Germany’s Media Broadcast and Eurofins are working together to develop a receiver specification and test suite, in preparation for the launch of the DVB-T2 platform. A soft launch is expected in June 2016.
In related news, public broadcaster ARD has issues a preliminary timetable for its T2 switch. The transsition will begin in large urban areas with high DTT penetration (mainly cities) in 2017, and be completed by mid-2019. A simulcast period will last for a maximum of nine months.
