Digital terrestrial radio services

Order amending the Order of 3 January 2008 on radio services broadcast in digital mode by terrestrial radio relay or by satellite in band L or band S, laying down the characteristics of the signals emitted

The draft order aims to simplify the technical characteristics to which signals transmitted for the digital terrestrial broadcasting of radio services in band III must conform. The ‘DMB video services’ standard, based on the standardised digital radio broadcasting system called digital audio broadcasting (DAB), is deleted in order to keep only the DAB+ standard already provided for in the current version of the order.

This order refers to European standards defined within the framework of the European initiative Eureka 147 and approved by ETSI. In this case, broadcasting the services in question requires compliance with standard EN 300 401 according to ETSI’s TS 102 563 specifications.

On an ancillary basis, the draft order restricts broadcasting in accordance with the DAB+ standard to band III.
