Treg'rs When I asked the Swiss if they were going to adopt TBR 21 I was told no. I am under the impression the Swiss only monitor the ETSI meetings, they are not participants.
Upon being informed of the Swiss response two of my clients have decided not enter Swiss market. They said the added cost of manufacturing, approvals and time do not justify supporting such a small market. If and when they adopt TBR 21 my clients will consider entering the Swiss market.
