Public institutions in the project
The project with Niger’s Ministry of Communication and New Information Technologies covers Kayıoğlu Holding’s satellite and digital broadcasting services implemented through locally established NI-KA SARLU. The Ministry is the contractual counterpart in Niger.
NI-KA SARLU supplies Télédiffusion du Niger (TDN) with satellite capacity acquired from Arabsat and Eutelsat. C-band distribution through TDN across Africa covers Télé Sahel, TAL TV and Voix du Sahel alongside Niger’s private television and radio stations. Satellite distribution to Europe is also provided for Télé Sahel and Voix du Sahel.
Radio-Télévision du Niger (RTN) is the institution served by the OTT and digital broadcasting part of the project. The scope comprises OTT platform development, live-streaming websites, an institutional website, a news website, mobile applications, technical support and CDN services. TA Dijital and TOPFIYT developed different parts of the software.
RTN’s web services and Apple App Store application are available. The Android application is awaiting Google Play review and approval. RTN retains editorial responsibility; the project does not transfer ownership of satellites or broadcasting institutions.
