Chip Seen as Boost to DAB Abroad

Digital radios in Europe may soon be available for as little as $140, according to companies making a new digital chip for that market.
Digital One and Imagination Technologies are offering the DBX-1 chip. Its first customer is the manufacturer Goodmans, which will use the processor in six radio products in the second half of next year.
The CEO of Digital One said Goodman’s commitment to DAB is “the most significant announcement by any manufacturer in five years. At last, a full range of digital radios will be available to consumers who increasingly look for value in their products.”
