BUILD YOUR STATION

Pick a plan, add what you need

We build custom plans. If your station needs more than the largest plan, or has special peaks like a match, an event or election night, we handle it. The INOVANEX network, with more than 315 nodes replicating content worldwide, has capacity for millions of simultaneous listeners: your plan sets the limit, not the infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions about radio streaming

What does a radio streaming service include?

A radio streaming service has three parts: the encoder that sends your signal, the server that distributes it, and the player where people listen. With INOVANEX you get the Transmisor INOVANEX encoder (Windows 7 to 11 and Mac), which includes a free audio processor, Icecast and HLS broadcasting replicated across more than 315 nodes, AutoPodcast to rewind the live show and publish every program, and migration without going off the air.

How many simultaneous listeners does it support?

From hundreds to thousands of concurrent listeners depending on the plan, served by an anycast audio CDN with more than 315 nodes replicating content worldwide. In production we sustain +570,000 concurrent listeners, and we scale your capacity as your audience grows.

Which control panel will I use?

You operate with our own panel, the most complete and robust on the market: real-time stats, source control, AutoDJ and scheduling. It is compatible with Icecast v2 and Shoutcast, so any standard encoder connects without friction.

What is AutoDJ and why do I need it?

AutoDJ plays your pre-recorded content so you broadcast 24/7 without leaving a PC on. It also acts as failover: if your live source drops, it takes over automatically so your station is never silent.

Can I have mobile apps with my own brand?

Yes. We build Android and iOS apps with your identity that also work on Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and with the Android TV add-on they reach TV sets. They include push notifications, floating chat, ChromeCast and AirPlay, and they are built to ride out dropouts: even when the connection gets unstable, your station keeps playing.

Can I migrate my station without going off air?

Yes. We run the migration white-glove with zero downtime: we prepare your station on our infrastructure and switch over transparently, with no transition noticeable to your audience.

What if I have a problem after hours?

Your broadcast is monitored and backed by specialized 24/7 technical support, 365 days a year. The service also runs under a 99.998% SLA measured with compensation, so we stand behind your station's real availability.

How much does radio streaming cost?

It depends on how many simultaneous listeners you need: plans go from 500 to 5,000 listeners, all with 128 kbps AAC, no transfer charges and our own panel. Prices are published in ARS, USD and EUR; you can see them in the configurator on this page and order right away.

Icecast or Shoutcast? Which one should I use?

Both work and both are included. Icecast v2 is the current standard: it supports AAC+, HTTPS and "now playing" metadata natively, and it is what modern apps and players use. Shoutcast is there for older encoders or directories that require it. Any encoder connects: BUTT, RadioDJ, Zara, Mixxx, Virtual DJ, OBS, SAM Broadcaster, Winamp.

What bitrate should an online radio use?

128 kbps AAC is FM quality and it is included in every plan. One hour of listening uses about 57 MB, less than a short video. If your audience listens mostly on mobile data you can broadcast at 64 or 96 kbps AAC from the same panel; AAC sounds better than MP3 at the same bitrate.

Do I need my own server or technical knowledge?

No. The streaming server, player, statistics and backup are already operated by INOVANEX. You only connect your encoder with the details we give you, or upload your music to AutoDJ. If you come from another provider, we migrate you without going off air.

Can I broadcast from my phone or on location?

Yes. Any iOS or Android encoder app that supports Icecast or Shoutcast connects to your server with the same details. For mobile and outdoor broadcasts use 64 or 96 kbps AAC and keep AutoDJ on as a fallback: if the connection drops, the station stays on air by itself.

Will my station show up on Google?

Yes. Every station streaming with INOVANEX gets, at no cost, a public page at inovanex.com/radios/ with its player, details and schedule, indexable by Google for searches like "your station live". The HTML5 player also embeds on your own site with SSL.

What do I need to start an online radio station?

Three things: a streaming server, which is what this service provides; an encoder program on your computer or phone that sends your audio to the server; and a player so people can listen. With INOVANEX the server, the player and the encoder are already taken care of, and anyone can start without knowing about servers. If you want the station to stay on air with nobody in the studio, add AutoDJ.

Which software do I use to broadcast my station?

Whichever you prefer: any Icecast- or Shoutcast-compatible encoder connects, such as BUTT, Mixxx, RadioDJ, ZaraRadio, SAM Broadcaster, Virtual DJ or OBS. INOVANEX also has its own program, Transmisor INOVANEX, for Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 and for Mac (Intel and Apple Silicon). It links to your station with a code, with no passwords to copy, captures the audio from your mixing desk or whatever is playing on the computer, and goes back on air by itself if the computer restarts. It also includes a free audio processor: leveler, 3-band compressor and peak limiter, with presets for music, talk, tropical, rock/pop and classical stations, so your station sounds even, louder and never clips.

Are there free streaming servers for radio?

Yes, but what is free is usually the software, not the service. Icecast is free software, and some platforms host stations at no cost in exchange for ads, their own branding, or limits on listeners and quality. Running it at home depends on your connection and on a computer that never switches off. It is fine for testing; for a station with an audience, a service with failover and support is the safer choice.

What makes INOVANEX different from other radio streaming providers?

Our own technology. An in-house encoder for Windows 7 to 11 and Mac, with a built-in audio processor; a CDN with more than 315 nodes worldwide, so each listener connects to the nearest one; ingest in Latin America and North America; and AutoPodcast, which records the live feed non-stop so listeners can rewind and publishes every show as a podcast episode automatically. Today the network serves more than 570,000 simultaneous listeners.

What should I compare before hiring a radio streaming service?

Look at four concrete things: how many nodes your signal is replicated to, whether it streams over Icecast and also HLS (what you need for apps and mobile browsers), whether the SLA is measured and compensated, and who handles the migration. At INOVANEX your signal is replicated across more than 315 nodes, we stream in Icecast and HLS, and we move you from your current provider without taking you off the air.

Do you offer a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Monthly plans carry a 7-day guarantee and annual plans a 30-day guarantee, counted from activation. If the service does not work for you as expected, request the refund by ticket within that period. Domain registration and payment-processor fees are not included. Full details are in the terms and conditions.
