The WorldDMB Forum ? working towards the future of digital broadcasting
About WorldDMB
At the
WorldDMB
Forum we are responsible for defining the standards of the Eureka-147 family which includes
DAB
and
DAB+
for digital radio and
DMB
for radio and mobile TV.
Based in Geneva with our headquarters in London, our goal is to promote the awareness, adoption and implementation of these services around the world. We work with sound and data broadcasters, network providers, manufacturers, governments and official bodies to encourage international co-operation and a smooth, coordinated roll-out of services.
We are funded by our members from over 80 companies and organisations around the world which have a stake in seeing digital radio grow to an international mass market medium. They include public and private broadcasters, receiver and electronic equipment manufacturers, car manufacturers, data providers, transmission providers, regulators and government bodies.
Our work includes:
- Overseeing the Eureka 147 standard, ensuring compatibility between broadcast and receiver equipment; supervising upgrades, and future proofing the technology
- Offering guidance on the different regulatory approaches around the world, identifying a common regulatory framework and lobbying for available spectrum
- Promoting DAB, DAB+ and DMB technology through marketing campaigns and encouraging our members to do the same at a local level
- Monitoring and responding to EC policy on behalf of WorldDMB members
More than half a billion people around the world can receive DAB services from over 1,000 radio stations. Every year, more and more countries are bringing listeners the added choice, clarity and data services digital radio provides. WorldDMB is here to help make the transition from analogue to digital radio a smooth ride for all.
