What is the future for FM broadcasting? Won it be replaced by digital radio?
We don’t think so. Digital radio (DAB) is inherently power hungry. Because of the way DAB signals are transmitted the electronics used in a DAB receiver has to be of a very high quality and consume a lot of power. FM reception, on the other hand can be accomplished with a relatively simple circuit and as we have demonstrated with the Invro FM Radio can be achieved with very little power consumption. If FM broadcasting stopped a great section of the world’s population would be disenfranchised from affordable broadcasting.
