RadioScape Opening Hong Kong Development Center

London, UK – RadioScape, a provider of digital audio and multimedia broadcast and receiver technology is opening a new Development Centre in the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park. The new Centre will be located at No.1 Science Park West Avenue, Hong Kong Science and Technology Park, Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong.

The Development Centre will focus on new technologies such as Mobile TV solutions. RadioScape currently supplies thirteen DMB systems for major Chinese conurbations, representing approximately 90% of the Mobile TV market in China.

"This Mobile TV solution is based on the Eureka 147, DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast) standard with an additional layer of error correction to ensure robust performance for DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcast) or DAB-IP (DAB Internet Protocol)," added Phil Smith, RadioScape's Senior VP Sales & Operations. "DAB-IP was cited by many leading technology companies such as Microsoft at the recent 3GSM conference as being a key enabling technology for Mobile TV deployment as it is proven in the field, robust and there are frequencies already available in many countries."

The office in Hong Kong enables RadioScape to be close to the customer base for its range of digital radio modules, which is predominately in China. As a result, the team can be very responsive to customer requests, both in their language and in their time zone, to ensure that product deliverables precisely meet their requirements. The two centre operation of Hong Kong and London provides the ability to take advantage of the time difference in that London can take over projects whilst Hong Kong sleeps to give continuous, 24 hours a day project development and support.
