Frontier Silicon reaches 10 million milestone in DAB sales worldwide
Sales to double in the next three years driven by new market growth
London – 8th February 2010: Frontier Silicon, the leading supplier of DAB digital radio technology, announces that it has reached a record 10 million sales in DAB systems worldwide.
With over 12 million DAB units already in circulation – and with this total growing by more than two to three million per year – Frontier Silicon expects to reach 20 million sales in less than half the time it has taken to reach 10 million.
Despite DAB’s current absence in the United States, many US manufacturers are already capitalising on the growing DAB market, selling their home audio and iPod docking products into Europe and Australia with DAB as a “must-have” feature. In the UK, for example, it is now impossible to sell a radio product that does not support DAB.
Anthony Sethill, Chief Executive of Frontier Silicon, said:
“This landmark 10 million sales figure is a big step forward for DAB. Frontier Silicon systems are the most widely deployed in the world and this trend is set to continue as international take-up gathers pace. In our established and emerging markets, we’re ramping up investment in digital technology, delivering systems that are cheaper, more energy efficient, interactive and interoperable across digital standards in Europe and in cars.”
