Milestone "Integrated Circuits for Satellite Digital Radio, 1996-1997"
As part of the IEEE Milestone program, we are pleased to inform you that on
24 June 2025 at 3:00pm CEST (1pm UTC), the Milestone "Integrated Circuits for Satellite Digital Radio, 1996-1997" will be dedicated.
The milestone dedication is:
"In 1996-1997, STMicroelectronics developed three low-power integrated circuits (ICs) essential for satellite digital radio reception: a frequency demodulator, a baseband processor, and a compressed audio decoder. Their use in digital radio satellite receivers adopted by Worldspace and Sirius XM Radio provided inexpensive educational and entertainment services in Africa, India, and the United States,and addressed a United Nations humanitarian call for inexpensive radio service to less-developed countries."
The event will occur on June 24, 2025, at STMicroelectronics site in Cornaredo (MI), at the Auditorium in Quadrifoglio building, Via Monzoro 160, Italy, and will be transmitted live streaming (Youtube Event: link).
