RadioScape shortens time to market for DAB products

Launch of first DAB ‘subsystem’ for Clock Radios

London, UK – 01 December 2006 - Building on the success of its award-winning DAB/FM modules, RadioScape has announced the RSC03 clock radio subsystem. It is the first of a new family of DAB subsystems and provides an even higher level of system integration for manufacturers. This reduces costs, design complexity, and most significantly, can substantially cut time-to-market for radio manufacturers in this product category.

Phil Smith, RadioScape’s Senior VP for Sales and Operations, said, “Increasing the level of integration has proved very popular with our customers, allowing them to fully evaluate the product on day one.” Another first for RadioScape is being able to offer a custom display to complement the subsystem. “Clock radios require something different to the LCDs commonly used on other DAB products and we have invested to support our customers with a large, easy to read display that is specially designed for clock radio applications.”

The RadioScape RSC03 is a complete DAB/FM clock radio subsystem that only requires an external DC power supply, speaker, LCD display, button board, and enclosure to complete the product. The need for a motherboard is eliminated as the power supply and audio amplifiers are fully integrated into the subsystem. This reduces the manufacturing steps to just one assembly run. Its construction and compact form factor makes it suitable for many enclosure designs.

The subsystem approach once again leverages RadioScape’s flexible software defined radio architecture, which enables customers to easily create product differentiation by changing and adding features via software as required. “This combination is unique to RadioScape and will allow our customers to bring products to market in less than 100 days,” added Smith.
