About DAB/DAB+/DMB

What is DAB?
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is the third generation
broadcasting technology following the traditional analogue
technologies such as FM. The advantages of DAB include being more
robust with regard to noise, interference, instability, etc., during radio
signal transmission. Also, it can provide stereo CD-quality sound and
digital information, and it can resist multipath interference
guaranteeing high-quality reception for fixed, portable and mobile
devices.
What is DAB+?
WorldDMB, the organisation in charge of the DAB standards,
announced DAB+, a major upgrade to the DAB standard in 2006,
when the HE-AAC v2 audio codec (also known as eAAC+) was
adopted. The new standard, which is called DAB+, has also adopted
the MPEG Surround audio format and stronger error correction
coding in the form of Reed-Solomon coding. DAB+ has been
standardised as ETSI TS 102 563.
What is DMB?
DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) is a future-orientated, new
generation broadcasting system based on DAB (Digital Audio
Broadcasting). Where DAB upgraded the traditional analogue sound
of FM to a CD-quality level, DMB advances simple sound
broadcasting to the multimedia arena, striving to provide a visual
service while transmitting high-quality sound. Users include
entertainment programmes, intellectual traffic navigation, electronic
newspapers and magazines, information provided by financial
markets, the Internet, and integrated city information. It can be
widely used by mobile carriers such as buses, taxis, light railways,
underground railways, trains, ferries, airports, and by all kinds of
people in the home and office.
