Federal Agency for Digital Radio of Authorities and Organizations

Founded in April 2007, the BDBOS has the legal mandate to establish and operate the BOS radio and to ensure its functionality.

It is to ensure the nationwide uniformity of digital BOS radio, coordinate the digital public safety radio project and ensure the replacement of the completely obsolete analog radio technology.

Several cities are under discussion as reference platforms, including Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg, Lüneburg, Stuttgart and Munich. The federal government and the German states want to start setting up digital radio for public authorities before the end of 2007.
