Santa Catarina, Brazil - June 25, 2025
Factum Radioscape is proud to announce the launch of an experimental DAB+ trial in collaboration with Radio Mais, part of the Mais Media Brazil group, in Florianópolis-the capital of the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. Beginning with the low-powered, localised transmission of three radio services: Radio More, K Radio, and P7 Nosta, all services are being broadcast using Factum Radioscape’s MultiMuxa system. MultiMuxa is engineered with a user-friendly interface that allows even community and regional radio stations to operate digital radio with ease, without requiring advanced technical expertise.
In support of Brazil’s vibrant community radio sector, Factum Radioscape is actively working to lower the barrier to digital broadcasting, making tools like MultiMuxa accessible, scalable, and easy to deploy. As part of the technical trial, Factum Radioscape is also supplying its OBSERVA Analyser. The monitoring software offers real-time analysis and verification of the DAB+ services being transmitted, including features such as validation of service logos (SLS), dynamic radio text, and audio stream monitoring. This ensures the signal and content are consistent and aligned with international DAB standards.
Testing of MultiMuxa arrives at a critical moment, as Brazil continues to evaluate DAB+, HD Radio, and DRM as candidate technologies for the country’s national digital radio standard.
James Waterson, Sales Manager at Factum Radioscape, commented:
“As Brazil actively considers which digital radio path to follow, we’re proud to demonstrate how DAB+, and especially our MultiMuxa platform, can deliver high-quality, user-friendly solutions that are scalable for national deployment. Supporting stations like Radio Mais shows how DAB+ radio can empower both commercial and community broadcasters across South America.”
Factum Radioscape will continue to support Radio Mais throughout the testing and welcomes collaboration with other broadcasters and regulatory stakeholders across the region as Brazil moves closer to a national decision on digital radio technology
Yan, Station Co-ordinator at Radio Mais, added:
"I really appreciate the assistance from the Factum Radioscape team. The MultiMuxa
and Analyser software are working well, and I’m happy with the results. The
transmission is also running smoothly without any interruptions or dropouts, which
is great.
We’re broadcasting multiple test services to evaluate how they perform
in
practice. DAB+ receivers and adapters are becoming easier to find online in Brazil,
and prices are now more accessible than they used to be - especially compared to DRM
or HD Radio equipment, which remains more limited and costly."
