DAB transmissions have resumed in Hong Kong. This is the third set of test transmissions to have been conducted in the Special Administrative Region. The first were conducted in L-band and ceased on June 12th 2001, well after the end of the official test period. Band III tests by RTHK began 2004 but were suspended in 2007 "until further notice". Now, Wave Media Ltd is conducting tests on Block 11C, which will run until April 30th 2010. The Hong Kong government has advertised capacity on a future permanent ensemble that will also use Block 11C. The government expects the multiplex to accomodate up to seven "CD-quality" [Source: HK government website] services if original-flavour DAB is used, or up to 13 using DAB+. According to the government announcement, the public-service broadcaster RTHK will be the site manager for the transmission sites and be responsible for co-ordinating the use of the DAB spectrum and equipment as it does with the current AM/FM services. RTHK may also submit proposals to operate DAB services. Closing date for the advertisement is April 30th 2010. It is understood that the Band III ensemble in Guandong province on the mainland is sometimes receivable in the west of the territory. This was not achieved when attempted February 2002. There are T-DMB transmissions in Shenzhen, that Wohnort has been able to receive in the areas of the New Territories closest to the border, such as Sheung Shui. |
