ONLINE RADIO & TV
Your content, on every screen
Having your own online radio station or TV channel is easier today than you might imagine.
At DigitalRM Broadcast, we create complete solutions that transform a project, company or organisation into a fully integrated digital communication channel, with live radio and television available 24 hours a day to audiences anywhere in the world.
We bring together all the technology required to receive, process, broadcast and distribute audio and video content over the Internet, complemented by customised websites, players and applications for iOS, Android, Apple TV and Google TV.
You can start with a simple solution and expand as your project grows. The infrastructure adapts to the requirements of each operation.
For our clients, everything is designed to be simple.
Behind that simplicity is a professional broadcast infrastructure.
Much more than streaming
Putting audio or video online is relatively simple. Keeping a broadcast available with the quality, stability and capacity required to support a growing audience is a different challenge.
That is where DigitalRM technology begins.
We have developed an infrastructure specifically designed for professional audio and video streaming, combining our own processing and distribution capacity with CDN technology, redundancy, failover, monitoring and analytics.
This enables us to build solutions for everything from an online radio station to television projects, broadcasters and digital platforms serving internationally distributed audiences.
A truly global infrastructure
The DigitalRM platform operates across four physical clusters, strategically located in: São Paulo · Miami · Amsterdam · Singapore · Johannesburg
This geographical distribution allows us to support operations in different regions of the world and bring infrastructure closer to audiences.
Our clusters are connected to Akamai's global CDN, adding extensive international content distribution capacity and enabling efficient delivery to geographically dispersed audiences.
The result is an architecture designed to combine performance, availability and scalability, whether your audience is concentrated in a single country or distributed across several continents.
24/7 Online Radio
We create online radio stations designed for continuous broadcasting over the Internet.
Using technologies such as Icecast, integrated with our distribution, redundancy and monitoring infrastructure, we receive and distribute your broadcast to websites, players, applications and other compatible systems.
We can work with different formats and quality levels, adapting each solution to the characteristics of the broadcast, the audience and the devices being used.
Your online radio service can operate as an extension of a traditional FM station or as a fully digital project available exclusively over the Internet.
In either case, the objective is the same: making your broadcast available to your audience, wherever they are.
Online Television and Live Streaming
For television and video, we provide professional infrastructure for live broadcasts, linear channels, events and digital content.
We use technologies such as HLS and transcoding to process and distribute video across different profiles and quality levels.
With adaptive streaming, playback can adjust to the viewer's connection conditions and device capabilities, helping to provide a more stable experience across different networks and screens.
A single project can therefore reach computers, smartphones, tablets and connected TVs while providing an experience appropriate to each platform.
Redundancy and automatic failover
A professional broadcast should not depend on a single server or a single point within the infrastructure.
Our solutions can therefore incorporate multiple levels of redundancy, backup systems and automatic failover mechanisms.
Failover can also operate at endpoint level, automatically switching to a preconfigured alternative when the primary service becomes unavailable.
All of this happens in the background.
For the audience, the objective is simple: minimise the impact of a potential failure and keep the content available.
Continuous monitoring
Putting a service online is not enough. You need to know, continuously, whether it is operating as expected.
DigitalRM infrastructure includes continuous monitoring and alerting systems that supervise different service components and help identify abnormal conditions.
Streams, endpoints and other critical elements of the operation can be monitored continuously, allowing our team to respond more quickly when an issue occurs.
It is a technology layer the audience will normally never see, but it is part of what separates simply streaming over the Internet from operating a professional streaming platform.
For the person watching or listening, all this technology has one objective: press Play and find the broadcast available.
Understand your audience
Broadcasting is only one part of the process. Understanding how your content is being consumed is equally important.
DigitalRM solutions can integrate analytics and audience measurement tools, providing information about service usage and how consumption evolves over time.
Depending on the solution implemented, you can analyse metrics such as audience levels, sessions, connection duration, trends over time, geographic distribution and other relevant data.
This information provides a better understanding of audience behaviour and can support programming, communication and growth decisions.
Custom websites and players
Your Online Radio or TV service can have its own digital environment, developed around your brand identity.
We create custom websites and players, integrating live broadcasts with content, schedules, information, contact details and other functionality required by the project.
Instead of relying exclusively on external platforms, you gain your own digital channel through which you can establish a direct relationship with your audience.
Integration can also extend to platforms and social networks such as YouTube and Facebook, allowing your own digital channels to work alongside the reach provided by major social platforms.
Applications for smartphones and TVs
Audiences no longer consume content on a single device.
That is why we develop customised applications for iOS and Android, bringing your Radio and TV content directly to smartphones and tablets.
We also develop applications for Apple TV and Google TV, bringing your channel directly to the television through its own dedicated application.
Applications can integrate live broadcasts, radio, television, content, information and other features defined according to the requirements of each project.
The result is a consistent brand presence across the web, mobile devices and connected television.
Live, recording and On-Demand content
Content does not have to disappear when a live broadcast ends.
Our platforms can integrate recording and VOD - Video On Demand, allowing programmes, interviews, events and other content to remain available for later viewing.
A project can therefore combine a live linear channel with an On-Demand content library, giving audiences different ways to access and consume content.
Live and On-Demand become part of the same digital ecosystem.
Integrations and APIs
Every project has different requirements.
Our infrastructure can therefore integrate with external systems and platforms through APIs, enabling specific workflows and functionality to be developed.
Players, websites, applications, management systems, content platforms and other solutions can communicate with one another, making it possible to build projects that go far beyond a simple webpage with a Play button.
Advertising and monetisation
For projects working with commercial content, we can integrate advertising solutions into the Online Radio and TV operation.
The technology can be adapted to each operator's strategy, allowing content, broadcasting and commercial components to work within the same ecosystem.
This means the platform is not simply a means of distribution. It can also become part of the project's business model.
A solution designed to grow
Not every project requires the same infrastructure from day one.
A station can begin with Online Radio and later add television, a website, mobile applications, Smart TV, VOD, analytics or additional distribution channels.
Likewise, an initially small audience can grow and begin to require greater capacity.
DigitalRM architecture allows the solution to be scaled according to each project's requirements and to evolve alongside it.
The technology grows with your project, without requiring your project to start bigger than it needs to be.
One platform. Multiple channels.
Depending on the requirements of each project, a DigitalRM solution can include:
- 24/7 Online Radio
- Online Television
- Live Streaming
- High-Definition audio and video streaming
- Icecast and HLS
- Transcoding and adaptive streaming
- International server infrastructure
- Global CDN
- Redundancy and backups
- Automatic failover
- Monitoring and alerts
- Analytics and audience statistics
- Recording
- VOD - Video On Demand
- Advertising
- Custom players
- Websites
- iOS and Android applications
- Apple TV and Google TV applications
- APIs and integrations

We do more than provide streaming. We build the digital infrastructure that enables your content to reach its audience.
International experience
DigitalRM Broadcast technology already supports radio, television and digital communication projects across different markets.
Projects using our solutions include UniFeTV Portugal, UniFeTV Argentina, Rede Miramar Rádio e TV in Mozambique, Crioula FM in Cape Verde, Rádio Positiva across different European markets, Vida FM in Spain, Red Aleluya in several Latin American countries, Universal Peru, Universal Philadelphia and Universal California.
These projects differ in scale, audience and requirements, but share the same fundamental need: to get their content on air and deliver it to their audience.
Shall we build your channel?
Whether you are launching a new project, taking a traditional radio or television broadcaster into the digital environment, or modernising an existing operation, we can analyse your requirements and define the most appropriate architecture.
You do not need to understand Icecast, HLS, CDN, transcoding or failover to get started.
That's our part.
Yours is creating the content.
DigitalRM Online Radio & TV. Your content, on every screen.
