This unique solution enables full-featured reception of both digital radio standards in a single app – ideal for markets where DRM and DAB+ coexist, such as South Africa, Indonesia, or Australia, or for listeners in Europe who want access to both local DAB+ services and international DRM broadcasts like Radio Romania International.

Just like the existing DRM-only version, this app version supports DRM in all broadcast bands including the AM bands (LW, MW, SW) as well as the VHF Bands I, II (FM-Band) and III – depending on the capabilities of the USB-attached tuner dongle.

The app is now available on the Google Play Store for around 13 €.

👉 Explore the new STARWAVES DRM & DAB+ SoftRadio Android App – live at the Starwaves booth at IBC 2025, Hall 8, Booth 8.B30h.

DRM’s 2024 BES Exhibition booth was dominated by items and sensations presented, provided or organized by STARWAVES. Starting with STARWAVES’ own products, the latest W2401 Receiver was now demonstrated in its final shape – production is now finally starting and orders can be placed. Purchase links will be published here soon.

STARWAVES also showcased a number of examples how the STARWAVES DRM Softradio App can be implemented: For example in an Android Car Stereo or an Android boombox. Both exhibits were very low level products to show that very few hardware performance is required for the setup to function. The devices were  connected to a 20 USD RTL-SDR stick turning them into full-blown DRM receivers.

The main attraction – also prepared and demonstrated by STARWAVES – was a fully integrated Android smart phone with built-in digital receiver chipset allowing the handsfree set to receive DRM without dongle!

Last but not least it was also STARWAVES who organized the SUZUKI Maruti Car on the booth as well as the AM re-transmission equipment allowing for AM indoor reception of the AIR Nangli DRM transmission.
