Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct. 16
By Huseyn Veliyev – Trend:
The work to create backup digital TV and radio broadcasting network in the north-west direction from Azerbaijan’s Baku to Shaki city is planned for 2018, a source in the country’s TV and radio broadcasting market told Trend.
According to the source, the backup network will be partially built by digitizing transmitters that were previously used for analog broadcasting. For this purpose, additional equipment will be purchased.
Currently, the total number of digital transmitters in Azerbaijan is near 150. This year, backup network was created in the northern direction from Baku to Guba cities, by installing additional transmitters.
The backup network allows ensuring uninterrupted broadcasting. At present, backup digital network is also laid from Baku in the southern and western directions.
Azerbaijan completely switched to digital broadcasting in December 2016.
