On behalf of the DRM Consortium, let me wish you all a happy, healthy and successful year!
As the DRM has made significant progress in 2023, we aim to continue this pursuing even more vigorously our main strategic directions: establish DRM as the preferred global standard for digitising all bands and offering full and flexible coverage, expand in key markets of Asia, Africa and Europe, primarily, push for new and up-to-date receiver solutions and promote DRM as the perfect solution for delivering emergency warnings and distance learning.
To achieve these goals, we use different communication ways: face-to-face meetings, attendance and presentations at conferences, workshops, seminars. We will continue to demonstrate the superiority of the standard and reflect it in the press on our website, etc. For this we already have plans in place for conferences, tutorials. An important part of the preparations is also devoted to our annual General Assembly to be held in UAE in May.
If you want to be in touch with us for more information, contribute and participate here are some of the events of interest.
Between the 9th and 12th of January, some DRM members will be attending the CES event in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, the HFCC A24 shall take place in Malaysia (5-19th).
