DAB+ is going to beat FM... are you prepared?





Mandatory for cars to have DAB+ by 2020

DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a technology that has seen major developments in recent years.

DAB radio dates back to the late nineties, but since then the technology behind it has made major strides. DAB+ is essentially the next step and the successor to standard digital radio.

An upcoming EECC Directive dictates that all new car radios in the EU are to be able to receive digital terrestrial radio by the end of 2020. Additionally, many countries have already began phasing out the use of FM broadcasting in favour of switching over to DAB+ systems. 

Ensure that your vehicles are ahead of the curve and ready for these latest developments.

When your car, truck, forklift or other vehicle is outfitted with this technology poor radio reception will most assuredly be a thing of the past. In addition; DAB+ also provides a superior sound quality.

The main benefit of DAB+ radio is that it makes far more efficient use of the available bandwidth used to send out and receive radio signals. Up to three times more than older systems, in fact. This means a higher standard of audio quality for listeners as well as the possibility for a greater amount of radio stations due to more bandwidth being freed up.

DAB+ also provides a more reliable reception that standard digital radio, making it less likely that the signal will cut out while you are listening.

The quality of the listening experience whilst making use of DAB+ radio is influenced by a number of different factors including through what means a station is making its broadcast. To ensure perfect reception of available DAB+ channels in most countries a Combi Antenna Mast or Shark Fin Antenna is required. Provide a perfectly integrated DAB+ solution and make sure that everyone is able to enjoy the full benefits of digital radio!
