[BC] Designing a four station RF STL system

[Bernie Courtney]

Assuming you are proficient enough with IP routing (or could find
somebody who is), you'd probably be better off trying to just build an
IP LAN from each of the tx sites to your 12 story building, then
combine those on your big pipe to go back to your studio, rather then
go from your studio to this building IP then convert to some other
form of audio for the 'last mile'- just keep it IP all the way and
eliminate any unnecessary gear in the middle.
