Imagination Technologies Supports 'Much Needed' Government plans for Digital Radio

Imagination sees digital technologies as very strategic to both the industry and the UK as a whole and has been investing significantly in key broadcast and audio technologies. Its communications and processor cores are used in the majority of DAB digital radios, supplied by many brands. PURE, the world-leading radio maker, is a division of Imagination and has been a key force for innovation and progress in this sector.

Says Hossein Yassaie, CEO, Imagination: As Europe, Australia and other territories worldwide are now accelerating their plans for digital radio, the UK can be proud to be the leader in the development and roll out of these technologies. As with any new technology deployment, what is most required is certainty to further drive this technology into products across the mobile, consumer and automotive markets. Following this much needed announcement we are confident that our licensing partners in the digital broadcast market, their customers amongst the leading radio OEMs, and our PURE consumer brand, will now be able to implement innovative roadmaps and products in full confidence and at an accelerated pace.
