The Consortium is ready with more DRM news, events and equipment than ever. Our key member Babcock International will ensure that there will be live DRM transmissions (10-13th September) from the UK between 14.00 – 16.00 UTC (+2 hours for Amsterdam), featuring BBC content on 6040kHz, 100kW from Woofferton on 114 degrees to Europe.
With 4 events and 5 hosting companies this will be the richest IBC for DRM. During these events we will introduce you to the rich features of the new commercial Indian receiver (from new Consortium member Avion Electronics) colour LCD with million colours, 10-12 hours of backup on single charging, x-HE-AAC audio coding, emergency warning, AFS, DRM text and scrolling messages. The receiver will soon be available on Amazon. Recent and exciting market developments in Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America will feature large on all these days as well as innovative solutions for multi-standard receivers like the one in the sights of TheRadioHub, Norway.
All those interested are invited to meet DRM experts, broadcasters and manufacturers:
Fraunhofer IIS on Friday 11th September celebrating the first India made receiver, Avion, with the xHE-AAC audio codec and Journaline , from 1400-1500 (Hall 8 B80);

Ruxandra Obreja, the Consortium Chairman, says that: “Last year we made an exciting announcement and we hope that 2015 IBC will be even better for all those interested in digital sound broadcasting technology. During IBC we hope to demonstrate that DRM is closing the loop between excellent transmitted sound with multimedia services on all frequency bands and reception on state of the art receivers”.
