Cabinet has approved an 82.4 million dollar Digital Migration contract to be executed by a Ghanaian company K-NET Limited.<\/p>\n
The migration to digital terrestrial television (DTT) will guarantee multiple TV channels, clearer pictures, better sound quality and offer more opportunities for advertisers and broadcasters.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”upulqDmPO78IODPfuSy9kuGkTxQ5FZU2″]K-NET is expected to complete the entire migration process in 9 months as the project is divided into 3 phases.<\/p>\n
Cabinet, at a previous sitting, approved the auctioning of spectrums to be freed from the migration to pay for the cost of the digital migration.<\/p>\n
KNET’s 82.4 million dollar contract sum is 13 million dollar cheaper than the 95 million dollar Star Times contract, which was terminated for non-performance.<\/p>\n
Founded in 1996, K-NET is a wholly Ghanaian owned\u200b \u200btelecoms infrastructure company providing world-class telecoms services comparable to international best standards.<\/p>\n
With 100% network coverage in Ghana and footprints across sub-Saharan Africa, the Ghanaian company is also the major provider of connectivity services to over 50 radio stations and 30 TV channels in Ghana.<\/p>\n
K-NET owns the\u200b \u200bbiggest ISP infrastructure supporting Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), Direct -to-Home TV (DTH) and Telecoms.<\/p>\n
