The increasing interest in DRM+ is leading to new trials on different
frequency bands and involving more and more commercial broadcasters.
One scientific trial was conducted in Brest, France, in Band II (using
a 300W Harris transmitter) in a project run in partnership with
Telecom Bretagne University and supported by the Region of Brittany.
Digidia's Soprano+ DRM+ Modulator and Alto+ DRM+ Content Server were
used in Brest and are currently being used in southern France, where a
test is being conducted close to Nice, together with AGORA FM, in Band
I at 60 MHz.
The third and biggest trial which began in May is with a commercial
radio network in Trondheim (Norway) where a Nautel 300W transmitter
and a Digidia content server is supporting the trial in Band II. The
trial was held in conjunction with other key DRM Consortium members
like Fraunhofer IIS, RFmondial and with the full support of the
Norwegian commercial broadcaster, Venture 21.
DRM Consortium Chair, Ruxandra Obreja, says: "We are proud of the
support and technical expertise we are getting from our key members
supplying transmitters, content servers, modulators and full DRM USB
receiver solutions. In Europe we are demonstrating that there is a
cheap and effective solution for also digitising small radio stations
(commercial and community) which can run on their own or compliment
other multiplex solutions."
