Learn about the new possibilities for data services with RDS2. This is a new open technology from the RDS Forum, developed by its members since 2014. The RDS standard IEC 62106 has been adapted to RDS2 and published in its new form of six parts in 2018. What else is available already? We, the RDS Forum members, most active in the development of this new digital technology, will explain to you the options and answer your questions about RDS2. With RDS2, FM radio will be future proof in the (digital) radio landscape. Frits de Jong (RDS Forum Chairman), Dietmar Kopitz (RDS Forum CEO), Vincent Simonacci (Radio France) and other RDS Forum members will be present at this event.
