The technology also provides a platform for new wireless data services that, combined with display screens on HD Radio-enabled receivers, will deliver listeners a variety of additional information such as song titles, artist names, traffic updates, weather forecasts, sports scores, and more.
Dyan Brasington, President of the Tech Council of Maryland says, "With products ranging from CD's and DVD's to cameras and cell phones now employing digital technology, AM and FM radio is the last major analog communications medium."
iBiquity Digital Corporation is the sole developer of HD Radio™ technology which promises to transform today's analog radio to digital, enabling radically upgraded sound and new wireless data services. This technology was recently honored as "IT Product of the Year” by the Tech Council of Maryland.
The commercial rollout of HD Radio technology began in 2003 when AM and FM stations around the country began digital broadcasting and continued with the launch of HD Radio receivers at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2004.
More than 300 radio stations in over 100 U.S. markets across 39 states have licensed HD Radio technology and are live, or in the process of going live, with digital broadcasts.
