2wcom Systems

News Summary:

2wcom Systems recently supported hsf Studentenradio e.V. with an IP-4c audio codec, provided as an anniversary gift for the organization's 75th anniversary on January 22, 2026. Earlier, on January 8, 2026, the company attended HAMBURG OPEN, participating in the "Treffpunkt IP" hosted by ARD.ZDF media academy. At the event, 2wcom introduced a new DAB Databridge Option for its MPX-1g, which adds DAB reception for FM re-broadcast and backup scenarios, and a new browser-based platform for secure, scalable remote device management tailored for hybrid broadcast workflows. This followed observations on October 6, 2025, from Ted Nahil, 2wcom's U.S. sales representative, who noted an almost exponential increase in bandwidth requirements for signal transmission. Previously, on September 10, 2025, 2wcom expanded its DAB+ encoder capabilities—including the MoIN and IP-8e DAB edition—by adding mux compatibility across vendors, a DAB sub-multiplex editor, and local PAD import. To enhance robustness, the company also integrated SRT encapsulation for the feed from the DAB+ encoder to the head-end, ensuring reliable delivery over public networks. In August 2025, 2wcom launched up2talk, a solution designed to simplify bringing external guests or commentators into live TV programs with broadcast-standard quality, addressing challenges like unstable connections and complicated setups.
