EBU DRM Workshop 2009

This workshop is intended for broadcasters, regulators, manufacturers and all other industry representatives interested in digital radio. The DRM workshop at EBU will showcase the current state of the DRM system globally. Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) is the universal open digital broadcasting system for broadcasting bands up to 174 MHz (covering Long Wave, Medium Wave, Short Wave, and VHF band I/II). This system has recently been enhanced for higher frequencies and its various benefits are being appreciated by countries in Asia, Europe and South America. This workshop will hear of all the latest DRM developments, discuss the market potential of the DRM system and evaluate the results from its test from various locations worldwide. International experts from broadcasting organisations and manufacturing companies would speak about DRM's place in the world in converting radio from analogue to digital.
