wcom and JumpGo Develop RDS.0 Encoder

2wcom and jump2go have joined forces to produce the first RDS2 encoder appropriately named the RDS2.0 Encoder.

Designed for all RDS2 applications (the new industry standard introduced in 2015), the compact RDS2.0 Encoder is backward compatible with existing RDS receivers. The release of this innovative unit represents a giant step forward in data transmission technology.

The RDS2.0 Encoder is the first RDS encoder to feature an internal FM receiver for the verification of all RDS activities. Real-time configuration and monitoring of the encoders activity is available via web interfaces as part of Jump2Gos data management system.

RDS2 technology uses three additional data subcarriers in addition to the existing carrier, and reduces many limitations of the existing RDS standard by increasing the usable data transmission capacity by a factor of 10 to 20. This permits station identifiers to reach a maximum of 32 characters versus the current eight characters. The new standard also supports non-Western Europe languages through UTF-8 encoding, which improves TMC delivery to allow for much more detailed urban and regional traffic information and even graphical station logos.

RDS2 will also play a significant role in the ongoing development of the connected car, with its service following method of broadcasting a URL for the stations online stream. Future radio stations will be able to stream as the FM signal becomes unavailable.

Both Jump2Go and 2wcom are pioneers in RDS system advancement, and this partnership brings together knowledge, competence, German-made quality and first-class customer orientation. Today data transport is a fundamental business, and this release will allow broadcasters to easily meet changing RDS requirements, said Werner Drews, managing director of 2wcom.
