Country Information for DAB, DAB+ and DMB - Czech Republic - History - Details of Trials

23-06-2008

The latest DAB/DAB+ trial began in June 2008 and is provided by TELEKO Company in cooperation with the public broadcaster Czech Radio.  Broadcasting on L Band channel LI, the 2.5kw transmitter provides coverage in the capital, Prague, to a population of around 1.3 million.  The goal of these non-commercial trials is the promotion of digital radio to the Czech public and Government administrators.

In the past there have been DMB trials in the Czech Republic, however, the industry is waiting for the government to make regulatory decisions on mobile TV in the country as there are issues with lack of spectrum.

It is expected that at the end of 2007 Channel 12 will be made available so that the Wiesbaden Plan for DAB national coverage can begin.
