The result is radio's first cloud-native automation and AoIP in one. NEW BERN, NC, USA – A recent partnership between Wheatstone and Radio.Cloud has resulted in the industry’s first fully integrated cloud environment combining program automation with AoIP control and routing. Together, the two offer a platform that integrates native AoIP with cloud-native automation for a large installed base of Wheatstone studios around the globe.
