Doha: Radio Broadcasting Department at the Ministry of Culture and Sports has announced the details of the Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), which came within the framework of keeping pace with the technology revolution, which includes radio broadcasting.
The launch of the new system comes in light of finding better means of radio broadcasting, to keep pace with development.
After the reliance was previously focused on AM and FM frequencies, the DAB was developed through devices installed in cars. Listening to DAB is also available through portable devices.
This project attracts requests for licenses for radio channels with DAB technology, which provides its services to government entities and various community institutions.
Ambulances and civil defence can benefit from the Digital Audio Broadcasting, which will provide various radio services through satellites.
The DAB uses advanced techniques for encoding and compression, and it is characterised by selectivity and high sound quality by providing many additional data and information, such as some traffic data related to congestion sites and weather maps.
Requests to obtain licensing services are submitted through requesting the service from the Ministry of Culture and Sports’ website https://www.mcs.gov.qa/.
