PRSS IS A COMBINED SATELLITE AND INTERNET CONTENT DISTRIBUTION SERVICE FOR PUBLIC RADIO PROGRAMMING AND RELATED DIGITAL CONTENT. IN ADDITION TO ITS REGULAR OPERATIONS, DISTRIBUTION MANAGES GRANT FUNDED PROJECT INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF THE PRSS ACTIVITIES. DIGITAL CONTENT IS COMPRISED OF NPR'S CONTENT AS WELL AS CONTENT FROM OTHER PROGRAM PRODUCERS AND INDEPENDENT (NON-INSTITUTIONAL) RADIO PRODUCERS. THE PRSS IS AVAILABLE TO PUBLIC RADIO USERS, REGARDLESS OF SIZE, INCOME, ORGANIZATION OR PROGRAMMING AFFILIATION. THE ANNUAL OPERATIONS OF THE PRSS ARE SUPPORTED BY THE FEES PAID BY BOTH PUBLIC AND COMMERCIAL CLIENTS FOR USING THE SYSTEM. THE NPR LABS GROUP IS RECOGNIZED INTERNATIONALLY AS A RADIO TECHNOLOGY AUTHORITY. IN NOVEMBER 2008, NPR DEMONSTRATED THE WORLD'S FIRST NATIONWIDE TEST OF LIVE, CAPTIONED RADIO FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE DEAF OR HARD-OF-HEARING. SINCE THEN, NPR LABS HAS DEVELOPED FURTHER TECHNIQUES FOR PRODUCING HIGHLY-ACCURATE LIVE CAPTIONING STREAMS AND RAPID TRANSCRIPTION PRODUCTION. THE TECHNIQUES NPR LABS INVENTED ARE SO NOVEL THAT NPR HAS APPLIED FOR A U.S. PATENT BASED ON THESE TECHNIQUES. IN 2013, NPR LABS BEGAN DEVELOPING ACCESSIBLE ALERTING SERVICES THAT WOULD OPERATE WITH THE AVAILABLE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ALERTING DEAF/HARD-OF-HEARING CITIZENS IN THE U.S. GULF COAST STATES TO IMPENDING THREATS SUCH AS HURRICANES, TORNADOES, OR OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS. THE COMPLETE SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION OF A UNIQUE, ACCESSIBLE FM RADIO BROADCAST DATA SYSTEM RADIO RECEIVER, IS A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT GENERATING STRONG INTEREST FOR A NATIONAL ROLL OUT AND IMPLEMENTATION. THE NPR LABS'S ACCESSIBLE RECEIVER WAS CHOSEN BY THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS ASSOCIATION AS A 2014 ENGINEERING & INNOVATION HONOREE. THE PROJECT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE EXTENDED TO SERVE BLIND PERSONS AND OTHERS WITH DISABILITIES, AND THE PROJECT'S ALERTING INFRASTRUCTURE IS EASILY EXTENDED TO INCLUDE AMBER, SILVER AND OTHER ALERTS. NPR LABS' RESEARCH INTO MEDIA STREAMING ISSUES AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE AND PROPAGATION HAS BROUGHT SEVERAL PROJECTS TO THE FOREFRONT: (I) A C-BAND SATELLITE INTERFERENCE STUDY EXAMINED THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF PROPOSED WIRELESS BROADBAND EXPANSION TO FREQUENCIES NEAR TO THOSE USED BY THE PRSS AND OTHER SATELLITE COMPANIES AROUND THE WORLD. (II) A NEW STUDY WAS STARTED TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS ON FM BROADCAST STATIONS WHEN USING A NEW FM SINGLE-SIDEBAND TECHNIQUE. (III) TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTS SPECIFIC TO FM SUBCARRIER TRANSMISSIONS MADE IN THE ACCESSIBLE ALERTING SYSTEM PROJECT HAVE BEEN OFFERED TO THE NATIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS COMMITTEE (NRSC) FOR INCLUSION IN THE NRSC NATIONAL RADIO DATA SYSTEM USAGE GUIDELINES (DOCUMENT NRSC-G300-A). (IV) THE DIGITAL RADIO MULTICASTING INITIATIVE LED BY NPR LABS ENABLES ALL FM RADIO STATIONS, COMMERCIAL AND NON-COMMERCIAL, TO OFFER MULTIPLE STREAMS OF PROGRAMMING ON ONE CHANNEL, FREE TO THE PUBLIC. AN OUTGROWTH OF THIS WORK IS NPR LABS' HIGHLY-ACCURATE MAPPING SERVICES WHICH REMAIN IN-DEMAND BY PUBLIC RADIO STATIONS AND COMMERCIAL CLIENTS, AND THE GROUP HAS BEEN RETAINED TO UPDATE ITS INDUSTRY-POPULAR HD POWER CALCULATOR. THESE MAPPING SERVICES QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY SHOW AN FM STATION'S BROADCAST CONTOUR BASED ON SIGNAL STRENGTH AND TERRAIN. NPR LABS STAFF HAVE BEEN ASKED TO CHAIR A NEW CONSUMER ELECTRONICS COMMITTEE WORKING GROUP TO STUDY AUDIO LOUDNESS SPECIFICALLY FOR BROADCAST AND AUDIO STREAMS. NPR LABS IS ALSO PIONEERING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FOR A NEW ON-CHANNEL LOW-COST, LOW-INTERFERENCE FM BOOSTER SYSTEM THAT IMPROVES AN FM STATION'S SIGNAL COVERAGE IN AREAS OF WEAK OR SPOTTY COVERAGE. 2962198 0 3204000 THE MEMBERSHIP OF NPR CONSISTS OF 263 NON-COMMERCIAL BROADCAST ORGANIZATIONS THAT OPERATE 897 RADIO STATIONS.
