'We expect to see HD Radio products using these reference designs reaching consumers before the end of 2005'.

'With its dramatically improved sound quality and datacasting capabilities, HD Radio technology is transforming consumers' expectations of AM and FM radio', said Wayne Boyle, President and CEO, iLab America'.

'By partnering with iBiquity to develop a series of HD Radio reference designs, we are reducing the technical and production barriers for manufacturers bringing HD Radio products to the marketplace'.
