WorldDAB launches emergency alert receivers at #IBC25
At the IBC conference in Amsterdam last week, WorldDAB demonstrated the new DAB+ Automatic Safety Alerts (ASA) system. Explaining the enhanced feature for DAB Radios, Lindsay Cornell, Principal Systems Architect at the BBC and Chair of the WorldDAB Technical Committee explained that the receivers are geosensitive so that they will know where they are and only wake up if the emergency is in their location. “We developed a standard with the greatest functionality across all receivers… they are certified through a testing lab,” said Cornell. “The new ASA enabled receivers are coming into the shops over the next few months, showing the speed that the industry is reacting to the new standard and producing new receivers.”
