India adopted DRM Technology, a new age of digital FM

Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) is one of the World’s largest digital radio deployments. It is a set of digital audio broadcasting technologies designed to work over the bands currently used for analog radio broadcasting using shortwave (SW) frequencies and FM broadcasting. Both FM and DRM (upgraded version DRM+) are used for radio broadcasting. Digital broadcasting is a green technology that has many advantages over analog. FM likes clear reception, multiple programs on the same frequency, program-related text information, news with value-added text, traffic information, etc. Digital broadcasting has a much wider coverage as compared to FM, which is not limited to urban areas only. An early warning signal facility is also available to alarm for any disaster. Earthquakes, floods, storms, etc. The digital receiver automatically selects another channel when out of range. It is used to protect an organization’s digital media from unauthorized use and to ensure a company retains control over the distribution of digital content. It means there is no option to copy text content.
