The Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) Consortium is sponsoring a conference session and holding a workshop at the upcoming Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union Digital Broadcasting Symposium to be held from March 5 to 8 at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 

During the conference session, DRM Chairman Ruxandra Obreja will give a keynote speech, “Technologies and Standards: What's New? What's Next?” on March 6.

DRM Vice-Chairman Alexander Zink will examine some of the practical benefits of DRM and look at the future while addressing the best methods for the most economic coverage of national, regional and local areas in a country on March 7.

The delegates will also be able to participate in a DRM workshop on “Introducing and Implementing Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) – Practical Lessons and Best Practice”.

It will offer delegates an opportunity to learn from first-hand experience and practical steps in implementing the full DRM technology to benefit key stakeholders: listeners, regulators, broadcasters and receiver manufacturers. Key DRM experts will give updates on the DRM latest developments throughout the conference. 

Ruxandra Obreja, DRM Consortium Chair, says that: “Understanding how to successfully roll out digital radio on budget, with significant energy savings and on time, as part of a well-coordinated national effort, is crucial.  The aim of the workshop is to give delegates access to experts from the DRM Consortium who will be available to answer questions and demonstrate how a well-planned roll-out can embrace and affirm the power of digital radio.”
