “The Ticket,” Cumulus tech personnel set up a standard ISDN line; but, worried about heavy network traffic, they set up a wireless backup option using a Tieline Commander G3 IP audio codec configured with both a 3G wireless module and 4G LTE modem.
Tieline said the station ended up needing the 4G LTE link to get a press conference with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on the air from a lower level of a local hotel.
Later, another Tieline Commander, rigged as an IP backup codec, came to the rescue during the main broadcast when the ISDN line failed momentarily.
