MUMBAI: The Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) Consortium is joining forces on July 16th (0800 GMT) with the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) to run a webinar on using features of DRM as an Emergency warning system.  Senior members of the DRM Consortium and ABU will be presenting this special feature and giving answers to some of the frequently asked questions on this topic.

Sharad Sadhu, Director ABU Technology, is pleased to play a part in this
project: "This is the first joint webinar organised with the DRM Consortium on one of the critical concerns for broadcasters in Asia. We welcome this collaboration, a first of its kind."

Lindsay Cornell, Chair of the DRM Technical Committee says: "Emergency warning systems can be built using DRM as the core distribution technology.
This could offer a vital service in time of need to communities around the world."

If you want to join this webinar and have more live information from DRM experts, you can already address your questions to: projectoffice@drm.org or ask your questions during the webinar. All confirmed registrants will receive an e-mail before the webinar with the joining details. Please direct any questions or feedback to projectoffice@drm.org 

About Digital Radio MondialeTM (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 signalling schemes as DRM30 but introduces an additional transmission mode optimized for those bands.
