Store-and-forward architecture

Three steps.
Zero silence.

WAVFlow6 NXT does not stream. It programmes, caches, and plays — so every branch sounds right whether or not the internet is up.

01

Programme centrally

Build your entire schedule from one dashboard — by branch, zone, and daypart. Set the Christmas playlist to start in September, the payday-weekend energy mix to kick in on the 15th, and the morning-opening ambient to fade in at 9am. One change, every branch.

Schedules are compiled server-side and pushed as a structured playlist package — not a live stream.

Cache locally

Each WAVFlow6 device downloads the upcoming schedule and audio files ahead of time — typically during the 3am maintenance window, never mid-song and never mid-shift. The device holds enough content to play for days without a connection.

Audio is stored on the device's local storage. Playback reads from disk, not from the internet.

Play regardless

When the store opens, the device plays from its local cache. Internet up, internet down — the schedule runs. The right mood, the right brand, the right programme. Every branch. Every time.

If connectivity returns mid-day, the device syncs any missed updates for the next cycle.

When streaming fails

What happens when the internet goes down?

For streaming services, the answer is silence. For WAVFlow6 NXT, the answer is: nothing changes.

ISP outage on payday weekend

StreamingSilence. Or worse — an error tone looping.
NXTPlays the payday-weekend energy mix from cache. Uninterrupted.

Router reset by IT at 2pm

StreamingBuffering, dropout, or silence until reconnected.
NXTNo change. Device is reading from local storage, not the router.

Typhoon knocks out fibre for 3 days

StreamingThree days of silence across all affected branches.
NXTThree days of correct, scheduled audio from cache.

Built for the Philippines

Philippine retail runs on a different calendar.

WAVFlow6 NXT has 23 years of Philippine retail context built in — not bolted on.

9-month Christmas season

The Philippines starts Christmas in September. WAVFlow6 NXT has a built-in Philippine retail calendar — the Christmas playlist transitions automatically, no manual override required.

Payday windows (15th & 30th)

Foot traffic spikes on the 15th and 30th. Programme a higher-energy mix for those windows — it activates automatically across every branch, whether or not the internet is up.

Typhoon and weather disruptions

Philippine weather is unpredictable. Store-and-forward means a typhoon that kills your ISP does not kill your in-store audio. The device plays from cache until connectivity returns.

Multi-timezone branch estate

Branches across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao operate in different local contexts. Schedules are compiled per-branch — the right programme plays at the right local time.

Update discipline: 3am local, every night

Updates happen when your store is asleep.

WAVFlow6 NXT syncs new schedules and audio during a 3am maintenance window — local time, per branch. Never mid-song. Never mid-shift. Never while a customer is standing in front of a speaker.

3am local

Sync window is per-branch, in local time. Cebu syncs at 3am Cebu time. Davao at 3am Davao time.

Never mid-song

Updates are applied between tracks. The current track always completes before any schedule change takes effect.

Missed sync? No problem.

If a branch misses a sync window, it plays from its existing cache. The next successful sync catches it up.
