Digital Audio Broadcasting
What is Digital Audio Broadcasting?
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is a new innovation that can give you DVD quality sound from a radio station.
It lets you tune into your favourite radio stations without the interference and limitations that historically undermine listener experience.
Digital Radio Transforms Listening
Although you're listening to a radio broadcast, you can still have the sound experience you've come to expect from audio/visual applications.
Kordia’s digital auto broadcast technology has exceptionally high quality sound. It also has other features that will transform the face of radio. You’ll:
- No longer need to remember a radio frequency to tune in; just the station name
- Have audio quality that is on par with DVD sound
- Experience a radio reception that is vastly improved over traditional radio
- Have access to scrolling text information providing programme information, track listings, news, headlines and weather reports
- Have a wider choice of free-to-air shows and programme highlights
This new technology is turning the radio medium on its head. It is providing benefits for not just the listener; but also broadcasters, advertisers and retailers.
Digital Audio Broadcasting roll-out in Australia
The commercial radio industry will invest an estimated $400m in launching digital radio in Australia over the next few years. This will enable digital audio broadcasting to compete more effectively against new and emerging technologies.
The Federal Government in Australia has given the industry a launch date of 1 January 2009 for six capital cities in Australia. There will be a rollout in major regional areas expected to follow soon after.
Digital Audio Broadcasting trials
As part of this roll-out, we've become involved in a substantial number of digital radio trials.
There are trials currently underway in Sydney and Canberra, Australia. Similar trials are also underway in West Auckland and Wellington, New Zealand.
