Editing DirectBand (section)

== Receivers ==
There were a variety of DirectBand receivers. All used a small (2.794&nbsp;mm × 2.794&nbsp;mm × 860&nbsp;μm) radio receiver. Some designs added an [[ARM7]]-based processor.{{fact|date=May 2024}}

The initial DirectBand products were a series of data watches. These had mild success, but never met expectations and production of new watches was discontinued in 2008. Recently, several other applications have surfaced, the most visible being the traffic data/local info market, particularly to auto GPS sets for Garmin and Avis. This competes directly with older RDS-based services, which operate at a substantially lower data rate.
