CBOnline Grants - Digital Delivery Network (DDN) Infrastructure

The Digital Delivery Network (DDN) uses a data stream linked to the Community Radio Network satellite channel to deliver data directly to station-based computer equipment via the station's satellite receiver.

The DDN enables:

• online ordering, automated recording and storage of Community Radio Network satellite programs for later replay
• distribution of audio, image and text files via datacasting e.g. AMRAP music releases
• easier access to, and exchange of, small audio items such as serials and CSA's  

Funds are available to provide equipment (DDN Player package) for community radio stations to access the DDN. The equipment is to be supplied via the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia as DDN Project Manager.

Consideration of DDN grants is the responsibility of the Online Grants Advisory Committee.
