New Delhi

13-Feb-12

The 18th Annual Broadcast Engineering Society of India (BES) international
conference and exhibition concluded in New Delhi today (11-13th Feb 2012).
All India Radio's (AIR) current digitalization programme was discussed, by
speakers during the conference and by visitors at the exhibition. According
to AIR's Additional Director General Mr Yogendra Pal, two 1000 KW MW
transmitters at Rajkot and Kolkata are likely to be operational by March
2012, and the rest of the 72 DRM transmitters would be commissioned between
June 2012 to March 2013.  The ongoing roll-out by AIR spurred  the interest
of receiver manufacturers who were present at the event with their
products. DRM's Alexander Zink and Ludo Maes made presentations about DRM
technology and receivers respectively, which enhanced a very interactive
session on Success of Digital Radio broadcasting today. DRM member
companies Nautel, RFmondial, Digidia, Fraunhofer, Harris and Thomson
attended the BES conference this year.
