Digital radio in tunnels – Switzerland as a test ground
At the end of June SRG SSR, in collaboration with the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM), the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO), SwissMediaCast and a number of manufacturers, will begin digital radio tunnel tests. The findings will also benefit Switzerland’s international neighbours. The programme will be testing the latest technical digital radio equipment, including the facility to interrupt broadcasts with important emergency travel information, as required by ASTRA. MCDT has been able to engage importers of Audis, BMWs and Minis to participate in the tests by providing cars fitted with the latest DAB+ car radios.
