The WO Aurora Difference
Web Studio
A browser-based automation interface that gives talent access to the tools they need from anywhere. No VPN, no local software, no IT headaches.
Live Mic
Broadcast live from virtually any location using just a laptop and a microphone, with no codec, no mixing console, and no on-site engineer required.
Cloud Hosting
WideOrbit-managed cloud infrastructure built on AWS, maintained by a dedicated in-house DevOps team — so your station stays on the air without the burden of managing it yourself.
A smarter financial model for modern radio.
Traditional broadcast infrastructure was built for a different era, one with stable hardware costs, predictable revenues, and deep engineering benches. That era has passed.
WO Aurora shifts broadcasters from a cash-intensive, volatile CapEx model to a predictable, subscription-based OpEx structure.
- No large upfront hardware purchases
- No server refresh cycles, and no surprise maintenance costs
- Entire cost categories — codecs, mixing consoles, on-site servers and server space, 24/7 engineering coverage — can be significantly reduced or eliminated entirely.
The result is a lower total cost of ownership and greater financial flexibility. And a shorter, faster path to profitability.
