DRM technology is something I have a grasp of. Still, the implementation of the DRM is still not so clear to me. How can you simply explain it to me?
(Kenyan journalist)
The DRM open technology can be introduced in any frequency broadcasting band below and above 30 MHz and is the best for covering full countries and large areas and countries like Kenya. Apart from spectrum and electricity advantages, DRM allows for upgrading, extending existing radio infrastructure rather than building a wholly new one. Analogue receivers cannot be repurposed, and new digital receivers are required, like in any new digital communication technology.
