BOS radio

Up until the late 2010s, operational analog radio relays of the authorities and organizations with security tasks were kept on the telecommunications tower . The police, as well as the fire brigade, rescue service and disaster control each had a radio channel with which the radio communication to the control center and the vehicles with each other in the area of ​​the former district of Siegen was usually possible. However, despite the exposed location of the tower, there were individual dead spots in Freudenberg and in Burbacher Hickengrund . In the end, the technology only served as a fall-back level for digital radio .
