Background

•   Kanal Plus FM community radio since 1989
•   Politicians discuss closing the FM band
•   13 digital radio blocks for regional and local stations
•   Costs and coverage excessive for community radio
•   Experience from digital TV switch-over scary

                                                    Map: IT- og Telestyrelsen




                       Digital Radio Summit 2012  Geneva, Switzerland          4
What to do…

• Need for smaller coverage area
• Commercial digital radio equipment costly
• Search for affordable solution




                    Digital Radio Summit 2012  Geneva, Switzerland   5
…and how we did it

•   CRC mmbTools test transmission software
•   Off-the-shelf USRP and RF hardware
•   Standard band III transmit antenna
•   EUR 20.000 total investment
•   Neighbouring community stations joined multiplex




                     Digital Radio Summit 2012  Geneva, Switzerland   6
Preliminary conclusions

•   One DAB+ transmitter can replace all FM community
    radio transmitters in Copenhagen
•   Investment with 43 time-share stations: EUR 500 each
•   More than twice the present FM air time




                                                                  Community FM transmitters in Copenhagen.
                                                                  Map: Google Maps

The future as we see it

•   Build on experience from the Kanal Plus trial

    complement existing frequency plan
