Paris, 12th June 2009: The Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) technology for
broadcast at higher frequencies was successfully trialled in Paris on Thursday.
The DRM+ signal was broadcast on 64.5 MHz from Tour Pleyel, North of Paris, and
was received at the office of Conseil Supérieur de l'Audiovisuel (CSA) which
regulates the various electronic media in France. The CSA is located 10 km away
from the transmitter but the signal strength was good with only 400 watts of
radiating power.
This positions DRM+ as a perfect solution for stations not able to join
multiplexes, even in places where the FM band is full.
DRM+ extends the DRM standard which is the open, universal, digital radio
standard for broadcast bands, to frequencies up to 174MHz including the FM
spectrum from 87.5MHz to 108 MHz. DRM+ offers a range of features and benefits
for radio stations’ around the world and can lead to a cost-effective migration
to digital. It was first successfully tested on the FM Band in Kaiserslautern,
Germany last year, but this is the first time DRM+ has been used in Band 1.
