On the design of FM broadcasting remote monitoring system

Abstract

In a country like Indonesia which still uphold eastern culture and religion norm, the content of FM broadcasting stations considered important for mentality development of the society. A committee on broadcasting in Indonesia has been established which has duty, among others, to manage complains on negative broadcasting content (actually not only FM broadcasting). In every province, there is similar committee. The local province committee responsibility is mostly covers a wide geographical area. Currently, the commissioners must visit the FM broadcasting studios in regents reside in a province to compile evidence when complains from society arise. In this paper, we propose a system to remotely monitor the content of FM broadcasting stations. By using this system, commissioners do not have to visit the stations complained by the society. They can monitor the broadcasting content from headquarter. Thus the proposed system offers cheaper solution than existing one.
