Factum Electronics supplies DAB systems to Switzerland

SRG SSR idée suisse, the public broadcaster in Switzerland, replaces two existing “aged” DAB systems with DAB head-end systems from Factum Electronics AB. Two regions broadcasting in German and French will be provided with future-proof DAB services using the Factum system.

The ordered equipment consists of redundant multiplexer systems, audio encoders, data broadcasting servers and redundancy switches. A comprehensive package of training and software development tools are also part of the order. Factum Electronics has previously delivered similar solutions to broadcasters worldwide. At present, Factum Electronics takes part in several DAB/DMB tests around the world including test runs for T-DMB broadcasting during the FIFA World Cup in Germany, T-DMB trials in Denmark and a DAB-IP/T-DMB trial in the UK. “Once again we have been awarded a prestigious contract with SRG SSR idée suisse and we are very proud to be entrusted to supply our DAB solution together with our partner Teletrend AG. This proves that our focus on customer needs and our development concept are appreciated by our customers”, says Kenneth Lundgren, Managing Director, Factum Electronics AB. “SRG has yet again chosen Factum as supplier since we are convinced by the overall well balanced package of features, reliability, quality and services provided by Factum Electronics and Teletrend AG. The user-friendliness, flexibility and low long-term cost-of-ownership of Factum Electronics’ equipment is appealing to us,” says Klaus Probst, Project Manager DAB platform at SRG SSR idée suisse.
