STOCKHOLM, Sweden-Ericsson Radio Messaging AB agreed to transfer all production and marketing rights for Ericsson’s RDS products to Cetronic AB.
RDS is a subcarrier technology that is used in the ordinary broadcasting network, said Ericsson.
Using RDS technology, motorists in Europe can receive notification of incoming road information on their car radio. RDS can be used for other applications as well, including messaging.
Per Jakobsson, vice president and general manager of Ericsson Radio Messaging’s Wireless Messaging Systems group said the transfer will allow Ericsson Messaging to focus on its core activities.
With offices in Sundsvall and Stockholm, Sweden, Cetronic develops and markets systems for transmitting information services via broadcast networks.
