The location of radio transmitters in Switzerland covers broadcasting and telecommunications infrastructure, including radio, TV, and mobile networks. Transmitter sites are mapped and detailed data, including frequencies and technical specifications, are available for analysis and planning purposes.
Switzerland’s radio and telecommunications services are provided by numerous transmission facilities, the locations of which can be viewed on an overview map in the geoportal. These facilities enable the reception of radio and television programs as well as mobile phone services. Basic data for each transmission site is available in an information window, supplemented by detailed explanations on the overview map. Users can also download transmitter lists containing detailed information, such as Swiss FM transmitters by location or frequency, digital radio, and digital television. Data on licensed transmitters and those coordinated under international agreements, particularly the Geneva Plan (GE84, GE06), is provided in machine-readable formats (.csv and .xml) to facilitate computer-assisted analysis and the planning of new transmitter sites. Additionally, further information on frequency blocks for T-DAB (Band III) and digital DVB-T channel allocations (Bands IV and V) is available in the form of PDF documents. The website also offers relevant links, such as to SRG SSR Broadcast, swissinfo, the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) with references to the NIS specialist offices, guidelines for municipalities on the assessment of mobile phone antennas, information for radio and television broadcasters, and the Federal Office of Public Health regarding radiation exposure. Finally, the collection includes official documents such as the Final Acts of the Regional Administrative Radio Conference on the planning of VHF sound broadcasting for Region 1 and parts of Region 3. Overall, this provides a comprehensive, transparent, and technically sound source of information on the locations of transmission facilities in Switzerland, which is of great interest to both experts and the general public.
