AIR orders two high power transmitters for DRM

All India Radio has unveiled a five year program to modernize and digitize its networks. Two new Thomson megawatt radio transmitters will be supplied while the existing network of Thomson transmitters will be updated to incorporate Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) transmission.

Working with Broadcast Engineering Consultants India Limited (BECIL), two new Thomson 1000 kW mediumwave transmitters, with both analogue and DRM exciters, will be provided. The contract includes all auxiliary work, commission, and testing – the new transmitters will be installed in late 2010.
