DRM Multichannel solution allows placing of many DRM blocks (DRM in FM needs 100 KHz only and can accommodate up to three audio channels and one data channel) from a single FM transmitter, without interleaving gap, optimising the use of available bandwidth. Hence, multiple broadcasters can share a single DRM transmitter, significantly reducing the initial investment for each broadcaster. This collaborative approach allows broadcasters to benefit from digital transmission without each one needing to invest in separate infrastructure (i.e. transmitter, antenna etc.). Despite sharing the DRM infrastructure, each broadcaster retains complete control over their content through the DRM ContentServer, which functions as the studio head-end encoder and multiplexer. This ensures flexibility and autonomy in content management.

The single open DRM standard for digital radio broadcasting, already widely deployed in India, can deliver cost benefits and efficiency for radio listeners, through a vibrant and multi-supplier market for receiving devices. Competition supports and creates innovation and cost reduction. A single open standard like DRM, also offers efficiencies to broadcasters, through multi-sourcing of transmission infrastructure and content delivery systems.  

Single unified open standards are needed in communication technology deployments to ensure cost effectiveness, efficiency of rollout, and high-volume market adoption.
