DAB Transmitter Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing adoption of digital radio technology

DAB uses higher frequencies than FM, and thus, there can be a need to compensate with more transmitters to accomplish the same coverage as a single FM transmitter. A Various company normally transmits DAB from the broadcaster, who then sells the capacity to several number of radio stations. A DAB tuner can also be used as a Bluetooth speaker and an alarm clock radio. With a DAB radio, users can receive all radio stations, and users are no longer dependent on reception. Several modern radio stations are also switching to DAB. So they can no longer receive them via an FM radio.
