From Radio to Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting
DMB turns DAB into a multimedia platform
The European Telecommunications Standards Institute - or ETSI - has defined the DMB standard, taking another important step towards utilizing the technological possibilities of the DAB platform even more effectively.
Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) is an extension of the DAB standard that enables the reliable transmission of audio and video in the same data stream, i.e. digital radio and video can be received everywhere, even on the move. DMB is the only fully mobile-capable standard in the world that covers all broadcasting (radio, TV, and data) needs between 30 MHz and 3 GHz. The full press release from IMDR is available here.

Bonn: The head of the Saarland Supervisory Authority responsible for Private Broadcasters (Landesmedienanstalt), Dr. Gerd Bauer, together with the Head of the Saarland State Chancellery, Minister Karl Rauber, representing the state government, presented the new L band in Saarland today.
The new broadcasters took the opportunity at the well-attended event to present their program concept and the target groups involved. Without exception, the programs can only be received via DAB in the coverage area, thus laying the foundation for successfully marketing digital radio. The various formats address very different target groups, which are defined not only by their tastes in music, but also especially by other common interests or cultural affiliations. A second key programming aspect thus becomes apparent, namely the opportunity for niche radio. The complete IMDR (Initiative Marketing Digital Radio) press release can be found here.

IMDR comments on radio broadcasts via T-DVB
Bonn: The Berlin initiative to broadcast radio programs on a regular basis via T-DVB in the future will open up yet another distribution path for radio, as has already been the case with cable, satellite and the Internet. These latter distribution paths are only being marginally used, however, because they do not meet consumers' mobility expectations for radio. This will also hold true for T-DVB. This distribution channel will therefore never present a challenge to the main radio distribution paths - VHF and, in the future, DAB/DMB - or even become a serious contender. Radio is attractive due to its local and regional character, which is in line with program provider structures and the coverage areas of VHF and, in the future, DAB. While the Berlin initiative can map the central radio structures of Berlin, radio broadcasts via T-DVB are not in tune with market conditions in the large states, where listeners have strong regional and local ties. The complete IMDR press release can be found here.

Frankfurt am Main: T-Systems will transmit current departure times of buses and trains to some 500 stops for the VGF (Verkehrsgesellschaft Frankfurt) transport company. Screens and spoken announcements will inform customers more quickly about different travel times and special journeys in the Frankfurt local transport network from fall 2005. The new digital system will simultaneously transmit data for screens, scrolling text and voice and will replace the analog information network. It will also supply more stops than previously.
The T-Systems solution processes data from the transport center and transmits it to the stops every second. The signals for departure times, individual scrolling text and spoken announcements reach their destination through the air. T-Systems uses technology for digital radio - called Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB). Hesse Digital Radio's (HDR) broadcasting network supplies stops with a data rate of two times eight kilobits per second.
With some 2,300 employees, VGF is the largest public transport company in Hesse and carries over 150 million passengers annually.

The results of the study, which focused on Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB), Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial (DVB T) and Digital Video Broadcasting Handheld (DVB-H), are now available:
- Of all the systems that were looked at, none is currently able to fully map the familiar VHF radio structures and usage patterns. Thus, the introduction of digital radio transmission systems will necessarily entail structural changes.
- At present, only the standardized DAB system with all components is available for digitization of radio broadcasting under normal operational conditions. It is also the system that is best adapted to VHF usage patterns so far.
