Turkey transitions to DAB+

Turkey’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, announced the country’s transition to DAB+ technology. DAB+ offers a significant technological upgrade over analog FM, Uraloğlu said, delivering clearer audio while optimizing spectrum use. “Beyond sound quality, DAB+ enriches the listening experience with additional content such as text, images and live traffic updates. It also supports sustainability by reducing energy consumption. A single DAB+ transmitter can carry 16 channels using just 12.2 kW, compared to FM’s 128 kW for the same number of channels, cutting energy use by 90% and lowering carbon emissions.”
