Deva Broadcast has become an Axia Livewire partner. Deva Broadcast produces a variety of products for broadcasters, including RDS and RDBS equipment, FM monitoring and scanning devices, and IP-Audio MPEG streaming encoders/decoders.

The Livewire broadcast networking protocol was developed by Axia parent Telos Systems, and uses Ethernet to provide routing and sharing of audio and logic throughout broadcast plant. Under the Livewire Limitless License (L3), Deva Broadcast is licensed to build a Livewire interface into any or all of its products, allowing one-cable connection to Axia networks and communication with products from more than 40 other Livewire hardware and software partners.

The Livewire Limitless License entitles partners to build Livewire into an unlimited number of devices (for a one-time license fee of US$500). As an L3 partner, Axia will supply Deva Broadcast with Livewire interface designs, specifications, source code and development information, and an option to purchase the Livewire SIM, a compact pluggable 72-pin Single Inline Module which fits Dolby-E type slots, making it easy to include native Livewire connectivity in nearly any audio gear.

More than 3,000 studios are presently using Axia Livewire technology on air; more and than 25,000 connected devices (codecs, audio processors, phone systems and digital delivery systems) are in the field. Axia networks have a total system capacity of more than 10,000 audio streams, and can carry hundreds of digital stereo channels (plus machine logic and PAD) over a single Cat6 cable, eliminating much of the cost normally associated with wiring labor and infrastructure.

Axia also supports the high-performance Ravenna IP-Audio standard, which is backed by companies like Genelec, Neumann, Sonifex, Merging Technologies and Lawo.
