WDR: Further preliminary work for second DAB+ multiplex
As reported, Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) is planning a second multiplex in DAB+ digital radio this year in order to also broadcast the regionalisations of WDR 4, and to move some windows of WDR 2 to this new coverage so that the bit rates in the first mux can be increased. Further preparations are now underway for this. WDR plans to cover its demand for Spinner switches via a framework agreement without purchase obligation with a term of four years. This is stated in the Official Journal of the European Union. It is planned to build turnout systems at probably nine DAB+ transmitter sites in NRW in order to switch new DAB+ transmitters to the existing transmitting antennas. Depending on the location, these must be installed with or without antenna switchgear.
