MINNEAPOLIS, MN. -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/09/2003 -- NBS Radio Corporation announced today the release of the Global Access Radio, the first tabletop radio able to access international Shortwave radio via Internet streaming audio. The Global Access Radio is the first stand-alone device that lets listeners tune into radio stations via Internet broadcasts around the world. Until now, people who wanted to listen to broadcasts outside the limited reach of AM/FM radios were limited to Shortwave radios or computer-connected systems. The Global Access Radio removes those barriers and puts literally hundreds of worldwide Shortwave and Internet-based stations -- from news, talk shows, and sports broadcasts, to music -- at the touch of a button. "The Global Access Radio represents a unique breakthrough in radio technology, providing the variety and breadth of Internet radio with the ease of use of a standard radio format," said Walter Fields, President of NBS Radio Corporation. The Global Access Radio has the familiar controls of a traditional radio: tuning, volume, favorite-channel preset buttons, headphone jack, as well as high-quality, self-contained stereo speakers. It also provides a full text display that makes it easy to select programs and setup personal preferences. The Global Access Radio features an internal station database that is automatically updated. With patents and copyrights pending, the Global Access Radio uses computer technology for audio stream management. Any level of Internet connectivity is supported -- by standard telephone line, Ethernet or Wi-Fi standard IEEE802.11. Users need only an Internet service provider (ISP). NBS Radio Corporation is a division of NBS Cables, Inc., a world leader in high-end audio products. Founded in 1989, NBS Cables is a privately held company headquartered in Minnesota. |
