 Wohnort's symbol for DAB+  Wohnort's symbol for Band III DAB+ tests have taken place on an experimental ensemble in Brighton. The BBC announced that it would conduct tests of DAB+ during 2014. Ofcom has announced that broadcasters on a forthcoming second national commercial multiplex will be free to use DAB+ if they wish, subject to a maximum of 30% of the ensemble's capacity. Generally, however, broadcasting in the UK still uses "original-flavour" DAB transmitted in Band III. A "tick mark" is to be launched this year as a marketing tool to signify receivers that meet a certain minimum specification. DAB+ capability is expected to be one of the requirements for the tick mark. Wohnort recommends, now more than ever, that you should consider buying a receiver that is DAB+ capable even if you never plan to take it out of the country with you. Such a receiver should also be more future-proof than one which only receives DAB.

Minimuxes


 
The UK regulator is to develop plans for the implementation and licensing of small-scale DAB. A low-power trial was run in Brighton during the Autumn of 2012 that demonstrated the feasibility of using software-defined solutions for coding and multiplexing. Ofcom is currently consulting on its plans and intends to invite applications for further trials in 10 areas (more than originally announced) in Spring 2015, with transmissions beginning in the Summer. Ofcom will report to government in mid-2016 at the conclusion of the trials and make recommendations on a licensing framework. Licences will be listed here by area when announced.
