Lindsay Cornell

BBC Design + Engineering, United Kingdom - Principal Systems Architect

Lindsay has been involved in radio broadcasting throughout his career and is a pioneer of digital broadcasting technologies. He began his involvement in ETSI as Chair of STF-84 in 1997, developing the standard interfaces for the nascent Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) transmission equipment.

Through his careful consensus building approach, Lindsay has led the work to produce numerous digital radio standards (now approaching 100), taking the role of Rapporteur in JTC Broadcast. Lindsay was instrumental in bringing the standards for Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) and RadioDNS hybrid radio into ETSI.

Lindsay has also contributed significantly to the development of Harmonised Standards for the Radio Equipment Directive in TC ERM TG17 (PMSE and broadcast). He has chaired TG17 WG2 since 2014, which has created the multipart deliverable for broadcast sound receivers, and adapted and updated the R&TTED standards for broadcast sound transmitters.

Lindsay continues to collaborate and develop deep relationships across industry, with emphasis also on spectrum and regulatory issues as Chair of CEPT FM51.
