Radio can save lives - Bavaria tests alarm innovations via DAB+ for the nationwide warning day
Warning the population in the event of a disaster is a top priority - on tomorrow's nationwide warning day, warning systems will therefore be tested again. Radio and television play an important role in this. Bavaria is using the day as an opportunity to test alarm innovations via the terrestrial digital radio DAB+: for example, in addition to the alarm function of radio devices in standby, the control of a siren via the radio signal will also be tested this year. Dr. Thorsten Schmiege, President of the Bavarian Regulatory Authority for Commercial Broadcasting (BLM): "The terrestrial digital radio DAB+ with its robust infrastructure offers innovative possibilities for warning, for which neither internet access nor mobile phone coverage is necessary."
