Australia - Details of Trials - History

The first DAB+ trials started in Australia on 1st July 2007. Australia is working with other Asia Pacific countries to encourage the take up of DAB+.

Prior to this, Australian broadcasters had conducted DAB trials in Sydney on L-band since 1998 and on VHF Band III since 2003. A single high-powered Band III transmission, and two L-band cells to the west and north of Sydney, provided around 80% population coverage.

There have, in the past, also been DMB trials in Australia but at the present time there is no clear view on where the mobile TV market will go.
