Real-time traffic information coming to HD Radio June 6, 2006 11:16 |
Here's some good news. Amy Gilroy recently reported in TWICE (This Week in Consumer Electronics) that by the end of the year, Clear Channel will be delivering Real-time traffic information over HD Radio.
Moreover, HD Radio will allow Clear Channel to deliver the data almost twenty time faster than the RDS network via which Clear Channel is now running a real-time traffic service.
According to Clear Channel, the new HD radio service will launch in 48 markets this year with about 100 stations broadcasting HD traffic information. The company will eventually roll out this service to all its HD stations.
HD Radio based traffic modules will have a built-in HD Radio receiver.
The greater bandwidth in the HD radio signal is expected to enable enhanced services including weather forecast updates and point of interest (POI) updates.
Clear Channel says a significant number of suppliers are already offering real time traffic information, including Audiovox, TomTom, Garmin and Cobra
