DRM is a digital radio standard that has been deployed in emerging markets. It provides FM-comparable or better audio quality on the AM radio band. Because AM radio covers more than 98% of the population in India, compared to 37% coverage of FM, DRM provides a significant benefit. This technology also provides additional data services such as traffic updates, natural disaster warnings and news.�
