Network Architecture
Network Architecture Allows Regional or National Content Control.
InfoChannel allows for both central and regional control of content. It can be deployed on a variety of networks (LAN, modem, Internet, satellite) and can be scaled to multiple masters and players. A creative designer works on the Master system making content and templates for use by the Reporter. The Reporter then plugs in the words and sets the schedule. This perfect delegation of responsibilities makes managing a thousand site multimedia network possible.
Use your existing IT infrastructure such as Dialup/LAN/WAN/Wi-Fi or terrestrial broadband technology such as DSL or cable modems. Thinking big? InfoChannel works just as well within a Satellite/IP Multicast environment which can accommodate a potentially unlimited number of player locations.

Utilize Existing Infrastructure or Expand to Satellite.
Extend your multimedia network over a potentially unlimited range by working with a satellite bandwidth provider. Scala's unparalleled power is in the ability to delegate responsibilities to the most qualified people within an organization. Designers design. Media placers place media. Technical people deal with technical issues. Use your existing LAN/WAN, or consider using a satellite turnkey approach that has low-impact on existing network infrastructure. An uplink facility called a Network Operation Center (NOC) is pictured here. Scala's InfoChannel Broadcast Server software connects to a NOC and transmits to small VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) satellite dishes located at each remote site.
