As part of a larger effort to improve telemetry link availability, the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) is currently in the process of upgrading its telemetry receivers. As YPG begins integrating new receivers into existing range infrastructure, the question of where to place these receivers to provide maximum benefit must be considered. Should the receivers be placed at each of the remote antennas or should they be centrally located at the primary telemetry site? Although many Telemetry-over-Internet Protocol (TMoIP) and radio frequency (RF) over fiber solutions exist to transport these data, there are numerous concerns including network and Cybersecurity limitations to consider when implementing either of these approaches. This paper will document the trade study conducted at YPG to explore the benefits of each approach.

Nowadays, keeping up to technological convergence it is resetting up accordingly to new digital trends. This present dissertation brings observations about the radio under the ecosystemic point-of-view in Internet times. In order to deal with the subject, it begins with the willingness in accepting the radio through it specific language (voice, music, sound effects and silence) regardless the technological platform in which it is bound, as defined by Ferraretto and Kischnhevsky. The research objective was to understand the radio medium inserted in the Internet environment as autopoietic system of contemporaneity. In order to do so, first, the structural and technological changes and transformations it suffered when it was inserted on the web were described. Subsequently, two different types of online radios were chosen: radio in the web and web radio to introduce the aspects about message, reception, market and regulation. This stage was done through the observation of the most listened radios via Internet registered on radios.com.br. From then on, with the theoretical mark based on Niklas Luhmann Social Systems Theory and on the inductive method, it was pointed which couplings and autopoiesis the radio has been put through in the online world. As a result it was identified that the web radio as well as podcast are originated from auto reference and structural couplings that the radio did in order to keep itself alive in an evolved way in the digital environment. / O rádio desde o seu surgimento se apresentou como importante meio de comunicação da sociedade moderna. Nos dias atuais, com a convergência tecnológica vem se reconfigurando para estar de acordo com as novas tendências da era digital. A presente dissertação traz observações sobre o rádio sob o ponto de vista ecossistêmico em tempos de internet. Para tratar do assunto, parte-se da predisposição em aceitar o rádio por meio da sua linguagem específica (voz, música, efeitos sonoros e silêncio) independente da plataforma tecnológica ao qual está vinculada, conforme definição de Ferraretto e Kischnhevsky. O objetivo da pesquisa era entender o meio radiofônico no ambiente da internet como um sistema autopoiético da contemporaneidade. Para tanto, primeiramente, se descreveu as mudanças e transformações estruturais e tecnológicas pelo qual sofreu ao ser inserido na web. Em seguida, foram escolhidos dois tipos de rádio on-line, rádio na web e web rádio, para apresentar os aspectos sobre a mensagem, a recepção, o mercado e a regulamentação. Esta etapa foi realizada através da observação das rádios mais escutadas via internet registrada pelo portal radios.com.br. A partir de então, com o marco teórico baseado na Teoria dos Sistemas Sociais de Niklas Luhmann e o método indutivo, foram apontados quais acoplamentos e autopoieses o rádio se submeteu no mundo em rede. Como resultado identificou-se que a web rádio, assim como o podcast são originados da autorreferência e acoplamentos estruturais que o rádio fez para manter-se vivo de maneira evoluída no ambiente digital.
