International Datacasting Corporation [TSX: IDC] today announced that PROFline B.V., their wholly owned subsidiary and base of operations in Europe, was selected by Talpa Radio, a leading Dutch broadcaster, to supply equipment to expand and upgrade the network infrastructure for two of their European radio stations — Radio 538 in the Netherlands and Radio 4FM in Belgium. Under this contract, PROFline will provide professional grade DVB satellite receivers which feature the latest in High Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding (MPEG 4 HE AAC) technology.
“We are very pleased that Talpa Radio has selected us to provide their next-generation network infrastructure,” said Ron Clifton, President and CEO of IDC. ”They are known in the industry for their quality broadcast coverage. This is an important reference for us as we roll-out our new MPEG 4 HE AAC product line and it helps us with our objective of becoming the leading provider of professional radio broadcasting systems throughout Europe”
Alexander Josiassen, Technical Director of Talpa Radio said, “We selected PROFline as our partner for the implementation of our first MPEG 4 HE AAC radio networks in the Netherlands and Belgium due to their reputation for quality and performance. We have 3 years of experience with the PROFline MPEG2 predecessor product in our Danish radio station, Radio100FM, and have been very pleased with their workmanship and support.”
“MPEG 4 HE AAC is quickly becoming the industry standard for professional radio content distribution due to its high quality of audio delivery at reduced bandwidth” said Berry Eskes, PROFLine’s Director of Marketing and Sales. “We are pleased to have our new products available at the right time and be at the forefront of the conversion to AAC that is now starting to happen in the radio broadcast market”
