The recent DRM news from China, Indonesia, Nigeria and so many other countries across the continents have increased the interest and number of questions we have received recently from a lot of you. Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) Consortium (www.drm.org) specialists will try to answer some of these, share updates and make important announcements during its impactful, in-person presence at IBC 2025 (ibc.org), Amsterdam, the Netherlands (12th-15th September).
As the DRM Chairman, together with colleagues present in Amsterdam, I would like to invite you to Hall 8, RAI, over three days (12th, 13th and 14th September) to get and share your news during three events. These will focus on recent announcement (like digital radio decisions announced in China) receivers (latest updated versions and a new DRM-DAB app), additional services, and benefits of the standard and its distribution on all frequency bands including VHF band III.
On September 12th, the DRM Consortium will look at the latest on receivers and receiver solutions in a session hosted at the Starwaves (receivers) booth (1600-1730), part of the German Pavilion.
The next day, September 13th, Fraunhofer IIS invites all those interested in digital radio to stop and join them at 1600-1730 to get the latest developments, like the R8 release of the DRM ContentServer technology and potentially an important industry cooperation project on the receiver side.
In the afternoon of Sunday 14th, DRM will recap all its new announcements at the Nautel booth event.
I think that at IBC we will illustrate very concretely how DRM can enable the terrestrial, one-for-all broadcast of rich content in very good audio quality. This excellent audio in all frequency bands is also accompanied by versatile multimedia. DRM is more than good audio as it can also save lives through its emergency warnings (EWF) and deliver e-learning to everyone even in the furthest corners of a country or continent. In an unstable world DRM responds to the needs of now as it is robust, open to all, saves energy and spectrum and ensures full-country coverage.
