Satellite Digital Radio

 
 
 
 

Digital radio broadcast via satellite provides a means for delivering of high-quality audio channels plus associated services to fixed and mobile receivers. Satellite Digital Radio will deliver tens of high-quality audio channels with associated services, and is already proving successful in the United States.

In 2006, ETSI produced the first technical specifications to enable the provision of satellite digital radio systems in Europe. The specifications include gap-fillers providing complementary terrestrial coverage in specific areas, such as dense urban environment, where the satellite-only reception quality of service is not adequate.

The following is a list of recently published and frequently downloaded standards. Please use the ETSI Work Programme to find further related standards.
