As NBTC plans to start Digital Radio DAB+ trial in 2017, the number of trial multiplexes and services will be defined and finalised once the trial project is approved. NBTC and ITU have developed the study report on “Practical Guidelines for a Digital Radio” as a guideline for implementation in the trial phase.
In 2013 the first DAB+ transmission demonstration in Thailand was conducted at MCOT’s broadcasting facility and enabled broadcasters in Bangkok to get first-hand experience and a better understanding of DAB+ digital radio technology. The demonstration used the VHF Band III (12D – 229.072MHz) with a low power (about 50W) and provided services for four programs.
