On 18th October, Marcelo Goedert (representative of the DRM Consortium in Brazil) gave a presentation during the AGERT conference (Gaucho Association of Broadcasters radio and Television). Marcelo addressed the President of AGERT (Mr. Alexandre Gadret) and an audience of more than 30 members, including representatives from major and smaller radio of the Gaucho network.

In his presentation Marcelo Goedert explained the advantages of the DRM digital radio standard and he was supported in his task by DRM manufacturer João Marcos Bertoldi – BT transmitters, which already produce a DRM ready transmitter.

Finally DRM representatives highlighted the creation of the Brazil DRM Platform which promotes the DRM standard as the digital radio solution for Brazil.  Read article in Portuguese
