10D DAB+ Network now live in Flanders, enabled by Cellnex Broadcast Partners

A significant milestone in the Belgian media landscape has been reached as the new 10D DAB+ radio network officially went on air on May 1st. This cutting-edge platform, now fully operational, was launched with impressive speed and precision, following the unexpected surrender of the licenses of the previous networks.

Rising to the occasion, the Cellnex Broadcast Partners team demonstrated remarkable agility and deep technical skill in the rollout of the 10D network. By swiftly mobilizing resources and expertise, the team behind 10D transformed a complex situation into an opportunity to deliver a cutting-edge broadcasting infrastructure. Thanks to close internal coordination and a hands-on mindset, the final phase of the rollout was completed on schedule. With the addition of 28 extra transmitters, the company moves closer to an important milestone: managing 1,000 active transmitters across the Netherlands and Flanders by 2025.

A cornerstone of this success has been the close collaboration with DPG and Mediahuis. Working hand-in-hand, we established commercial and technical conditions that align with the needs of all stakeholders. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our clients for their open, constructive, and forward-thinking partnership, which was instrumental in bringing this project to fruition.

“This is a proud moment for our team. The dedication, technical expertise, and collaborative spirit of our team made this possible,” says Nuno Carvalhosa, CEO of the Cellnex Western Europe Cluster and CEO of Cellnex Netherlands. “The 10D network not only enhances our service offering but also sets a new standard for radio broadcasting in Flanders,” says Pascal Levrier, CTO Broadcasting.

The 10D network represents a bold step forward in delivering reliable, high-quality radio services to listeners across the region. As we celebrate this achievement, we remain committed to innovation and excellence in serving our clients and audiences. The 10D network is now fully operational and ready to serve listeners across Flanders and Brussels with the quality and consistency they expect.

“We extend our sincere gratitude to all parties who contributed to the successful realization of this transition, particularly given the exceptionally short timeframe. The unwavering professionalism, dedication, and collaborative spirit demonstrated by everyone involved have been instrumental in achieving this milestone. Above all, we are pleased that our audiences can continue to enjoy their favourite radio stations — now delivered in superior digital quality — without disruption,” says Tom Klerkx, CEO Mediahuis Radio.

“I want to extend my sincere thanks to everyone involved in the successful launch of our new DAB+ network. We jointly overcame all hurdles in an extremely short timeframe. This achievement showcases what’s possible when expertise, dedication, and collaboration come together,” says Frank Mathys, CTO DPG Media.
