The Digital Broadcast Revolution
Satellite radio systems are actually part of a larger group of broadcasting mediums, which specialists refer to as Digital Multimedia Broadcasting or DMB. This digital transmission system is used in order to send data to different receivers such as radios, television sets or mobile phones and PDAs. There are two different ways of using digital multimedia broadcasting – S-DMB which is broadcasting via a satellite or T-DMB which uses terrestrial emitters. The complexity of the entire digital multimedia broadcasting field is huge. Out of all the features and characteristics digital broadcasting offers, satellite radio is probably the most spectacular as it generated immense interest and triggered an intense competition between the two main satellite radio broadcasters, Sirius and XM Radio. The development of satellite radio and other forms of digital broadcasting is spectacular because it offers two main qualities that terrestrial emitters are deficient in: quality and coverage. In the case of satellite radio, for example, the sound quality from a satellite broadcast is much higher than AM or FM broadcasts, as the hissing noises and transmission disturbances are eliminated.
Technical features of digital multimedia broadcasting – overview
Whether it refers to television, satellite radio or cell phone transmissions, digital multimedia broadcasting is based on the Eureka 147 DAB standard. Digital television uses the T-DMB which is made for transmissions on frequency bands III (VHF) and L (SHF). T-DMB is an ETSI standard (TS 102 427 and TS 102 428).

NOAA Weather Alert Radios and Emergency Preparedness
Even though the calendar now indicates Spring and we recently moved the clocks ahead one hour so it stays lighter later, It seems like harsh winter weather remains. One day we experience a quick teaser that Spring was on it’s way with plenty of sunshine and unseasonably warm temperatures. Less than 24 hours later we can experience a high wind warning for storm force winds, record snow fall, flooding, seisimic activity as well as a myriad of other disruptive weather related conditions. Spring officially occured when the Vernal Equinox on March 20, 2011 at 11:21pm Eastern Standard Time. That is when on the Northern Hemisphere day and night are approximately of equal length. Here in the North Eastern United States, some spring flowers are beginning to bloom and the Robins are being spotted in our back yards.

A lot of us are fascinated by the weather. It seems like weather is the primary topic of many conversations. Plans are made and canceled because of the weather. Yet we have no control over what mother nature has in store for us.
