ABU teams up with DRM on Emergency Warning webinar

The Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) Consortium is joining forces with the ABU on July 16 to run a webinar on using features of DRM as an Emergency Warning System.

Senior members of the DRM Consortium and ABU will be presenting this special feature and giving answers to some of the frequently asked questions on this topic.

Sharad Sadhu, Director ABU Technology, praised the timely initiative. “This is the first joint webinar organised with the DRM Consortium on one of the critical concerns for broadcasters in Asia. We welcome this collaboration, a first of its kind.”

Lindsay Cornell, Chair of the DRM Technical Committee agreed. “Emergency warning systems can be built using DRM as the core distribution technology.  This could offer a vital service in time of need to communities around the world.”

Information about how to join the webinar can be obtained from projectoffice@drm.org. Participants can already address their questions to the panel of experts or ask them during the webinar. All confirmed registrants will receive an e-mail before the webinar with the joining details.
