WorldSpace uses
its two satellites,
AfriStar and AsiaStar, to broadcast more than 100 digital-quality
audio channels to people around the world who want world-class
programming that is not available or rarely found on local
regional or national terrestrial radio. Each satellite has
three beams and each beam is able to send more than 40 crystal
clear audio channels directly to portable receivers. Inside
each WorldSpace Satellite
Radio digital audio receiver is a proprietary chipset designed
to lock into the WorldSpace satellite signal in your region
of the world.
No other option provides the variety of programming that WorldSpace offers. Also, each WorldSpace receiver is equipped with a data port that transforms it into a wireless modem able to download data to personal computers at rates of up to 128kbps. Thus, the WorldSpace receiver can also broadcast multimedia content.
The WorldSpace digital-satellite signal means no fading, noise or interference. The system delivers crystal clear digital quality sound in a coverage area of 14 million square kilometers. As long as you're in line of sight with the satellite, you'll never lose the WorldSpace high-quality sound. |
