What is HD Radio™
Technology?

Federal Communications Commission in
October 2002 as the system for digital AM and
FM broadcasting in the U.S.
HD Radio technology features include:
– Static-free, clear radio reception.
– FM Multicasting – the ability to broadcast
multiple program streams over a single FM
frequency.
– A variety of “data services,” including text-based
information – artist name, song title, etc.
scrolled across your receiver display.
– Digital broadcasts in the same frequencies as
analog broadcasts; listeners do not need to learn
a new station number and today’s stations
remain at their current place on the dial.

by iBiquity Digital Corporation and supported by
the leaders of the broadcasting, consumer
electronics and automotive industries.
