- COMMISSIONING OF FOUR NEW MULTIPLEXES FOR DAB+ DIGITAL RADIO
- LAUNCH OF EXPERIMENTAL DAB+ BROADCASTING FROM THE EIFFEL TOWER
TDF is helping to accelerate the rollout of DAB+ digital radio in France, with the commissioning of four local or regional multiplexes in the Poitiers, Orléans and, this summer, La Rochelle areas.
Since DAB+ kicked off in 2014, TDF has deployed more than 60 broadcast transmitters, broadcasting around 100 programs in DAB+ in major cities such as Paris, Marseille, Bordeaux, Lille, Nice, Toulon, Avignon and Annecy. Inhabitants of the areas served can now benefit from high-quality sound, improved listening continuity on the move, and the arrival of new radio stations.
Experimentation launched for DAB+ from the Eiffel Tower
To coincide with the Fête de la Radio and the Paris Radio Show 2022, TDF is launching an experiment to broadcast a DAB+ program from the Eiffel Tower.
Last March, TDF carried out a technical operation at the top of the Eiffel Tower to install a DAB+ antenna by helicopter. Designed by TDF experts, this new antenna dedicated to digital terrestrial radio broadcasting will provide optimum coverage for the 12 million inhabitants of the Paris region.

TDF, a major player in radio broadcasting, will be present at the Paris Radio Show (stand H), the leading trade show for radio, on June 2 and 3 in Paris (La Seine Musicale, Boulogne-Billancourt).
As an industrial partner to radio publishers, TDF supports its customers in broadcasting FM and DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting or Radio Numérique Terrestre) radio throughout France.
For the Paris Radio Show, TDF has developed an event portal dedicated to the show.
Available on June 2 and 3, the portal enables visitors to the show - via dedicated High Density Wi-Fi - to take advantage of all the resources (podcasts, conferences, radio programs, masterclasses, and other applications...) offered during the event.
Since 2017, TDF has been providing Wi-Fi coverage at La Seine Musicale thanks to a hundred ultra-high-performance terminals spread across the site, with on-demand configurations available for each event.
Olivier Huart, Chairman and CEO of TDF said:
"TDF is a major player in radio broadcasting in France. As a fervent defender of this medium, we are committed to supporting our customers, the program publishers, to best meet their coverage needs."
