2wcom is adding support for the Time-Addressable Media Store, or TAMS, approach to its broadcast audio portfolio. TAMS stores media in object storage and exposes time-based access, allowing an application to request a defined portion of a recording rather than download an entire file.
The company is connecting that model to its physical audio devices and the software-based MoIN platform. This creates a bridge between cloud-native storage, contribution and conventional broadcast I/O. The same source can remain centrally managed while different production services retrieve only the intervals they require.
For radio and newsroom operations, the design can reduce transfer volume and waiting time around long-running feeds. It also encourages applications to exchange standardised time references and metadata instead of creating multiple unmanaged copies. The value depends on interoperable implementations rather than a proprietary client tied to one storage service.
The overview confirms 2wcom’s integration direction and use of object storage. It does not publish supported TAMS profile versions, authentication methods, caching, edit accuracy, latency, scale tests or a list of interoperable third-party clients. Commercial availability and licensing details are also unclear.
