    The Digital Multimedia Broadcast feature is realized with the help of Atmel's ATR2740 baseband processor, which provides a high level of flexibility and performance. This baseband processor is controlled by a standard ARM(R) core, making it easy to create customized software due to the controller being very well known with designers. The ATR2740 offers high processing power to enable the part to decode the full DAB data rate of 1.8 Mbit, powerful enough to run any Digital Multimedia Broadcast service, and still have plenty of free processing power available on the ARM controller for customer software. This makes it easy to implement this device in complex environments, enabling a fast time to market.

    In particular, the DMB-enabled LG LW40 notebook PC utilizes DMB antenna and signal treatment modules that can be replaced with an optical disc drive (ODD) in the notebook PC. This allows users to opt between the DMB module and the ODD, increasing mobility.
