Gibraltar - Dec 18, 2012 - Gibraltar Chief Minister, the Hon. Fabian
Picardo MP, officially launched Gibraltar's digital broadcasting network
at midday on Dec. 18, 2012. He also unveiled a plaque at the Upper
Signal Station on the top of the Rock where the transmitters and mast
are located.
The new network comprises two DAB radio multiplexes, each capable of
carrying four radio programs, along with two digital television
multiplexes.
Earlier this year, the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority awarded the tender to Arqiva
to build the digital infrastructure in Gibraltar. Arqiva is a
communications infrastructure and media services company that much of
the infrastructure behind television, radio, satellite and wireless
communications in the UK and has a significant presence in Ireland and
mainland Europe.
Throughout most of this year Arqiva has been busy working non-stop
in order to meet the end of year deadline for the discontinuation of
analog television in Gibraltar. System testing began at the end of
November.
