 Digital Broadcasting Information Service "Journaline" Demonstrated at  Olympic Games 2008




To support the increased need for information at the 2008 Summer Olympics in China, the new text-based Digital Radio information service "Journaline" delivers added value to the listener. Integrated into selected Audi shuttle vehicles used in Beijing, this service provides passengers and drivers with up-to-date information in the form of a "sports and news ticker".

With the Journaline data service, users can access current news information and track live sporting results directly from an in-car module with text-to-speech presentation or from a portable receiver with text presentation. The information delivery model of the Journaline news service is functionally similar to an electronic magazine or standard teletext.

The Journaline data service is based on a standard that was internationally accepted by the WorldDMB forum in September 2007.
