About DRM
Digital Radio Mondiale™ (DRM) is the
universal, openly standardised digital broadcasting system for all broadcasting
frequencies.
The DRM standard comprises two major
configurations one intended for broadcasts on short, medium and long wave up to
30 MHz providing medium to large coverage areas and low power consumption
(called ‘DRM30’). The configuration for the VHF bands above 30 MHz is called
‘DRM+’, tailored for local and regional coverage with broadcaster-controlled
transmissions.
All DRM configurations share the same
audio coding, data and multimedia services, service linking, multiplexing and
signalling schemes. DRM provides high quality sound combined with a wealth of
enhanced features: Surround Sound, Journaline text information, Slideshow, EPG,
and data services.
The DRM Consortium was awarded by ITU
for it outstanding contribution to the Telecommunications over the past
years
and has signed the EBU Smart Radio
Memorandum that promotes access to free to air radio on all devices.
