(CercleFinance.com) – Spie announced on Tuesday that it had been chosen to modernize the communication systems within the Belgian Flemish tunnels by integrating the new DAB+ digital radio technology.
The engineering group indicates that it will extend its collaboration with Jacops, a specialist in infrastructure techniques, in order to optimize communication throughout the tunnels in Flanders.
In addition to optimizing the sound and the range of the radio frequency, the deployment must provide a series of advantages, particularly with regard to the communications of emergency messages in the event of an accident or works.
Police, firefighters and emergency services can now communicate more effectively through an operator to ensure operations in the field run smoothly.
Increasingly popular in Europe, DAB+ technology is compatible with FM radio and can reach most vehicles on the road.
