STARWAVES Makes Waves Across Continents with Groundbreaking DRM E-Learning Demonstration

From Mumbai to Dar es Salaam, STARWAVES is setting a new global benchmark for distance education.

STARWAVES proudly returned from two major international events—WAVES 2025 in Mumbai, India, and eLearning Africa in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania—where we showcased the power and potential of Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) for transforming education in underserved and offline regions.

At both events, STARWAVES presented its innovative DRM-based e-learning platform, which enables the delivery of high-quality educational content—textbooks, audio, images, and even video—over digital shortwave radio, without the need for internet or mobile networks. The highlight of our presentations was the live demonstration of our pilot project in Gambia, which left audiences stunned by its simplicity, scalability, and immediate impact.

In Gambia, STARWAVES has successfully broadcast curriculum-aligned educational content to remote learners using DRM technology, powered by our unique receiver devices with built-in Wi-Fi hotspots. These receivers not only provide crystal-clear radio content but also distribute multimedia lessons wirelessly to nearby tablets and smartphones, creating offline learning environments anywhere, anytime.

The response in both Mumbai and Dar es Salaam was overwhelming. Delegates from government, education ministries, broadcasters, NGOs, and international development agencies expressed strong interest in replicating the Gambia model in their own countries. As budgets tighten and digital inequality widens, our solution offers a resilient, cost-effective, and scalable pathway for inclusive education—especially in rural, remote, or disaster-affected areas.

Johannes von Weyssenhoff, CEO of STARWAVES, noted:
“We are proud to be leading a global shift in how we think about digital education. What we demonstrated is not a concept—it is working today, in the real world. And it is ready to scale.”

With growing momentum across Africa and Asia, STARWAVES reaffirms its commitment to bridging the digital divide through smart, sustainable broadcasting solutions. For more information about our projects or to explore partnership opportunities, please contact: info@starwaves.com.
