Radio data system (RDS). VHF/FM sound broadcasting in the frequency range from 64,0 MHz to 108,0 MHz. Compilation of technical specifications for Open Data Applications in the public domain | Status: Current

1 Scope This part of IEC 62106 contains the technical specifications for Open Data Applications in the public domain. This document is maintained by the RDS Forum Office. The RDS Forum Office applies an easy procedure for registering new Open Data Applications, to ensure that they can be used without the need to change the RDS standard. The ODA feature permits defining new applications that can be decoded on a receiver. The receiver needs to the adequate software handler for the specific AID, which identifies the application. Receivers that have not implemented the software handler needed for decoding are not affected by ODA data received for any of the applications already defined and specified. The procedure for registering a new ODA is described in IEC 62106‑3.
