INTRODUCTION
 Internet radio has now become a great source
of entertainment. With the coming of radio on
internet, the traditional radio has lost its
importance to some extent. With the
increasing number of internet users, the
people who listen to internet radio have also
increased
3

INTRODUCTION
 Broadcasting has been
defined as the
transmission of
information through
radio waves from a
radio or television
station to the audience
in far and near places,
through their receivers,
which help in decoding
such information
 Streaming stands
for the real-time
transport of live or
stored media (e.g.
video, audio and
any associated
data) over the
Internet, between
the client and server
computers
4

SCOPE
 This project is limited to development of online
radio station which would be developed using
global standard such that other radio stations
and media outlet can take a lead from it.
5

SIGNIFICANCE
 This would help in transmitting Audio content over
the internet audio content which includes News
and Updates, Music, Lectures, Roundtable
discussions, Advertisement, talk shows, Sports
Updates, Islamic Programs etc
 Students would help in promoting the publicity of
the university to the whole world
 Students can access the radio station on their
smart phones and computers
 The university community and the host
communities could enjoy the services of the radio
station
 The radio station could transmit 24 hours 7 days

DESIGN METHODOLOGY
The methodology adopted for this project is the
component based software Engineering
(CBSE). CBSE emerged in the late 1990s as
an approach to software systems development
based on reusing software components.
Components are higher-level abstractions than
objects and are defined by their interfaces.
They are usually larger than individual objects
and all implementation details are hidden from
other components. (Sommerville, 2009).

Components Needed For
Implementation
 Winamp Music Player Software: This is open
source software for streaming music files and
encoding it to shout cast servers.
 Drupal Content Management System: for
easier administration of the system and
content creation updating and deleting.
 Mobile Aplication: The mobile application for
the system is developed using the ibuilapp
cloud IDE. Using Cordova, HTML5, and CSS3.

CONCLUSION
With the increase in the number of internet users
and accessibility to the internet via mobile
networks, wifi, and wired networks, it is very
important that Fountain University have a radio
system this would aid in the transfer of
information across the university as well as the
world as whole.

RECOMMENDATION
 A web master should be appointed to maintain
and manage whatever content that is to be
published on the platform.
 For easier transmission of data i.e streaming,
dedicated bandwidths should be allocated for the
fountain university radio system.
 A sub-Domain should be given to the radio
website on the university website.
 To ensure fountain university radio system is listed
in Tune-In radio directory, there has to be
continuous streaming of the audio content.
