Based on radiOS(TM) architecture and Texas Instruments' TMS320DRM350 DSP-based baseband, Model RS500(TM) can receive Digital Radio Mondiale(TM) as well as Digital Audio Broadcast, FM with RDS, LW, MW, and SW to form basis for integrated, multi-standard, digital radio receiver. It supports capabilities such as pause, rewind, and record to MMC card, as well as ability to display and use electronic program guide data.

Enables world's first affordable, integrated, multi-standard, digital radios to be created

London, UK - 1, June 2005 - RadioScape, the world leader in Software Defined Digital Radio solutions, has launched the RadioScape RS500(TM) module that can receive DRM(TM) (Digital Radio Mondiale(TM)) as well as DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast), FM with RDS, LW, MW and SW to form the basis of the world's first affordable, integrated, multi-standard, digital radio receivers. The RS500 is based on RadioScape's innovative radiOS(TM) architecture, enabling re-use of existing applications and features previously developed for the RS300L(TM) DAB/FM module. Many of the innovative features available on the RS300L have been directly implemented on this module, accelerating time to market for a fully featured receiver design. The RS500, for example, immediately supports capabilities such as the highly popular Pause, Rewind and Record to MMC card features as well as the ability to display and use Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) data.

"Because we create our modules using radiOS -- our own advanced Software Defined radio architecture," explained Andrew Moloney, Marketing Manager for Receivers at RadioScape, "it has been possible for us to add DRM in an affordable and user friendly form to our existing range of receiver capabilities. The RS500 is size and pin compatible with our very successful RS300L enabling radio manufacturers to migrate existing designs to the RS500, rapidly bringing to market ranges of receivers, which include DRM-capable designs, in time to catch the pre Christmas 2005 sales."
