DRM Goes Live!

22 August 2001: Professional visitors to the Internationale
Funkaustellung (IFA) in Berlin had the chance today to hear the very
first live digital mediumwave broadcast using the DRM system. Deutsche
Telekom AG and its partners Telefunken Sendersysteme, Berlin,
Fraunhofer Gesellschaft für Integrierte Schaltungen, Erlangen, and
GARV, Berlin, successfully transmitted ORB/Radio 1 programme in digital
quality via the Deutsche Telekom transmitter at Schaeferberg on 891
kHz, and the results were presented at the DRM Booth.

Moreover, Deutsche Telekom and Mega Radio are presenting a
synchronised DRM transmission from three separate transmitter sites on
1485 kHz. The transmitters are located in Frohnau, Ruedersberg and
Schaeferberg. Michael Pilath of Deutsche Telekom AG, who is Vice
Chairman of the DRM Commercial Committee, described the reception
quality as "fantastic".

Another first being offered by Deutsche Telekom is mobile reception of
the DRM mediumwave transmissions in a specially equipped vehicle, in
which visitors can listen to the signals on 891 and 1485 kHz while
driving around Berlin.

DeutschlandRadio is also presenting a special IFA programme to be
broadcast on shortwave from the Deutsche Telekom transmitting site at
Jülich. All these programmes plus the Deutsche Welle programme via
Sines, Portugal, can be listened to at the DRM Booth in Berlin during
the
Fair, which is open to the public from 25 August-2 September.
