STARWAVES has developed a DRM SoftRadio App for Android mobile phones and tablets. The app enables phones and tablets to receive news and entertainment items in perfect sound and as text information using the DRM terrestrial broadcasting standard.

The app supports many DRM digital radio features such as the Emergency Warning Functionality (EWF), image slideshows, station logos, and radio programme service descriptions, as well as the latest xHE-AAC audio codec. To provide all these services, the app only requires a standard off-the-shelf SDR RF dongle that is attached to the device’s USB port.
