Radio by Satellite

Satellite radio has quite literally been a god send to
people who live or travel regularly in remote locations, or
even for people who are required to travel long distances.
Static-free reception can now be experienced and enjoyed
by listeners who have a satellite radio even if they are
in the remotest of locations.

In the past if you were travelling for long periods, every
hour or so you would have to start tweaking with the radio
dial, as the radio station you were just listening to began
to turn to static after it seemed to fade in and out for a
while. You would then frantically try to locate a new radio
station to listen to and just as you did, it too would turn
static. This would go on until eventually there were no
decent stations left on the dial and then finally you would
succumb to putting on a cassette or a CD or even turning off
the entire stereo all together. But with the advent of
satellite radio, static, tuning, fiddling and complete
boredom will soon be a thing of the past.

The standard, more conventional radio signals are only able
to travel around 30-40 miles from their original
transmitters so if you travel beyond this distance then the
signal will eventually get weaker and weaker until you are
no longer able to hear the transmission at all. However in a
far greater development of technology, satellite radio waves
travel from space (around 22,000 miles) meaning that you
will be able to travel across the entire country without
even having to change national radio stations because the
frequency will be consistent and strong.

Automobile manufacturers have been installing satellite
radio receivers as standard fittings for some years now, so
when the satellite radio transmission finally begins most
drivers will be able to clearly access the signals and won't
experience any problems in utilizing the new technology.
What a revolution!! Currently there are only three
space-based radio broadcasters who are working on the
development of this technology. In 1997, the government
agency the Federal Communications Commission gave licenses
worth around $80 million to these companies to experiment
and deliver on the allocated radio band for digital
satellite radio transmission.

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.
