Radio recently installed one of the largest networked audio systems in
Asia at the Foshan Media Group facility in Foshan, Guangdong Province,
China.
Audio Design Company, Ltd. of Hong Kong and Beijing spearheaded this
record project which included: two WheatNET® 2464 24-port router
hubs in a dual auto-failover configuration, four Bridge routers, two
Bridge satellite routers, one remote transmission site Bridge satellite
router connected via a 2Km fiber link, two G-5 20-fader control
surfaces, one G-4 20-fader control surface, one G-3 12-fader control

Foshan Radio has been a
client of Wheatstone for over a decade. Back in December 2003, the
Central Government of China and the Foshan Government decided to
establish the Foshan Media Group, which combined the region’s media
formats.
Tsang stated that Foshan required a “powerful, not too complicated and stable network system.”

2004, Radio Foshan began searching for equipment for their new
facility. Mark Tsang of Audio Design Company Ltd. reported, “at
the NAB show that same year, several of Radio Foshan’s engineers
visited the Wheatstone booth and were immediately impressed with
Wheatstone’s G series digital radio consoles.”

stations:Nanhai Radio, Shunde Radio, Gaoming Radio and Sanshui Radio,
giving Foshan Radio 6 FM channels which are: FM94.6 Information, FM98.5

Theaters divisions. Total assets equal 2.1 billion Yuan, making the
Foshan Group the largest, regional cross-media enterprise in China.
