Session 1 AoIP That Stays On: Practical Networking & Failover for WheatNet IP with Kelly Parker & Jay Tyler

From single-studio rooms to multi-studio facilities, this session shows how to build AoIP networks that don’t flinch. We’ll cover multicast fundamentals, bandwidth planning, and real-world IGMP tuning. You’ll see recommended topologies for small and large deployments, plus redundancy choices that actually move the needle. Then we go live: demos of source, device, and switch failures; native WheatNet IP alarms; and fast recovery tactics—including how to keep audio on the air (and on the stream) when something disappears.

You’ll learn:
• Multicast & IGMP—what to set, what to avoid
• Bandwidth & QoS planning for AoIP traffic
• Proven topologies for single- and multi-studio builds
• Redundancy and failover strategies that work under pressure
• WheatNet IP alarms, monitoring, and quick-recovery moves

This technical webinar is designed for Directors of Engineering, Chief Engineers, system integrators, and IT teams.
