Radio by Satellite
Satellite radio has become more and more popular these last few years and one of the reasons is the quite and static free reception enjoyed by the listener even in remote locations. If you have ever been on a road trip in a car and trying to tune the radio, you know how frustrating it can be to try to keep the radio tuned.
As soon as you find a good station,you will drive out of the area and it will become static and then fade away
completely. It was a pain to travel from one area to another constantly fiddling with the tuner to get a working station. And it seems that as soon as you find one that picks up properly, you have driven out of the area and can’t pick it up anymore. But now technology has advanced and with satellite radio, you can now pick up any station from the satellite.
Radio signals can travel only about 30 to 40 miles past the transmitter. This is why when you are travelling and you
drive too far away from the radio transmitter, it becomes static and eventually you lose the signal completely. The good news is that technology has come a long way and just like we have satellites for television, we also have them for radio. Satellite radio lets you hear your
station from anywhere you go in the country. It has never been easier to have great radio.
What you might not know is that automobile manufacturers have been installing satellite receivers in cars for many years now. This is helping technology advance and makes it easier for you to keep up with the changing trends. In fact, the FCC has given out around $80 million dollars to different companies that are researching this technology. All of this research means better radio for you.
You may have already heard that there are three main companies that are involved in satellite radio technology. There is a lot of competition between these companies which can only be expected. Worldspace and XM Radio are two of these three companies and they have signed an agreement with each other. They have agreed to share any technology so this is a huge benefit to you the consumer. The more these companies can work together, the better the benefits to the consumer will be.
