Digital Radio Mondiale™ (DRM) will take part fully in the International Broadcast Engineering Society of India (BES – www.besindia.co.in) event in New Delhi in February. At the BES conference and Exhibition, held again in person this year, after a break of three years, DRM Consortium will highlight its excellent benefits and recent achievements under the overarching theme “DRM Saves Lives and Keeps Radio in Business”. The conference and exhibition BES EXPO 2023 on Broadcast & Media Technology will be held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi 110002, India 16-18 February 2023 and the Consortium has just announced the titles of some of its key presentations.

The DRM Consortium (www.drm.org) and some of its key Indian and international members and partners (including Ampegon, CML Microcircuits/Cambridge Consultants, Fraunhofer IIS, Gospell Digital Technologies, Inntot Technologies, RFmondial, Starwaves etc.) will welcome all visitors at Hall 7 – Booths 26 and 28, ready to share various aspects and benefits of the DRM technology. Visitors will be able to experience directly the multi-channel capability of DRM in FM and also some of its key benefits like the delivery of emergency warnings (DRM-EWF a functionality that is part of the DRM standard) with audio and text in desired language – also available to the visually or hearing impaired.

Major innovations in providing superefficient DRM for FM broadcasts will be also introduced, as well as new receiver solution.

Some of the key messages of the DRM exhibits will find a full presentation during the BES conference. One new receiver solution unveiled at BES will be the object of the presentation “Breakthrough innovation in Digital Broadcast Radio Receivers” (CML Microcircuits, UK). This will be followed by “DRM Brings Social Benefits – Distance Learning and Emergency Warning Functionality (EWF)” (Fraunhofer IIS, Germany) and last by not least by “DRM benefits disseminated and appreciated at Grassroots level in India (Indian expert).
