19.08.2026 - Top story - Germany Germany

In an emergency, every minute counts. A new safety system for DAB+ digital radio, known as Automatic Safety Alert (ASA), is currently being developed and is expected to launch nationwide in September under the service identifier ASA DE. The safety feature can be tested at home or in an electronics shop. Over 35 different DAB+ radio models have already been successfully certified for ASA and are available in shops or online.
