RadioScape Again Chosen for Mobile TV Broadcast Systems

RadioScape, a world leader in digital audio and multimedia broadcast and receiver technology, has once again been selected to provide the broadcast technology for another Mobile TV trial. Building on the success seen in the UK of the pilot DAB-IP service of BT Movio, which used RadioScape’s technology, and the joint trial by RTÉ, BT Movio and RadioScape in Dublin, the Centre of Excellence for Digital Broadcasting (CoEfDB) has just implemented a similar service on one of its four RadioScape Multiplexes in the Netherlands.Willem Toerink of CoEfDB said, “RadioScape uses a very stable architecture of Internet Protocol (IP) to control content and internal communication within the multiplex. This has proved to be very reliable and has served us well over the past year on our four RadioScape DAB multiplexes. We are now taking DAB on to its logical next step of delivering Data and Mobile TV reliably to mobile handsets using DAB-IP.”RadioScape has a long established track record of providing DAB broadcasting systems including the world’s largest commercial DAB installation, which is located in the UK. It is also a leading provider of digital radio test equipment and receiver modules. This maturity, experience, and unique end-to-end systems knowledge is positioning RadioScape as the provider of choice for Mobile TV broadcasts based on the proven technology of DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) using DAB-IP. RadioScape already has over nine DMB installations in major Chinese conurbations and is providing equipment for various trials around the world. This includes the DMB/DAB-IP Mobile TV trial in the UK that was announced on the 5th of June 2006, for which RadioScape is supplying broadcast systems for T-DMB and DAB-IP as well as an L-band COFDM DAB encoder.
