The NewsBoss Wires module keeps your NewsBoss system in touch with the outside world.

Receivers
More than just a “wire capture” system, Wires is a sophisticated communications module.  Wires can receive using standard serial ports, connections over the Internet, from email accounts, and from 3rd party file download software.  Almost 40 pre-configured wire services are ready to be installed at the click of a button – it’s that easy!  In the unlikely event that you need to connect to a wire service that we have not already configured, we will add it within a day or two.
NewsBoss users receive immediate notification when new stories arrive.  This feature is fully configurable at a site and user level, so you can be sure whoever is on duty will be notified when important stories arrive.  Users can customise their own notifications according to their role in the newsroom – that’s safety and flexibility!
 
Transmitters
Wires will also connect your NewsBoss to your affiliate sites, with options to connect using standard serial ports, the Internet, direct file transfer, or using FTP - sharing stories has never been easier!  You can reduce your wire feed costs by receiving your wire services at one site and using Wires to automatically distribute the stories and audio to other sites over the Internet.
This is a real money saver!
 

Done the right way…
Highly flexible and scalable, Wires can be run as a separate background application on small systems or, in larger systems with many links, on dedicated PCs.  This way Wires will not stop when a user closes NewsBoss.
That’s the way it should be!
