Revitalising targeted radio broadcasting: the Bundeswehr modernises the transmission facilities of the Bundeswehr’s Operational Communications Centre
Even in the digital age, radio remains important to the Bundeswehr. This capability of the Bundeswehr is to be maintained and expanded in the coming years. To this end, the Federal Office for Equipment, Information Technology and Use of the Bundeswehr has commissioned the Bremen-based company FHF Flurfördergeräte GmbH to carry out a comprehensive refurbishment (modernisation) of the transmission cabins. The Bundeswehr’s mobile radio transmitters consist of transmission cabins, equipment teams, power generators and a mobile 25-metre antenna. Over the next few years, the ageing transmission cabins are also to be refurbished and housed in containers. As part of the modernisation, transmissions will in future not only take place in the FM frequency band, but will also utilise digital and, at the same time, more efficient Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB+) for the transmission of information.
