Eureka 147

A technical body under the name of Eureka 147 Consortium initiated the original DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) System. This project developed a new digital transmission system which received ITU recognition as a world standard - the only one to meet its stringent requirements. The Eureka 147 DAB System is seen as the future of radio.

The European funded DAB project turned out to be the 147th project of the technical body of EUREKA, which represents many technical projects that have been pursued throughout the years. Thus, the DAB project was adequately named Eureka 147 and to subsidise the project a consortium of members was created.
