UP-FM
Project Description
UP-FM is conceived to be a network of strategically placed low-power (max 10W) FM transmitters on the UP Diliman campus and in other places. Its source content is streamed from a DILC server. The fully automated audio stream is also available online at up-fm.org.
UP-FM's potential audience on campus include people with FM-ready mobile phones and those in offices with radios. The station can also be "installed" outside the UP Campus where there is Internet connection and low-power transmitters can be established.

Research
UP-FM has a research component. Potentially this cost-effective community-based FM "station" can complement DZUP, the official AM station of the University, and commercial radio stations.
The system will also be used to prototype a network that can be used during disaster or crisis situations.
