Leading Broadcasters, Radio Manufacturers and Wireless Applications Developers to Meet October 18th to Discuss Digital Radio Datacasting Standards

New Orleans, LA -- NAB Radio Show (September 6, 2001) - iBiquity Digital Corporation, the sole developer and licenser of digital In-Band-On Channel (IBOC) AM and FM radio broadcast technology in the U.S., announced plans to hold its first Digital Radio Wireless Data Conference on October 18th at the Pontchartrain Hotel in Detroit. The Conference is being held in Detroit at the same time as the Digital Car Show attended by major automotive electronics and telematics suppliers.

Today, radio in the United States is broadcast using analog signals. iBiquity Digital's AM and FM digital broadcasting technology will enable today's radio stations to transmit a digital signal capable of delivering wireless data to receivers for a variety of consumer applications, including on-demand news, weather and traffic information, multimedia files, enhanced advertising and much more. In the future, in-vehicle and home digital radio receivers and potentially a host of non-traditional radio receivers, such as personal digital assistants and smart phones will receive wireless data transmitted by AM and FM digital radio broadcasters.

The Digital Radio Wireless Data Conference launches iBiquity's efforts to work with industry participants to define the standards for formatting and presenting wireless data using iBiquity's technology. The standardization effort will enable automakers, broadcasters, radio manufacturers, retailers, and wireless applications developers to design and deploy data applications that can reach a wide variety of digital radio receiving devices.

"The iBiquity team is dedicated to working with broadcasters to develop data services that maximize the value of digital AM and FM radio," said Patrick M. Walsh, Vice President, Wireless Data Business Development, iBiquity Digital Corporation. "The Digital Radio Wireless Data Conference will offer all participants an early look at the types of services enabled by digital radio and allow them to actively participate in working with iBiquity to define the standards for delivering digital radio services."
