The following open session (11 a.m. to 2 p.m. UTC) will evaluate the DRM rollout worldwide, the standard’s new developments and practical applications, and the progress made in getting to the market receivers and new prototypes announced by receiver and chipset manufacturers. They now support the full DRM standard (AM and FM) and all the DRM features with extra benefits, like EWF [Emergency Warning Functionality], distance learning and additional content in various languages.
The agenda also includes a presentation on the information and data gathered during the India DRM FM trial and the recent initiatives of the DRM India automotive group.
In addition, the keynote speech will touch on the revival of radio and shortwave in the current general climate.
“The Consortium is strong and looking with confidence to the future,” says DRM chair Ruxandra Obreja. “We are practically demonstrating that DRM can offer audio and data, vital information, distance learning, and disaster warnings at low energy costs. DRM is part of the digital landscape, making it possible for everyone to stay informed, educated and safe, no matter where they are and whether or not they are connected to modern technology.”
