RadioScape announces immediate plans to supportDigital Radio switch-on in France

Follows Ministerial Decree for multi-standard Digital Radio roll-outincluding DRM

London, UK - 19 March 2007 RadioScape announced today that it will immediately extend its current multi-standard radio product line to support all digital standards required for the French market. This will enable the development of multi-standard radio receivers capable of supporting DAB based standards including T-DMB and DAB+, as well as DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale), and current analogue standards AM and FM.

On March 12th, 2007, Industry Minister, Mr François Loos, issued a ministerial decree for the transition to Digital Radio in France based on a multi-standard approach. The AM band (short,medium and long wave) will experience a renewal through the adoption of digital standard, DRM. In addition, the T-DMB implementation of the DAB standard will be used in both Band III and L-Band, with the likely incorporation of the recently announced DAB+ standard.

John Hall, RadioScape's CEO, commented: "This is a breakthrough moment for the French radiomarket. Finally, the transition to digital has begun and, as expected, both DAB and DRM standard sare joint winners. We will support both the receivers market with our multi-standard module product line, as well as the broadcast market with our proven DAB broadcast systems. Given our significant experience in DAB and DRM standards we are uniquely positioned to enable the French market to go digital."
