 Nautel's patent pending Reliable HD Transport Suite helps eliminate IBOC audio drop-outs and is now supported on Harris, BE and Nautel transmitters.The Nautel protocol buffers the IBOC data sent from the studio to the transmitter site by a user-configurable amount of time to allow for data retransmission. This reduces the chance of losing packets on the receive end. It also restructures the data stream so that instead of sending one large burst followed by several frames of almost no data, the data is repackaged into a continuous stream that occupies a constant bit rate.
 This new method of transporting HD reduces the demanding reliability constraints placed on STLs by IBOC, thereby dramatically reducing the chance of dead air. This solution is applicable to every HD Radio deployment and allows various multiple exciter configurations to be implemented, such as main standby exciters, multi frequency networks, single frequency networks and satellite distribution applications.
E2X Instantaneous Bandwidth
Bandwidth requirements are drastically reduced plus data retransmission helps eliminate on-air drop outs.
