AMSTERDAM, Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- A major advance in cloud-based radio broadcasting will be announced at IBC2015 with the unveiling of two new intertwined services.

Backbone Co-Host(TM) and LUCI Global® are the two radio "backhaul" services introduced by Backbone Networks Corp. and Technica Del Arte BV. When married together, they allow talk radio stations to produce live programming--contributed from anywhere in the world with the simplest of equipment and no physical infrastructure.

"We at Fantasy Sports Network use Backbone Co-Host and LUCI Global to connect live with our geographically distributed FNTSY hosts and field correspondents," said Michael Cardano, Senior Business Administrator. "It's amazing to get such crystal clear audio from remote events using just an iPhone."

LUCI Global is a cloud-based evolution of the company's popular LUCI Live multiplatform IP audio reportage software. LUCI Global enables a community of reporters, radio guests and co-hosts to contribute to broadcasts of any station listed in the LUCI Global directory, via 4G or wi-fi., using a free iOS app from the iTunes App Store. Upcoming versions will be available for Android and other devices.

Backbone Co-Host is a cloud-based radio backhaul and production service for the radio station that manages incoming feeds using Apple Mac-based producer/screener software. Co-Host allows multiple hosts, guests and reporters to conference with each other, and also with listeners who call into the station's phone system (Backbone Talk(TM)).
