In 1990, Noah Samara envisioned a way to communicate to millions of people around the world. After extensive travels to the far reaches of the globe, Samara founded a company called World Space which went on to conceive and build the world's first satellite infrastructure designed to broadcast digital quality radio.The company has two large satellites.
The technology World Space Radio introduced to the market in 2003 was the fastest adopted new consumer media in the United States since the advent of the DVD player. World Space Radio provides XM Satellite Radio with almost 10 percent of its original programming content.
World Space Radio uses two satellites (AfriStar and AsiaStar) to broadcast over 100 digital quality audio channels to countries throughout Asia, Africa the Middle East and parts of Europe. World Space Radio receivers are equipped with a patented data port, essentially transforming the radio into a wireless modem able to download data to a personal computer.
While World Space Radio has its global headquarters in Washington, D.C., World Space Radio programming is not available in the United States as of 2009.
World Space Radio is the world's leading provider of satellite radio programming. Although it is not available in the United States, providers such as Sirius and XM are available with digital quality audio and a variety of commercial-free programming including comedy, politics, weather, music and sports.
