ETSI Broadcasting Standards for Radio and TV Systems

Description

ETSI develops and maintains standards and technical specifications for broadcasting platforms and systems used in television, radio, and data services. Its broadcasting work covers delivery via terrestrial transmitters, satellite, cable, the Internet, and mobile communication systems.

The page highlights work on Digital Audio Broadcasting, 5G terrestrial broadcast for linear TV and radio services, and the standardisation of broadcast systems and programme transmission and reception equipment. It also references JTC Broadcast, the joint technical committee responsible for this area.

ETSI’s broadcasting activities include collaboration with organisations such as the European Broadcasting Union, CENELEC, DVB Project, WorldDAB, Digital Radio Mondiale, RadioDNS Hybrid Radio, HbbTV, and the 5G Media Action Group. The page also notes harmonised standards for products placed on the market in line with European legislation.

For radio professionals, the page is relevant as a standards reference for broadcast transmission, reception, and digital radio technologies, including DAB and related hybrid and terrestrial systems.
