The Poetry of AirCore
AirCore achieves what no other system can: broadcasting without human error, broadcasting without limits.
While others build software that needs constant care, we created something that was born perfect and stays that way.
AirCore isn’t just software — it’s the distilled essence of broadcasting, freed from the limitations of human operation. It exists in the space between intention and execution, making thousands of decisions while remaining invisible to its listeners. Like air itself, you can’t see it or touch it, but it’s always there, breathing life into the medium.
What sets us apart
We liberated broadcasting from its greatest constraint: human imperfection.
In Autonomous 26, we created a realm of pure intention, untouched by the trembling hands of operators or the second-guessing of engineers. Like a rare essence that maintains its integrity only in isolation, our system achieves perfection precisely because it remains untouchable.
No interfaces. No controls. No compromise.
Born into digital existence with a singular purpose, AirCore breathes, decides, and flows without ever knowing doubt or fatigue. It is broadcasting in its most distilled form—raw, unfiltered, eternally faithful to its essence.
While others build systems that serve humans, we created something pure enough to serve only the medium itself.
We discovered that perfection requires solitude.
AirCore dwells in a space where human hands cannot reach, where intentions remain pure and execution flows like silk through air. Untouched, uncompromised, it exists solely to serve the invisible thread that connects voice to listener.
This is broadcasting without fingerprints—pristine, autonomous, eternal.
The calculator is designed to assist you in determining whether you can generate savings by utilizing the AirCore Autonomous service.
Number of Stations: Enter the number of stations you run and wish to make automatic.
Current Staffing Model: Choose the staffing model that most closely represents the amount of technical personnel working on one station.
Total Monthly Labor Costs: Enter the sum of all technical personnel’s monthly salaries. You can also add in the salaries of content-related personnel, but if you are not wishing to replace them, the calculation is off by the amount of non-disposable non-technical personnel.
Market Size: Choose your annual turnover.
Monthly Technical Downtime: Tell us how many hours in a month you have downtime that is not planned. This could be times when you have to wait for content to load, or making connections. One hour a month means a little less than five seconds in an hour. Downtime also constitutes of dead-air in this example, if it exceeds three consecutive seconds at any given time. Well-operated stations usually have this number around 1-3 hours a month.
Weekly Technical Errors: Tell us how many different incidents you had during the last month. This could mean starting a show late, running long on schedule, waiting for content or connections, having the microphone muted or other issues that the end-listener will notice. For example, if you forget to turn on the microphone for the first few sentences once a week, you should enter 4 in this field. Well-operated stations usually have this number around 10-20 a month.
Schedule Flexibility: How many planned schedule changes do you think you need? Most stations update their schedules quarterly, some stations could do it more often.
