The Digital Radio Mondiale Consortium and Brazilian specialists will celebrate the launch of the Brazilian DRM Multi-Sector Platform on October 1st in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Following from the increased interest and presence of the DRM Consortium in Brazil, the event and workshop launching this Platform will give a chance to all interested parties and stakeholders, including the listeners, to understand how DRM can meet all the needs of the vibrant, fast developing radio sector and industry in Brazil. While the choice of the digital audio broadcasting standard is still under scrutiny and discussion in Brazil, the new Platform will be able to promote the only all-band, open, global standard, DRM, as the best solution and the basis of the Brazilian broadcasting standard.
The DRM Consortium is an international, not-for-profit organisation grouping radio broadcasters (public and commercial), regulators, network operators, manufacturers, research institutes all keen to promote the technical, economic and social benefits of DRM.
The Brazilian DRM Platform unites researchers, broadcasters, manufacturers as well as other public or private organisations. Their aim is to promote DRM in Brazil and explain how this efficient standard, “without any secrets”, can best give access to content that is relevant to as many Brazilian listeners as possible, wherever they are and whenever they want it.

About DRM
Digital Radio MondialeTM (DRM) is the universal, openly standardised digital broadcasting system for all broadcasting frequencies below and above 30 MHz, including LW, MW, SW, band I, II (FM band) and band III.
DRM provides digital sound quality and the ease-of-use that comes from digital radio, combined with a wealth of enhanced features: Surround Sound, Journaline text information, Slideshow, EPG, and data services.
DRM on short, medium and long wave for broadcasting bands up to 30 MHz (called ‘DRM30’) provides large coverage areas and low power consumption. The enhancement of the DRM standard for broadcast frequencies above 30 MHz (‘DRM+’) uses the same audio coding, data services, multiplexing and signaling schemes as DRM30 but introduces an additional transmission mode optimized for those bands.
