Frontier Silicon, the leading supplier of digital radio and connected audio technology has announced that its products and developments have become a significant factor in a large number of initiatives in radio which are showcased at IBC this year. This demonstrates the depth of Frontier Silicon’s activities in advanced radio technologies, including DAB/DAB+, DRM30/DRM+, hybrid radio and networked audio.

At IBC various DAB/DAB+ products using Frontier Silicon technology, including devices using colour touch-screen technology, are on show at the WorldDMB stand.

Interest in hybrid radio, the combination of broadcast and IP delivery for radio services, is growing within the broadcaster community and RadioDNS has developed a set of standards which are being adopted to bring the benefits of hybrid radio technology to the consumer. As a member of the RadioDNS organisation, Frontier Silicon is demonstrating product implementations of RadioVIS, the first commercial application of RadioDNS, on the EBU stand.

 

Early implementations of DRM30 and DRM+ digital radio standards running on Frontier Silicon’s Kino 3 radio processor, the most broadly used digital radio IC on the market today, are being demonstrated during IBC at various locations during the show. The DRM standards have been developed to address the digital radio needs of developing economies, and All India Radio has already announced its intention to use DRM30 as a significant part of its digitisation plans.

 

Frontier Silicon is also sponsoring the DLNA presence at IBC. Consumer awareness of DLNA is rapidly increasing, as network connectivity finds its way into an increasing number of audio and video devices. Frontier Silicon’s range of modules and software for networked audio products is fully DLNA-compliant and provides manufacturers with a fast time-to-market option for including this technology into table-top radios, micro hi-fi systems and iPhone dockers.
