Digital radio
Frontier is the world’s leading provider of chips, modules and software for digital radios. Customers include Sony, Philips, Panasonic, Pure, Roberts, Grundig and numerous retailer own-brands.
The first countries to adopt digital radio successfully were the UK, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland and Australia. Norway and Switzerland were the first countries to confirm dates for Digital Switchover (DSO) - respectively 2017 and 2024. Digital radio received a significant boost in 2011, when Germany launched DAB+ services. Across Europe and beyond, the footprint of digital radio is poised for rapid expansion.
SmartRadio
Frontier’s leading SmartRadio modules combine DAB+, FM, Bluetooth with Internet Radio, Podcasts and audio streaming services including Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer. SmartRadios can be controlled with a Smartphone using the Frontier UNDOK™ application.
As the radio market evolves, SmartRadios provide the benefits of DAB+ to consumers plus the advantages of a wide choice of content being streamed over the Internet. Frontier expects the SmartRadio market to rapidly grow as consumers learn the benefits of combing DAB+ with audio streaming over the Internet.
