Radio City is first radio station in Norway to take advantage of revolutionary MPEG-4 aacPlus

Radio City, located in Askim, Norway, have just announced that the radio station will be the first in Norway to offer its programming for live Internet streaming using the Orban Opticodec 1010LE in combination with Coding Technologies' MPEG-4 aacPlus audio codec.

aacPlus is the common denominator format between Internet streaming, digital broadcasting, and mobile, offering CD-quality stereo at 48 kbps, and excellent quality stereo at 32 kbps, especially when combined with Orban's Opticodec products. Listeners can now tune in to Radio City using even a 56 kbps dial-up modem.

aacPlus is already in widespread use for mobile music services and in digital broadcasting. By using aacPlus for their streaming services, providers can both reduce the bit rate required for their streams at highest audio quality, and broaden their listeners base by offering high quality audio even to users with slow connections. Its level of efficiency fundamentally reduces costs and increases the stream of revenue.
