2wcom Extends CBC/Radio-Canada RDS Coverage

CBC/Radio Canada has installed more than 100 of 2wcom's C02 RDS Encoders to help increase its RDS implementation.

The C02 units deliver encoded dynamically updating traffic message information and other data to radio listeners nationwide.

2wcom's CO2 RDS/RDBS Encoder offers radio broadcasters the range of features needed for any kind of RDS implementation. It is compliant with CENELEC and UECP 7.x, and supports EON, TMC, ODA, RP, RT+ and EWS (Early Warning System) data. It has a capacity for eight different RDS configurations, and can handle both national and regionalised programs. Multiple ports allow remote control via RS-232 or by IP, while the ARCOS configuration software makes it easy to set up, monitor and control. The ability to save and archive data is important for performance verification and testing.

Werner Drews, founder and managing director, 2wcom, said: "RDS is in our bones – we've been producing technology for it since it first appeared on the scene. Decades of expertise went into the design of the CO2, and the nationwide deployment by CBC/Radio-Canada installation confirms that it is the benchmark solution for RDS encoding."
