Digital Radio: Turning Up the Volume on Satellite and Terrestrial Radio Adoption

Summary

Digital radio is the general term for audio services that are broadcasted in a digital format on either a satellite platform, or a terrestrial platform, such as Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB).

The growth in satellite radio adoption is driving digital radio shipments in the US. In other regions, most notably in the UK, the growth in terrestrial DAB adoption is driving digital radio shipments. The launch of Digital Multimedia Broadcast (DMB) services in Japan and Korea, along with increased promotional activity in Singapore, Australia and Taiwan, will drive digital radio shipments in Asia.
