iBiquity Digital Corporation, the developer and licenser of digital HD Radio technology, has announced that Brazilian broadcasters have formed the Brazilian Alliance for Digital Radio to promote and support the deployment of HD Radio technology in that country.
The announcement is the latest development in the country’s increasingly rapid adoption of the HD Radio system. There are 16 stations in Brazil broadcasting with HD Radio technology to a coverage area of 30 million people.
Substantial HD Radio field test data obtained from these major radio networks such as Brazilian Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters (ABERT) and the Association of Broadcasters of Sao Paulo (AESP) was presented at the Brazilian society of Engineering of Television and Telecommunications (SET) convention in September. Numerous HD Radio operation reports have been presented to Brazilian regulatory authorities.
In addition to Brazil and the United States, the list of countries deploying or testing HD Radio technology now includes Australia, Canada, France, Indonesia, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, Poland, Switzerland, Thailand and Ukraine.
