DIGITAL RADIO & AUDIO

More than 6.5 million DAB digital radios have been shipped in the UK, and DAB is now in 15% of UK households. DAB has reinvigorated the now rapidly growing UK radio market and effectively replaced analogue radio. PURE kick-started the UK DAB market using products based on Imagination’s IP and produced by our licensee Frontier Silicon.

Imagination has approximately 70% of the DAB technology market. More than 250 end-user radio and digital audio products from many top tier brands use our META and ENSIGMA technologies. There is much more adoption yet to come, both with DAB and the new DAB+ standard, which we are one of the first to support.

We have a strong roadmap across digital radio and audio and will continue using DAB as one of our strategic markets to secure our leadership in home audio, whilst also encouraging convergence (since our technology also supports MP3, CD, etc.) and support for other digital broadcast standards like Internet radio.
