Uganda's UCC launches DAB pilot project
The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has launched a DAB+ Pilot Project. The pilot project will run for a duration of one year and will cover Greater Kampala, with a coverage radius of approximately 80km from Summit View Hill, Kololo, Kampala. In the Greater Kampala area, the DAB+ Pilot Project already boasts an impressive roster of stations, including UBC Star FM, Next Radio, KFM, XFM, Galaxy FM, and Green Radio. Eng. Irene Kaggwa Sewankambo, Ag. Executive Director, said, “The launch of the DAB comes as a solution to the finite resource, which has more demand and lower frequencies.” Additionally, she stated, “The pilot aims to establish what policy, regulatory, and operational interventions are required so that Uganda can harness DAB.”
