Workshop to present DAB+ pilot project in Senegal

07.05.2024 - Senegal Senegal

As part of the development of broadcasting services in Senegal and following the adoption of DAB/DAB+ standards by the international community, the ARTP is organising a workshop on Wednesday 8 May 2024, starting at 9am at the Terrou-bi Hotel in Dakar, to present the Digital Radio pilot project carried out in the country. Faced with the scarcity or even shortage of frequencies in the FM band, particularly in certain parts of the country, the Authority has initiated a DAB+ standard "Radio Numérique Terrestre" (RNT) pilot project to explore alternatives to FM broadcasting and thus better meet the frequency demands of radio broadcasters. The workshop will provide an opportunity to present the details of the RNT pilot project, as well as the challenges and prospects for the service in the country. The workshop will include a video message from WorldDAB Project Director, Bernie O'Neill.
